Technical Support to Improve Border Management Controls in Zimbabwe

The Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) has identified as a priority the improvement of its border management systems and has requested the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to assist in building its capacities. With increasing migration movements in the region, including significant irregular migration and elements of human trafficking and smuggling, the improvement of border management, including the documentation of international entries and exits, has become a high priority. IOM will assist the GoZ to improve migration management through an expert assessment of needs at 4 selected border posts as well as at the Immigration Headquarters, and support the implementation of a pilot data system at Harare International Airport, with linkages to the Immigration Headquarters offices in Harare. User training on the system and its overall management will also be provided.
