IMMIGRATION AND COMMUNITY STABILIZATION

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ARE KEY ASPECTS TO COMMUNITY STABILIZATION, WHICH IS A PRIMARY MANDATE FOR UN AGENCIES TRYING TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION OF MIGRANTS RETURNING HOME.  THE UN HAS BEEN SUPPORTING AFGHAN INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES IN THEIR EFFORTS TO RECOVER THEIR LIVELIHOODS, IMPROVE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND REPAIR THE SOCIAL WOUNDS CAUSED BY THE ONGOING CONFLICT.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF MIGRATION (IOM) ADDRESSES THE NEEDS OF VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES IN AFGHANISTAN BY ENGAGING COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE DESIGN OF INTERVENTIONS AND THROUGH A FEEDBACK LOOP. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY ESTABLISHING COMMUNITY STRUCTURES THAT ARE COMPOSED OF MOTIVATED INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO WORK TO ENHANCE THE WELFARE OF THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS, AS WELL AS INCLUDING THE VIEWS OF WOMEN AND YOUTH THROUGH THE APPOINTMENT OF DEDICATED REPRESENTATIVES.

DESIGNING CONSCIOUSLY TO REINFORCE AND CREATE LOCAL BUILDING METHODOLOGIES CRITICAL TO A FORWARD-THINKING SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY.
