With both conflict and disaster-induced displacement evident in many countries, it is expected that higher numbers of people will move in and out of situations of vulnerability, stemming from a range of drivers including climate change, instability, poverty and exploitation. IOM’s Crisis Response Plans, span the humanitarian-development-peace nexus, and contextualize the Organization’s efforts to effectively and holistically meet the needs of populations impacted by crisis and fragility while investing in averting, minimizing and addressing the drivers of crises and displacement and co-creating sustainable solutions. As people of different genders, age, cultural and socio-economic status, and other vulnerabilities face different risks and are affected differently by crises, IOM ensures that these specificities are taken into account. IOM's people-centered approach ensures that needs are met, rights are protected and resilience is built, with accountability to affected populations an institutional commitment. IOM further collaborates with Governments, civil society, academia and a growing number of private sector actors to understand and together address the mobility dimensions of crisis.
