About Voluntary Returns and Reintegration

Mission

As a core activity of IOM, AVRR activities provide vital assistance to thousands of migrants every year. Building on experience and a world-wide network of offices and partners, IOM’s AVRR programmes strive to ensure that migrants in need are assisted to return voluntarily, safely and in dignity, and are supported in achieving sustainable reintegration, in full respect for human rights, regardless of their status.

Beneficiaries

For migrants who need to return home but lack the means to do so, IOM’s AVRR programmes are often the only solution to their immediate plight. Beneficiaries of IOM’s assistance include:

• individuals whose application for asylum was rejected or withdrawn
• stranded migrants
• victims of trafficking, and
• other vulnerable groups, including unaccompanied migrant children, or those with health-related needs.

The “Assisted Voluntary Returns and Reintegration” project  No. AMIF / 18/01 is financed by the European Union within the national program of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the budget of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic
