The Commonwealth of the Bahamas became a Member State of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) on the 30th of November, 2004.
Since then, IOM in the Bahamas has implemented several projects in various fields, such as emergency response in the wake of Hurricane Dorian in 2019, including the distribution of shelter repair kits and management of shelters, providing essential household items to displaced families, supporting debris removal operations and deploying its Displacement Tracking Matrix to provide accurate information on the needs of the affected population; the establishment of a travel document and fraud detection laboratory in Nassau; and the voluntary return and reintegration of migrants.
