Summary
In this seven-month project, IOM will provide the Finnish Immigration Service with reliable and objective country of origin information for a selected number of countries and regions (Angola, Afghanistan, Congo DRC, Iran, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Somaliland region of Somalia, the Kosovo Province (Republic of Serbia), and the three northern governorates of Iraq). Based on specific questions formulated by the Finnish Immigration Service, the information will be raised through IOM’s extensive global network of local missions and local knowledge. The project builds on experiences and lessons learned during the COIF pilot project which took place in 2007.
As the central clearing house, the IOM regional office in Helsinki will coordinate the information requests, oversee their collection and provide final editing of the collected information. In addition, IOM will prepare one country fact sheet with comprehensive and easily accessible country of origin information.
The project’s overall aim is to contribute to the effectiveness and integrity of Finland’s immigration system through the provision of factual and tailor-made country of origin information required for sound decision-making and operative planning in migration matters
