The International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) was founded in 1993, upon the initiative of Austria and Switzerland. The organisation was created to serve as a support mechanism for informal consultations, and to provide expertise and efficient services in the newly emerging landscape of multilateral cooperation on migration and asylum issues. ICMPD’s Headquarters in Vienna play a central role in steering the strategic and operational direction of the organisation. In addition, the Brussels Mission strengthens ICMPD’s cooperation with the European Union and partner countries. ICMPD also operates a broad field presence, with 34 field and project offices coordinated through its Regional Offices across the organisation’s priority regions. This structure enables ICMPD to remain closely connected to developments on the ground and to deliver targeted support to its stakeholders. ICMPD has 21 Member States which form a Steering Group that exercise general supervision of ICMPD and approve strategic decisions. Decisions are taken based on the majority principle. The Steering Group is chaired by a different member state each year (rotation principle). The ICMPD Member States Programme (MSP) provides a structured framework for activities tailored specifically to the needs and priorities of ICMPD Member States. It supports national efforts to develop and implement effective migration policies by connecting Member States with the organisation’s thematic expertise, regional insights, and practical experience. The Programme serves both as a strategic platform for informal, solutions-oriented dialogue and peer-to-peer learning, as well as a gateway to ICMPD’s institutional expertise. Through this dual role, it enables Member States to access innovative practices, expert analysis, and outcomes from across ICMPD’s work.

Through the Resettlement Support Center in Thailand assisted more than 13,000 refugees from East Asia to resettle in the United States. In the United States, helped resettle 13,400 newly arrived refugees Since the start of the Syrian conflict in 2011, Lebanon has taken in over 1 million refugees. Syrians now constitute almost a third of the country’s population. With no formal refugee camps in Lebanon, Syrians are living in cramped apartments, unfinished buildings and tents. Currently, humanitarian services are unable to keep up with needs as refugees deplete their resources. What are the main humanitarian challenges in Lebanon?Seven out of 10 Syrian refugees in Lebanon live in extreme poverty. Meanwhile, host communities, many of them already poor, have seen living conditions deteriorate in their neighborhoods. Approximately 200,000 Syrian children in Lebanon do not attend school. Those who do make it back into the classroom often need extra support because of years of lost education. Many children have experienced trauma and require emotional support. Women and girls, specifically, are at risk of violence and exploitation in daily life, and many cannot access the services and support they need. How does the IRC help in Lebanon?The IRC’s mission is to provide emergency aid and other support to refugees living in unsafe conditions. The IRC also assists vulnerable communities that host refugees. We began our work in Lebanon in 2012 as Syrian refugees began fleeing the civil war. We have been providing economic support, legal services, education and protection for the most vulnerable, including the elderly and people with disabilities. The IRC is working in all areas of the country to support refugee and host communities by: operating classrooms and teacher training programs for thousands of Syrian children; providing Syrian refugees with cash assistance for basic needs; providing safe spaces for women and girls to gather, share information and receive emotional support, crisis counseling and social worker assistance; providing children with creative learning and therapeutic activities to help them recover from trauma and avoid working out in the streets; providing refugees and local communities with skills training, small business development and job placement; providing legal and information to refugees to help them access services and exercise their right to international protection. What still needs to be done?As the crisis pushes thousands of refugees into poverty and threatens their long-term social and economic health, the IRC’s work in Lebanon is more critical than ever. We pledge to put the needs of those most affected by crisis at the forefront of our efforts and to achieve measurable improvements in safety, empowerment, education, and economic well-being. Here’s a closer look at some of the work we will be doing over the next few years to achieve our goals. We will continue to support Syrians who have been forced from their homes, as well as underserved Lebanese. The IRC will also open and expand sites across Lebanon according to greatest need. IRC teams and partners currently reach almost 60,000 people in Lebanon with lifesaving support. Over the next several years, we will focus on the following areas: Safety As a leader in protection, the IRC will strengthen our efforts to stop child labor, identify violations of refugee rights, and provide legal services to those in need. We will also address the special needs of street children and women and girls at risk for abuse and isolation. Power The IRC will increase our efforts to empower refugees and improve their quality of life. We will work to strengthen relationships between host and refugee communities through dialogue and problem solving. We will also improve local capacity to provide social services by building local and national systems in case management and in family and labor law. Education The IRC will launch early childhood education services to help refugee children succeed in Lebanese public schools. Economic wellbeing The IRC will provide more skills training and create new partnerships with businesses that hire refugees. We will also help women and girls achieve equality with men and boys.
