Immigration and Border Management

For over a decade, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been at the forefront of enhancing border management in Georgia. Through its Immigration and Border Governance programme, IOM supports the Government of Georgia in creating robust policies, developing legal and institutional frameworks, and implementing operational capacities to address diverse migration challenges. This comprehensive cooperation has contributed to the development of Georgia’s capabilities to effectively manage borders and foster the legitimate movement of people and goods.

IOM’s efforts in Georgia focus on three main areas: institutional support and policy development, staff capacity building, and the procurement of advanced equipment and infrastructure. By raising the skills and competencies of border officials and equipping them with sophisticated tools and technologies, IOM has significantly contributed to enhancing border security and combating irregular migration and transnational crime. This long-standing partnership with Georgia’s border management authorities underscores IOM’s commitment to fostering secure and well-managed borders, ensuring the country is well-prepared to meet current and future migration challenges.
