Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations. Dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all, IOM provides services and advice to governments and migrants. As the leading UN organization in the field of migration, IOM works closely with its governmental, inter-governmental and non-governmental partners on capacity building and advocacy for policy and legislative practices to ensure the protection of migrants. 

Within the framework of the EU funded “Towards a Holistic Approach to Labour Migration Governance and Labour Mobility (THAMM) In Italy And North Africa” (THAMM+) that aims to facilitate the mobility of the newly skilled and trained workforce between targeted North African countries and Italy to meet labour market shortages jointly identified by Moroccan and Tunisian authorities, and the Italian regions (for Mobility Scheme with Morocco). The THAMM+ programme builds on and complements the regional action “Towards a Holistic Approach to Labour Migration Governance and Labour Mobility in North Africa” (THAMM) phase I and II funded by the EU Trust Fund for Africa and phase III funded by NDICI-GE. It will build on lessons learned from the past and on-going actions and be coordinated with other actors present on the ground, such as ILO, GIZ, OFII, ENABEL. 

The “THAMM+” also builds on other actions facilitating skills-based migration including between North African countries and Italy. It will contribute to improving the governance of labour migration and the protection of migrant workers in the North of Africa by supporting the development and implementation of coherent and comprehensive policy frameworks guided by relevant human rights and labour standards and based on reliable data and evidence, which are essential for fair and effective labour migration governance and decent work. In addition, it will contribute to preparing, setting up and implement Skills Mobility Partnerships (IOM Model) in jointly identified sectors (Construction for Tunisia and Mechatronics for Morocco) in an effort to operationalize the EU Talent Partnerships between Italy and Morocco and Tunisia. 
The programme will be implementing in Italy, Morocco and Tunisia that will also be the Managing Mission of the “THAMM+”.
