As many Ukrainians lost their jobs because of quickly changing conflict dynamics, IOM facilitated access to remote work by establishing a partnership with the UpWork platform. IOM trained and mentored 69 war-affected persons with the basic skills needed to find online job opportunities. Eighteen of these people were trained and mentored thanks to Meta. Demand for this program was high, and to meet the need, IOM was able to make subsequent webinars available online and accessible for all who expressed interest.
In February 2023, IOM conducted a diaspora outreach campaign to support Ukrainian freelancers. The campaign, entitled “Hire those who never gave up”, targeted the Ukrainian diaspora in the United States and Canada with a call to hire Ukrainian freelancers. The campaign reached 150,000 people.
Emergency livelihood activities aim to reduce the impact of the war on community and personal well-being. The Meta project had a sustainable, positive impact on wellness, as the capacity of vulnerable individuals was improved through cash interventions, job-preparedness training and mentorship.
