Legal Identity Program Promoting Social Inclusion in Mozambique

IOM 2023 / Amanda Nero

IOM Mozambique's Legal Identity program works to ensure that vulnerable populations, including displaced persons and host communities, have access to essential identification documents. Through collaboration with the Mozambican government and local partners, the program aims to improve access to legal identity services, reduce the risks associated with statelessness, and promote social inclusion. By providing documentation like birth certificates and national IDs, the program supports individuals' rights to basic services, economic opportunities, and legal protections, fostering long-term resilience and community integration.
