IOM Health Promotion Strategy for East and Southern Africa 2012-2017 sets out the organisation’s response in the two regions leading towards healthy migrants in healthy communities. Over the next 5 years, IOM will assist and work with partners and governments to implement the four strategic responses as described in this Strategy. This Strategy offers an opportunity for IOM to strengthen its intervention in order to demonstrate increased impact, to harmonise programmes, roll out regional programmes, manage resources and to encourage, where appropriate, new partnerships to achieve strategic objectives.
