Migration, Displacement & Anti-Trafficking in Asia

At a regional level, it is our vision that by 2030, the IFRC APRO, and regional National Societies have the capacities, expertise and resources required to support and protect people on the move, and can respond holistically to the wide range of issues which arise from Migration, Displacement and Anti-Trafficking. Migration, Displacement and Anti-Trafficking (MDAT) already feature strongly in the work that we do as a region, in our priority countries of Bangladesh, Nepal and Afghanistan, as well as in Myanmar and Pakistan. We have identified MDAT as a key strategic focus area by the Asia team, aligned to the BRC-wide international strategy, in recognition of the fact that the Asia Pacific region is a fulcrum for international migration, with 107 million migrants, and that 80% of sudden onset natural disaster-induced displacement worldwide occurs in the region. This project will ensure that we are coordinating our work around MDAT ensuring that the sum of our work in the region is greater than its parts, and that we have the necessary resources to enable our partner National Societies to implement projects to best support their communities.
