BACKGROUND Experiences associated with irregular migration through the Central Mediterranean route from Nigeria through North Africa to Europe often exert great mental strain on migrants. This route proves extremely dangerous as migrants often struggle to cope with stressors associated with the hazardous journey and return to their communities of origin, amidst limited resources, stripped off familiar social safety nets, and other deprivations, torture and human rights violations. Upon their return, returned migrants also face other challenges and stressful experiences which need to be addressed if their re-integration is to be sustainable. Incorporating Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) components into IOM activities is part of the integrated approach to ensure sustainable and comprehensive reintegration of returning migrants by ensuring their psychological needs are also met. However, there is currently limited access to mental health and psycho-social support rehabilitation services in areas of high returns and this creates a challenge in reintegrating returnees in a sustainable manner. With support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), IOM is implementing several programs aiming to improve the reintegration of returnees through providing protection and assistance to vulnerable and stranded migrants, including voluntary return and support for sustainable reintegration in the communities of origin.

Within this framework, IOM is seeking to support relevant stakeholders and civil societies providing MHPSS rehabilitation services for returned migrants with mental health needs. This partnership seeks to strengthen the technical and material capacities of partners in provision of community based MHPSS rehabilitation services to returned migrants and in turn enable such partners organize and deliver activities as well as implement MHPSS related policies and programmes at community level.
