The International Organization for Migration (IOM) conducts and supports data production and research designed to guide and inform migration policy and practice. The Migration Research Division (MRD) is based at IOM Headquarters within the Department of International Cooperation and Partnerships, and has the institutional responsibility for supporting the conduct and management of applied research on salient migration topics. Research is designed to enhance IOM’s programme delivery and contribute to a broader understanding of migration patterns and processes, as well as the links between migration research and migration policy and practice. Research also feeds directly into IOM’s role as a publisher of applied research findings, including through IOM’s flagship publication, the World Migration Report, papers published in the Migration Research Series, and IOM Migration Profiles. 

The resources in this section highlight the Regional Data Hub (RDH) for the East and Horn of Africa's aim to fill in the existing gaps in strengthening the regional evidence base on migration. The RDH also aims to support evidence-based, strategic and policy-level discussion on migration through a combination of initiatives. 

Included are also resources highlighting IOM's ongoing work in the region through situation reports, newsletters, and a variety of relevant publications.
