Amy Pope

Director General of @UNmigration (IOM). We work to promote safe, orderly, and regular migration.

Today, I met with Lesotho’s Minister of Labor and Employment, Ts’eliso Mokhosi.

Well‑managed labor mobility and effective border systems help protect dignity and expand opportunity.

IOM values our partnership with Lesotho as we advance practical solutions.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Environmental shocks are influencing mobility worldwide.

The answer is humane, well‑managed systems - built with governments and communities through planning and partnership, including safe, regular pathways where needed.

Jeffrey Bruney left Dominica to learn – and came home to transform it.

Today, his farm produces coconut water, turns waste into fertilizer, and creates jobs for migrant workers.

This is migration done right: knowledge gained, and community strengthened.

Border closures don't stop Ebola. They drive movement underground – out of sight, unscreened, untracked.

With cases now confirmed in both DRC and Uganda, we need cross‑border coordination for an effective response. Resources must match the urgency.

Thank you to Nepal for supporting @UNmigration’s #ResilienceCampaign. 💙

Your contribution helps keep essential migration systems working—supporting coordination, data, preparedness, and accountability for effective responses.

Sophorn fled her village as violence spread across the border.

Today, at a pagoda in Cambodia, she shares her tent with an elderly neighbor who has no one.

Around them, more than 800 families hold each other up. Even in displacement, community endures.

Thank you, Cindy, for leading @WFP with care and commitment.

Your work helped make sure people had food in times of crisis and supported families forced to leave their homes.

This work matters deeply to @UNmigration and to our shared goal of helping people live with dignity.

🧵Today marks my last day at @WFP—and the end of one of the most pivotal chapters of my life.

In three years, we raised $25B to save and change millions of lives. From conflicts to climate shocks, the forces driving hunger have never been more relentless.

And yet, we delivered:

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

I’ve stood in places where a tent meant survival. Where four walls meant hope.

120 million people are displaced today. Since 2020, we’ve helped 53.9 million rebuild with shelter and support.

Because everyone deserves a safe place to begin again. #ShelterFirst

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Yo spent nearly 30 years without citizenship – invisible to a system that should have seen him.

Today, he works with IOM collecting data to strengthen services for others.

This is what it looks like when we invest in people.

The Netherlands is helping drive practical cooperation on migration at a challenging moment.

On Syria, progress depends on careful, people‑centred approaches that reflect realities on the ground.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Seventy‑five years of partnership matter—especially when people need solutions.

Today, I met with @MinisterAenM and @ministerBHOS to reaffirm the Netherlands’ vital partnership with @UNmigration and its leadership in advancing humane, effective migration governance worldwide.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Grateful to meet Swiss partners from @SEMIGRATION, @SwissMFA, @SwissDevCoop and @SECO_CH in Bern.

The partnership with @UNmigration helps turn migration policy into practical, protection‑centred solutions.

A shared responsibility with real impact.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

From Geneva to the field, Switzerland’s partnership with @UNmigration makes a difference.

Thankful for the support that helps translate migration policy into practical solutions for people and communities.

[SEM @SEMIGRATION]

State Secretary Mascioli received Director General @AmyEPope today. Switzerland and IOM @UNmigration share a close cooperation on migration, particularly in the areas of return and reintegration. The organization is also headquartered in Geneva.

[SwitzerlandUN @swiss_un]

In Berne today, @IOMchief signed an agreement with @EDA_DFAE.

As Host State, 🇨🇭 assists the International Organization for Migration @UNmigration during its move towards its renovated HQ building in #Geneva... as part of its support for people on the move.

#EidMubarak to all those celebrating.

May this special occasion inspire peace, al-Adhaity, and hope in displaced communities and across the world.

Wishing you a joyful and blessed Eid al-Adha.

Seoul is a reminder that innovation and partnership go together.

Grateful to the Republic of Korea for its support of @UNMigration - and for hosting the Global AI Hub to ensure responsible AI helps protect people before crisis hits. 🇰🇷

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Too often, we arrive after families have already lost everything.

AI, used well, can help us anticipate risk, share information, and act sooner.

That’s why the Global AI Hub is an important step forward.

Glad to be in Seoul for the Global AI Hub Vision Declaration Ceremony and to meet PM Kim @ms2030 alongside @UN and partners.

Together, we reaffirmed our commitment to using AI and innovation to address global challenges and advance inclusive, human-centered development.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

Had an insightful discussion with 🇰🇷 National Assembly Speaker @chojs21, MP @chajiho11956.

As humanitarian and displacement challenges grow more complex, Korea’s engagement - including through the Global AI Hub - supports practical, people‑centred solutions.

[Amy Pope @IOMchief]

In Lebanon, displacement and humanitarian needs remain high.

Thank you to our donors and partners, including flexible funding supporters, for working with @UNmigration to deliver practical assistance and protection, guided by dignity and shared responsibility.
