The Chief of Staff of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Mr. Abdiker Mohamed, today paid a courtesy call on the Principal Secretary, Dr. Belio Kipsang, to discuss the outcomes of the Second International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) 2026 and strengthen collaboration on migration governance.

Mr. Mohamed commended Kenya’s leadership in migration management, citing its progressive policies, commitment to refugee hosting, implementation of the Shirika Plan, and strong partnership with IOM. Discussions highlighted the need for robust frameworks to regulate labour migration, protect Kenyan workers abroad, and promote fair labour standards and stronger safeguards for migrant workers across the East African region.

Dr. Kipsang reaffirmed Kenya’s commitment to regional and global migration initiatives, emphasizing the importance of integrated migration data systems to improve coordination, support evidence-based policymaking, and enhance migration management.

Director General for Immigration and Citizen Services, Madam Evelyn Cheluget, alongside officers from NCM, briefed the meeting on the Global Compact for Migration review process and the adoption of the IMRF 2026 Progress Declaration, which reaffirmed global commitments to safe, orderly, and regular migration.

Mr. Mohamed was accompanied by IOM Head of Mission Ms. Namayugu and Programme Officer Mr. Ethan Way. The meeting reaffirmed the shared commitment between Kenya and IOM to advance effective migration governance, protect migrant rights, and maximize the developmental benefits of migration.

Migration is an age-old tradition that presents both opportunities that need harnessing and challenges that require mitigation to realize its full potential especially in economic development. Join NCM Kenya on 13/12/2024 as we commemorate the International Migrants Day.

Climate change related disasters have a huge impact on mobility in Kenya requiring frequent tracking, yet there exists a huge data gap in this regard. The operationalization of The Data Tracking Matrix-DTM by @IOMKenya in coordination with @NDMA_Kenya , @KenyaNcm bridges this gap
