The Migrant Response Plan (MRP) for the Horn of Africa and Yemen is a migrant-focused humanitarian and development response strategy for vulnerable migrants from the Horn of Africa traveling along the Eastern Route.2 The MRP’s objectives are to ensure protection assistance to vulnerable migrants in the Horn of Africa, support durable and development-oriented approaches to return and sustainable reintegration, strengthen
the protection of migrants in the Horn of Africa by building capacities of governments, and analyse trends of migration between the Horn of Africa and Yemen. The EU-IOM Joint Initiative (JI) for Migrant Protection and Reintegration3 through the contribution of the
Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF) is contributing to the MRP framework. The JI is a comprehensive programme to save lives, protect and assist migrants along key migration routes in Africa. The Programme enables migrants who decide to return to their countries of origin to do so in a safe and dignified way. In close cooperation with partnering state and non-state actors, the programme provides assistance to returning migrants
to help them restart their lives in their countries of origin through an integrated approach to reintegration.
