Organization Profile
Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental,
intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. With 122 member states, a further 18 states holding observer status and offices in over 100
countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to
governments and migrants. IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international
cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to
migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.
IOM started its work in Tajikistan in 1992 after winning independence. As of 1994 Tajikistan became the member state of IOM and the
cooperation agreement was signed with the Government of Tajikistan.
