internal

out-migration
from the

necessitate the
continuation of
the delivery of
support to final
beneficiaries
who are
individuals,
both nationals
and
non-nationals of
Azerbaijan, in
need of care and
concern.
IOM, with the
support of its

Azerbaijan which
focus on the key
areas of
prevention,
prosecution,
protection and
reintegration of
actual and
potential
victims of

well as
partnership
building among
the civil
society
organizations
and between
governments at
the national and
international
levels.
