Morocco: First Contributor to IOM Resilience Fund
Morocco became on Monday the first country to contribute to the newly launched Resilience Fund of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), announced Amy Pope, Director General of the UN agency. "We are proud to announce that Morocco has made an exceptional voluntary contribution to the newly launched IOM Resilience Fund, becoming the first member state to do so," she stated in a message shared on social media. This initiative aims to mobilize USD 100 million in flexible funding to support IOM's essential humanitarian operations and emergency responses for migrants and displaced populations. "Morocco's support helps ensure IOM remains agile, accountable, and ready to deliver for people on the move, wherever and whenever it's needed most," the UN official emphasized. According to Ms. Pope, Morocco's contribution fully reflects the objectives of the Resilience Fund campaign: to mobilize flexible and unearmarked resources that allow IOM to respond swiftly to crises, strengthen its field operations, and future-proof its core capacities, from emergency response to protection and counter-trafficking. All of this is aimed at "maximizing positive impact where it matters most: on the ground," she added. This unearmarked fund will be used to finance protection, anti-trafficking, and direct humanitarian assistance activities in crisis areas. With this initial contribution, "Morocco reaffirms its leadership in global migration governance and solidarity with vulnerable communities on the move," underlined Ms. Pope. Morocco has been a member state of the IOM since 1998 and plays an active role in the organization's governing bodies, particularly through the implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration, adopted in December 2018 in Marrakech.

Ahmed Emam On Wednesday, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Egypt handed over an electricity generator and 12 air conditioners (ACs) to the General Authority for Land and Dry Ports of the Egyptian Ministry of Transport to support operations at Egypt's Southern Border Crossing Points (BCPs) with Sudan. This initiative is part of the ongoing strategic collaboration between IOM and the Government of Egypt, to facilitate dignified cross-border movements of individuals while ensuring a decent working environment for Egyptian officials, with thanks to the generous funding of the Government of Japan.

This initiative complements other joint efforts between IOM and the Government of Egypt, whose commendable efforts in hosting migrants for decades contributes to safe and orderly migration.' said Mr. Carlos Oliver Cruz, Chief of Mission of IOM Egypt. 'I would also like to express IOM's gratitude to the Government of Japan, whose generous support has allowed us to implement several crucial projects spanning different areas of migration governance, in close coordination with our Egyptian counterparts.' The electricity generator will serve as a reliable power source to sustain efficient cross-border operations the Egyptian Southern Border Crossing Points (BCP) with Sudan, while the ACs will help maintain a safe, hygienic, and decent environment for vulnerable migrants crossing the border as well as appropriate working conditions for the Egyptian officials at Egypt's Southern BCPs. Provision of these items aligns with objectives of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM), of which Egypt is a Champion Country.
