Labour Mobility and Social Inclusion 

Optimizing the benefits of labour mobility for the migrants and the countries of origin and destination

IOM Burundi is committed to protecting migrants’ rights by working with governmental partners and developing employment opportunities for youth in Burundi, thus reducing the risk for them to choose irregular migration pathways. Projects and initiatives that promote regular labour migration channels build on existing national and regional frameworks, and facilitate labour mobility, and are implemented in collaboration with public and private sector partners. IOM works closely with the Government of Burundi to provide technical support and guide migration governance on policy and programmatic priorities, thus integrating migration and development into policymaking and programming, with a focus on protecting migrants' rights and providing them with the necessary services and support for their integration.
