Direct health support

IOM will collaborate with the Ministry of Public Health, specifically with the Emergency Operator Centre, to sensitize decision makers at the central and intermediate health system level on the necessity of the integration of migrant health in the existing health care provision mechanisms so migrants and mobile populations in need of health care seen at points of entry can be assisted.

Burundi hosts migrants from various regions where different languages are spoken. Health care providers will be trained on how to provide migrant-centred health services to ensure the specific needs of the migrants are addressed. Health authorities will be trained on migration-sensitive approach so as migrants needs and responses are incorporated in strategic documents, including financing, policies, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation to insure equitable access to services that are financially and physically accessible, and acceptable to all patients – for example, non-discriminatory and responsive to their gender, cultural and linguistic needs, and are scientifically and medically appropriate. In addition, non-health personnel will be trained on their role in cross-border disease surveillance. They will not replace health personnel, but they will be capacitated to inform competent authorities whenever they see a traveller with health issues. Activities will include:

  • Training health and non-health personnel stationed at PoEs on their roles and responsibilities in cross-border disease surveillance to notably identify needs and sensitive and responsive referral for health care for migrants.
  • Provision of equipment and essential medical equipment such as personal protective equipment (PPE), infrared thermometers, hand sanitizer and so forth at PoEs to strengthen capacity for provision of health care to migrants, travellers, and cross-border communities, including all passengers passing through PoEs.
  • Training of health personnel stationed at the PoEs on risk communication, and community engagement (RCCE).
  • Supporting the information, education, and communication (IEC) service within the Ministry of Health to develop, produce and disseminate IEC materials on diseases with epidemic potential (COVID-19, EVD, etc. 
  • Organization and conduct of RCCE on COVD-19, EVD and other diseases with epidemic potential at the points of entry.

Description of People and Entities Targeted

Returnees, IDPs and host communities face similar hardships in terms of access to basic services and livelihood opportunities. Returnees and IDPs are particularly vulnerable in terms of access to safe shelter/housing, as well as access to land. Women and girls face specific protection risks and youth across social groups are particularly vulnerable in terms of livelihoods. In terms of capacities, women and youth have untapped potential to become key change-makers in their society but lack the opportunities and tools to participate meaningfully in decision-making processes. All social, gender and age groups have the capacity to participate in the planning, implementation and monitoring of IOM’s community-based activities, but need to be empowered to do so.

Under this objective, IOM will target:

  • Returnees
  • IDPs
  • Host community members
  • Former combatants and their families
  • Extremely vulnerable persons

Entities targeted include local administration, informal conflict resolution mechanisms, civil society organizations, and the Ministries of Solidarity and Interior.

Community stabilization

Improved security conditions have contributed to the voluntary return of a considerable number of Burundian refugees from neighbouring countries to their communities of origin. However, most areas of return are characterized by a lack of resources and employment opportunities, which can pose a challenge to reintegration and lead to tensions between returnees and host communities. IOM will support community stabilization in areas of return through the provision of Community-Based-Planning platforms such as spaces for community-dialogues for dialogue and peaceful engagement, short-term job opportunities and livelihood support with the aim of fostering socioeconomic stability and social cohesion within communities of return. The activities will include:

  • Community-based initiatives to foster dialogue and peaceful cohabitation between IDPs, returnees and host communities and to improve access to public infrastructure.
  • Cash-for-work and income-generating activities (IGA) activities to support socio-economic stability, with a particular emphasis on vulnerable persons such as women heads of households.
  • Sharing information to identify and demonstrate stability in areas of return. The aim is to understand which factors influence a location's stability in order to identify priority interventions for transition and recovery, with the goal of strengthening resilience and stability in climate change and displacement-affected areas. Discussions are underway with partners to start the first exercise at the end of 2022. Further discussions have been initiated with OCHA to see how this new approach could be used to complement analyses of the impact of climate change in the areas.
  •  Utilization of IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) stability index mechanism.

