The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has presented its Crisis Response Plans for 2026, which include 32 priority country and regional projects. This was reported in a published document.
The plans aim to provide assistance to 22.7 million people—migrants, refugees, internally displaced persons, and host communities. These activities will require $2.5 billion, reflecting the scale of current global humanitarian needs.
IOM noted that while the funding request is lower than in previous years, this does not mean a decrease in needs. Limited resources will be focused on the most severe crises, the most vulnerable populations, and operations most likely to save lives and stabilize communities, while maintaining flexibility to expand assistance as funding becomes available.
Particular attention is being paid to Sudan: since the beginning of the conflict, nearly one in three people in the country has been forced to flee their homes. By 2026, IOM plans to mobilize $170 million to assist 1.3 million Sudanese affected by the war. The organization places a strong emphasis on supporting local communities and institutions, investing in their capacity to deliver quality assistance and ensure a sustainable, locally focused response.
All 32 plans highlight the crucial dependence of millions of people on timely and predictable financing. The 2026 crisis response plans aim to articulate global needs, demonstrating how every dollar invested contributes to the safety, dignity, and recovery of people affected by crises.
