Youth Strategy for the 2021–2024 is thus an important vehicle for giving life to IOM’s Regional Strategy for the East and Horn of Africa (EHOA), and its strategic priorities under the three pillars also outlined in IOM’s global strategic vision: resilience, mobility, and governance. Through this Youth Strategy, IOM seeks to share good practices on mainstreaming migration into the youth developmental agendas of a variety of stakeholders across the countries of the region, namely, Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Somalia, and the United Republic of Tanzania.
This includes, inter alia, national, and local governments, international and civil society organizations, diaspora, academia, NGOs, and others. At the cornerstone of promoting the welfare of young people is the importance of ensuring that a whole of government and a whole of society approach is followed.
