The LHD division is also committed to promoting greater mobility and to optimizing the benefits of labour migration for both the countries of origin and destination, as well as for the migrants themselves. In this regard, IOM Somalia is working closely with key government institutions to strengthen institutional capacity and support in the formulation of labour migration-related policies, legislation, and effective labour migration strategies.
