Integrating Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) with Livelihoods is essential in return, recovery, and reintegration efforts. IOM - UN Migration supports IDPs, veterans, and others affected by the war in Ukraine as they re-enter the job market or learn new professions—combining psychosocial and economic support. This work is guided by IOM’s updated MHPSS and Livelihood Integration Manual (2nd edition), which shares best practices and new guidance on supporting veterans and other vulnerable groups through practical tools and integrated approaches. 📘 If you're working on integrated recovery programming, the manual may be a valuable resource: https://lnkd.in/dsgGS5j2 With special thanks to We2 for the tailored design.

We visited Passage Patterns yesterday, an exhibition by Parsons School of Design - The New School MFA Textiles in collaboration with IOM - UN Migration (UK) and ECONYL® brand, and powered by art, technology, and information. The show transforms hard data into woven narratives, literally! From migration flows in the Darién Gap to child protection risks in Thailand, post-flood displacement in Pakistan, climate stress on vegetation in Iraq, and internal mobility in Ukraine, each piece turns data into something you can feel. It was especially meaningful to us. We’ve worked with IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) team for years, so we’ve seen firsthand how powerful this kind of data can be when it’s communicated well. These projects remind us that statistics are never just numbers, they’re stories. Of movement. Of resilience. Of systems that need to change. Creative data storytelling like this matters. It invites empathy, sparks curiosity, and reaches people who might never open a traditional report. What stood out most was the bold mix of data, design, and technology, proving that when these tools are used with intention, they can make even the most complex issues resonate on a deeply human level. Swipe to see the exhibition through our lens. #PassagePatterns #Data #Storytelling #TextileArt #Art #Technology #Parsons #UNMigration #IOM #DesignForImpact #SDGs #CreativeCommunication

Complex reports don’t have to be overwhelming! In a recent partnership with IOM, We2 demonstrated this by transforming IOM’s Global Appeal 2024 report into a visually compelling, strategic asset – helping donors see where their support makes the most impact. Here’s how We2 brought the report to life: 🎭 Visual storytelling – Turned dense data into an engaging narrative. 🗺️ Strategic flowcharts & maps – Clarified programming objectives and priority areas. 📊 Intuitive data visualization – Designed charts that simplify decision-making. 📸 Emotional connection – Balanced stats with photography and case studies for impact. A well-designed report isn’t just informative. It’s a powerful tool for advocacy and action.  See how We2 worked, here: https://lnkd.in/e4QD9Z6e 

Is Foreign Aid a Scam? 💸❓ In a world where skepticism about foreign aid organizations runs deep, it’s easy to question the value of billions spent annually to support global humanitarian efforts. With constant headlines about inefficiency, fraud, or mismanagement, one can’t help but wonder—is foreign aid a scam? The truth is more complex than that. Yes, foreign aid organizations are not without their flaws. Inefficiencies exist, and no system is perfect. But it’s essential to remember that these organizations are often the lifeline for millions of vulnerable people around the world. They’re not just sending money into a void, they’re providing life-saving support to communities ravaged by poverty, war, disease, and displacement. Consider these sobering statistics: ▫️ With 6.7 million more people expected to be displaced in 2025, the crisis is far from over. The UNHCR is struggling to meet the growing demands for refugee assistance, leaving many without shelter, healthcare, and basic needs. ▫️ 4.2 million women and girls globally are being denied essential reproductive care due to recent funding cuts. This is leading to an increase in unintended pregnancies and maternal deaths, as millions lose access to critical health services. ▫️ 1 million people in Myanmar have already lost access to vital meals because of funding shortfalls. The World Food Programme has had to scale back emergency food assistance, putting millions at greater risk of hunger and malnutrition. ▫️ 20 million people are at risk of losing HIV treatment that many depend on for survival. USAID’s funding cuts threaten to disrupt antiretroviral therapy for people living with HIV, potentially reversing decades of progress in fighting the epidemic. These numbers represent real lives—real people—whose health, safety, and survival depend on international aid. While the systems are not flawless, the effort of millions of aid workers around the world is undeniable. Yes, foreign aid organizations might not be perfect, and their efficiency could be improved. But you can’t ignore the reality of millions of aid workers on the frontlines, helping millions in need. Keep the light on the side of humanity. ✨ #ForeignAid #FundingFreeze #HumanitarianAid #SocialGood #UnitedNations #LightTheWay
