Reintegration of Rwandan Returnees

Reintegration plays an essential part of return migration as it empowers and protects returnees by providing them with necessary tools and assistance for their reinsertion into the society and their country of origin, while general contributing to the sustainability of return.  

From 2010-2015, IOM Rwanda, in close coordination with the Government of Rwanda, assisted more than 8,000 Rwandan returnees from neighbouring countries, especially the Democratic Republic of Congo, through different socioeconomic reintegration projects.
