Contexto

The HoA and Yemen are faced with unprecedented levels of mixed migration. Over 107’000 people crossed the Gulf of Aden or the Red Sea to Yemen and beyond in 2012; 25% of it crossing from Bosaso (Puntland). People in mixed migration flows face numerous rights violations during their travel, upon arrival and also in transit. There is a general lack of knowledge and information of the protection needs, and respect for the rights of people in mixed migration flows in the HoA. Partial Action I of this intervention focuses on protection needs in Puntland, while Partial Action II supports the Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (RMMS) in its information sharing and awareness raising of protection needs in a regional context.

Objetivos

To strengthen protection of people in mixed migration flows (refugees, IDPs, migrants) in the HoA and Yemen region.
