IOM invites humanitarian NGO partners to the sixth annual IOM-NGO Humanitarian Consultation on Wednesday, 11 October 2023 in Geneva, Switzerland.

Meeting format: In-person and online

Picking up the previous Consultation discussions and following a pandemic hiatus, this year’s event will focus on culture change on localization and meaningful participation. In a hybrid in-person and online format, it will examine IOM-NGO complementarities to drive progress on operationalizing localization at the field level and respond to the current gaps in putting people, their needs and capacities at the center of response. The Consultation will look at IOM-NGO joint approaches to localization and AAP, examine how to jointly implement the related commitments, and seek to identify scalable good practice and actionable recommendations through leveraging IOM and NGOs’ respective strengths, and in line with the respective mandates.

The criteria for registration are one or more of the following:
