The IMMIS is changing the way government institutions work together on migration. By bringing data into one secure, coordinated system, Zambia is reducing duplication, improving consistency, and strengthening accountability.

This approach supports better governance today and smarter planning for tomorrow. IMMIS was developed with funding from the IOM Development Fund, supporting sustainable, nationally owned solutions.

This week, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Zambia participated in the Regional Joint Cross-Border Meeting and Cholera Case Management and Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Training held in Lusaka and convened by the Africa CDC Southern Africa Regional Coordinating Centre. The engagement brought together representatives from ten Southern African Member States and a wide range of public health practitioners.

During the meeting, the IOM Chief of Mission delivered a keynote address emphasizing the importance of mobilityโ€‘sensitive health systems and stronger crossโ€‘border collaboration to address shared public health risks. As she noted: โ€œCholera does not stop at a border post, wait for clearance, or respect jurisdiction. It travels the same routes people do.โ€

IOM remains committed to supporting Member States in strengthening preparedness, response capacities, and cooperation across borders ensuring no mobile population is left behind.

Water is at the heart of climate mobility. Climate change is forcing people to move, and water is central to why: too little water (drought), too much water (floods), or water that is unsafe due to salinity and pollution.

IOM stays beyond the immediate response, strengthening local systems, investing in infrastructure, and supporting governments to manage climate mobility and build resilience. Well-managed migration supports stability and trust.

Today, IOM Zambia joins the nation in celebrating the dedication, resilience, and innovation of young people who are shaping communities across the country and beyond.

Young people including young migrants and those affected by mobility play a vital role in building inclusive, safe, and prosperous societies. Their leadership is essential in advancing Zambiaโ€™s development agenda and supporting national efforts toward social cohesion, climate resilience, public health, and economic growth.

At IOM Zambia, we are inspired by your drive to build societies that are inclusive, safe, and prosperous. Your potential is our greatest asset in driving change.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Zambia, in collaboration with the Government of Zambia, is implementing a strategic initiative to strengthen national climate resilience by mobilizing the diverse expertise of the Zambian diaspora.

As part of this effort, IOM is conducting a comprehensive skills mapping of Zambian diaspora professionals with competencies in climate change adaptation and mitigation. This exercise will capture technical expertise, preferred engagement modalities, willingness to contribute, and genderโ€‘disaggregated data.

The resulting dataset will directly inform:
โœ… Tailored diaspora engagement strategies
โœ… The design of digital platforms and databases supporting climate action
โœ… The development of a robust Diaspora Climate Experts Database to be used for targeted, highโ€‘impact climate resilience programmes nationwide.

We invite consultancy applications to help contribute to Zambiaโ€™s climateโ€‘resilient development pathway.

Around the world, women are on the move โ€“ seeking safety, opportunity, and a future for their families. Their journeys are often shaped by courage, but also by risk.

Too many women and girls on the move face dangers that should never be part of any journey: exploitation, trafficking, and s*xual violence. Too many lack safe shelter, access to hygiene, or the services that protect dignity and health.

Migration systems must do better.

Protecting the rights of women and girls is not optional โ€“ it is fundamental to building migration systems that people can trust. Justice means ensuring that women on the move are safe, heard, and treated with dignity at every stage of their journey.

And action means building migration governance that works in practice: Systems that provide safe shelter, access to healthcare and hygiene, protection from abuse, and pathways that allow women to move safely and contribute fully to their communities.

At the International Organization for Migration, we see every day that migration can work โ€“ when it is safe, orderly, and centered on people.

On this โ€™sDay, let us commit not only to celebrating womenโ€™s resilience, but to creating systems that protect their rights, deliver justice, and turn commitments into action.

The future of migration governance in Zambia is digital, secure, and data-driven!

Thanks to the IOM Development Fund, the Government now has a modern platform โ€” IMMIS โ€” to strengthen border management, support national security, and improve how migration data is shared and used.

The innovation will empower government institutions to:
โœ… Improve border management
โœ… Strengthen national security
โœ… Inform development planning with accurate evidence
โœ… Enhance protection mechanisms for migrants

This is how we build a Zambia that leaves no one behind!
