IOM works in the four broad areas of migration management: Migration and development, Facilitating migration, Regulating migration, Forced migration.

Mozambique has been a Member State of IOM since 2011. IOM is closely working with the Government of Mozambique and has been providing technical support and assistance to the Government since 1994.
