<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;, sans-serif">&nbsp;IOM will provide AVRR assistance to migrants in situations of vulnerability, expressing the will to return to their country of origin and to contribute to their sustainable reintegration. Namely, the targeted population will consist of 200 migrants in situations of vulnerability. More specifically, 80 individual migrants in a situation of vulnerability and 40 families with average 3 members in a vulnerable situation will receive tailored/personalized return and reintegration support. &nbsp;Potential beneficiaries may include migrants with health needs, UMC and/or separated children, elderly persons (+65), victims of trafficking, pregnant women, families and beneficiaries with other types of vulnerability. Within the scope of this project, IOM will define as “families” the nuclear families, married couples, single parent families, single headed families, siblings, UMC/separated&nbsp; children with legal guardian if other than parents and/or other close relatives opting for AVRR.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;, sans-serif">In the framework of the project, beneficiaries will be able to receive pre-departure counselling to better prepare their return and reintegration, support on the issuance of travel documents, travel assistance at departure transit and upon arrival as needed as well as a cash grant to address their basic needs upon arrival in the country of origin.</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Gill Sans MT&quot;, sans-serif">Through the pre-departure counselling each project beneficiary will develop an individual plan to enhance his/her reintegration opportunities in the country of origin. Those individual plans will be developed in collaboration with the IOM offices in countries of origin and supported through in-kind reintegration assistance so that beneficiaries can establish income generation activities including startup of microbusiness and/or vocational training, temporary accommodation, medical support, schooling needs.</span></span></span></span></p>
