Powered by IOM through COMPASS

This initiative is powered by COMPASS, a flagship programme of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). COMPASS (Cooperation on Migration and Partnerships to Achieve Sustainable Solutions) works to enhance the protection of migrants and promote safe and regular migration pathways. Through this partnership and the generous funding of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, WakaWell brings together the expertise and resources of IOM to support migrants and their communities.
