Introduction
Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations and the leading UN agency in the field of migration. Working closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners, IOM promotes humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It saves lives and protects people on the move, drives solutions to displacement, and facilitates pathways for regular migration, while providing services and advice to governments and migrants.
IOM is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive and supportive workplace where all employees can thrive professionally and feel valued. By creating such an environment, IOM aims to better harness the full potential of migration and strengthen its support to people on the move.
Project Context and Scope
In September 2025, the Government of the Philippines, through the leadership of the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), approved the Philippines Enhanced National Referral Mechanism Guidelines for Trafficking in Persons Cases and the Philippine Guidelines on the Victim Identification System for Trafficking in Persons. These Guidelines aim to support efficient and coordinated delivery of services for trafficked persons that upholds their rights and prevent further harm. IOM, together with other agencies, supported the development of these Guidelines.
IOM is now supporting the operationalization of the approved VIS and NRM Guidelines by producing a polished version of Guidelines ready for digital and print publication. The published Guidelines will facilitate wider reach of stakeholders and duty bearers, in line with the launch and dissemination plan of IACAT.
