The EU-IOM Joint Initiative builds on strong ownership and wide investment of the various state- and non-state actors in the involved countries. The EU-IOM Joint Initiative therefore closely cooperates with all actors involved and strengthens structures of migration governance. Such approach will simultaneously contribute to increasing the sustainability of the actions under the EU-IOM Joint Initiative. 

How is the EU-IOM Joint Initiative supporting capacity building?
 

1. Strengthen the capacity of governments and local stakeholders to protect vulnerable and stranded migrants and facilitate safe and dignified voluntary return.
2. Strengthen the capacity of governments and local stakeholders to ensure the sustainable reintegration of returning migrants and ownership of reintegration activities at the national level