Durable solutions

The recurring natural hazards and economic hardships in Burundi are causing cycles of protracted internal displacement in the country. Affected populations require support in achieving durable solutions to displacement, whereby they no longer have any specific assistance and protection needs linked to their displacement. IOM will contribute to address the main barriers to achieving durable solutions for IDPs, in particular in terms of adequate standards of living and access to livelihoods. This will be done through a coherent development-oriented approach based on the findings from the Stability Index, including through:

  • Data Collection and analysis on protracted disaster displacement and causes of instability through the stability index exercise to identify potential areas for durable solutions as well as the specific needs in each community.
  • Improvement of access to safe, dignified, and sustainable housing, including through rental support and financial inclusion training.
  • Provision of appropriate, safe, and durable sanitation solutions through the construction of ecological family latrines equipped with hand washing systems.
  • Building local capacities of host community members and displaced populations on safe and DRR techniques.
  • Improvement of access to basic services through the rehabilitation of key community infrastructure, including roads, markets, water points, health centres and schools using a Cash-for-Work modality.
  • Support to IDPs, returnees and host communities to achieve sustainable livelihoods through entrepreneurship and vocational skills trainings and provision of start-up kits or cash grants.
  • Support to the Government of Burundi, including coordination of WG on HLP, in engaging with displaced and local communities on HLP issues and raising awareness on challenges pertaining to land access through community-based sensitization sessions, capacity-building of communal land services, and digitalization of land certificates archives.

Peacebuilding and peace preservation

The context of an ongoing economic crisis, lack of livelihood opportunities, insufficient access to basic services, migration flows, and remaining tensions from previous socio-political crises, make Burundi particularly fragile to recurring conflict and violence at the local level. To decrease the risks of outbreaks of community-level conflict and violence and to foster sustainable development, IOM will support peacebuilding and conflict prevention at the regional, national and community levels in areas affected by displacement by:

  • Strengthening the capacities of relevant local actors, such as local leaders, civil society, women and youth, and informal conflict resolution mechanisms, in conflict prevention, mediation and peaceful resolution.
  • Sensitization activities on conflict resolution and peaceful cohabitation in communities with large numbers of returnees and IDPs.
  • Implementing socio-cultural activities including theatres, traditional dancing and singing, and friendly competitions to foster trust and social ties between different social groups including returnees, IDPs and host community members.
  • Facilitating regional harmonization of Disarmament, Demobilization, Repatriation, Reintegration, and Resettlement (DDR/RR) structures, policies, and mechanisms, and strengthening the conceptualization and operationalization of national and community-based DDR/RR approaches.
  • Facilitating the reintegration of ex-combatants through dialogues, capacity building, awareness raising and inclusive reparations and cultural activities to prepare local authorities and communities for the return of ex-combatants and their families from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Health system strengthening

IOM’s support intends to address the impact of crises resulting in displacement of people by strengthening the limited capacity of Burundi’s health system. The most affected zones will be mapped out and supported with trainings and materials to deliver essential emergency health services. Additionally, health districts most affected by diseases with epidemic potential will be supported to strengthen community surveillance of communicable diseases. New technologies will be utilized to improve disease surveillance by delocalizing emergency operators in cross-border health districts. The following activities will be implemented:

  • Support to five emergency operation centres in cross-border provinces with the provision of information technology equipment, internet connections and other logistical support for early detection and response to diseases with public health concerns.
  • Advanced public health emergency management training, including cross-border disease surveillance and outbreak response, with cross-border emergency response simulations, and exercises with border countries for health workers and other first responders.
  • Establish cross-border public health emergency management committees with neighbouring countries.
  • Organize cross-border coordination meetings with neighbouring countries.
  • Organize two cross-border trainings on cross-border disease surveillance for health workers from cross-border localities involving health-care providers from Burundi and its neighbouring countries.  
  • Organize the mapping of public health risks in targeted provinces.
  • Rehabilitate PoEs to comply with infection, prevention and control (IPC) standards and limit disease transmission in PoEs;
  • Provide monthly basic equipment, such as disinfectants, soap and PPE, to PoEs to meet the standards of prevention and control of infections.
  • Train and equip community health workers from cross-border health districts to effectively engage in community event-based surveillance (CEBS).
  • Provide technical and financial support to Health Districts representatives to provide monthly training supervision to the CHWs and conduct investigations of suspected cases.
