The workshop included discussions on innovative border and identity management solutions, as well as airport security during the COVID-19 pandemic. In commemoration of World AIDS Day on 01 December 2020, IOM continues to advocate for universal health coverage for displaced persons and migrants. The IOM Regional Office for the MENA is facilitating engagement with local stakeholders within its Integrated Border Management (IBM) programming by translating and disseminating relevant guidance tools into Arabic and French. The effort is part of its regional COVID-19 response activities. These tools, developed by IOM and UN partner agencies, aim to improve the rights-based, genderresponsive, and technical approach to the COVID-19 response at Points of Entry (PoE).
