Sweden's contribution is part of IOM's Resilience Campaign, a global effort to raise USD 100 million in flexible funding to help the Organization safeguard its core capacities amid rising global instability.
“Sweden has long been a constructive and reliable partner of IOM, with a clear commitment to multilateral cooperation and rights-based approaches to migration,” said IOM Director General Amy Pope. “This renewed support reflects a strategic, political and operational partnership that continues to deepen, in line with Sweden’s migration priorities and IOM’s global mandate.”
Sweden’s contribution also demonstrates confidence in IOM’s ability to respond effectively in a rapidly changing global environment. By providing flexible funding, Sweden joins a growing group of governments that recognize the importance of enabling UN organizations to remain agile and responsive to emerging priorities and evolving needs. Unearmarked contributions allow IOM to direct resources where they are most urgently needed, strengthen preparedness, and sustain critical operations for vulnerable communities around the world.
The funding will help strengthen the systems that enable IOM to operate effectively and transparently, including oversight, evaluation, auditing, and efforts to prevent fraud and corruption. These functions help ensure that resources are used responsibly, and that assistance reaches people who need it most.
Through this partnership, Sweden is helping to strengthen IOM’s capacity to respond to emerging needs, support people on the move, and work with governments to address migration challenges in a coordinated and sustainable way. The contribution reinforces a shared commitment to international cooperation and effective multilateral action in an increasingly complex global landscape.
