Statistical overview of IOM’s activities 2001-2010

Since its inception in 1951, IOM has played an increasingly important role in the international migration field, serving migrants and Member States around the world. Growth has been particularly strong over the last 10 years: State membership has more than doubled; the budget has quadrupled in size; and IOM’s portfolio of activities has become so diversified that its stakeholders find it hard to keep track of what the organization does, and where, how and under what circumstances it intervenes. In this sixtieth anniversary year, it therefore seemed appropriate to prepare a statistical overview to the World Migration Report to provide a concise overview of IOM’s activities. It is hoped that the figures presented will provide a baseline against which to measure future activity levels.
