The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Lebanon is key UN agency engaged in addressing the root causes of irregular migration and supporting vulnerable communities. Through its program “Safe in Lebanon: Promoting Health and Well-Being in Communities Prone to Irregular Migration,” IOM aims to enhance access to health services—including mental health and psychosocial support—while also strengthening academic research capacities on migration.

The IOM country office in Lebanon is implementing programmes aimed at improving access to labour mobility pathways for Syrian refugees in Lebanon. The primary focus of the programmes is to promote access to complementary labour pathways as durable solutions for Syrian refugees while providing additional support for upskilling Lebanese nationals. This will be done through four outcome areas: skills development, job matching, migration planning and post-arrival integration.

Since March 2012, several towns and villages in the North, the Bekaa and the South started receiving Lebanese families who fled Syria, against the backdrop of sectarian conflicts. Most of those families left their hometown decades ago and got Syrian citizenship.
