IOM Haiti has received US$ 2.088 million in new funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) to contribute to the protection of the most vulnerable people displaced by the earthquake. An estimated 2,000 individuals including survivors and victims of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) will receive assistance, either directly or through referral to project partners.
