NGO Partners

How it works

By registering, you help refugees find safe homes while coordinating with IOM and property owners to meet their requirement.

1
Create a profile

Express your interest in becoming an NGO partner on our platform via our form
2
Apply for properties

Once your profile is created and approved by an IOM staff, you can review the information of different refugees and apply for properties based on their requirements.
3
IOM endorses applicants

Send these applications to the IOM staff for review.
4
Landlord reviews applicants sent by IOM

After reviewing the applications, IOM will send the list of potential candidates to the landlord, who decides which applications to accept for their property.
5
Property is rented out

The direct lease agreement is established between the landlord and the refugee.
6
NGOs assess matching experience

NGO can continue to support the refugee and landlord for 6 months after the signing of the contract if necessary, and depending on the NGOs supporting capacity. An evaluation moment, conducted by the NGO after 6 months, will assess the matching experience of the refugee and the landlord

Why join our platform

Free access to our platform

NGOs can use our advanced housing matching tool at no cost, enabling efficient coordination and case management.

Expanded housing opportunities

IOM’s sensitisation campaigns aim to steadily grow the pool of private market housing, giving NGOs more options to match refugees with suitable homes.

National-Level outreach

IOM's extensive campaigns engage landlords across the country, amplifying NGO reach and effectiveness.

Translating local realities into policies

IOM acts as a bridge between policymakers and local actors, facilitating dialogue and ensuring that the policy level is informed by the realities facing NGOs, while also enabling NGOs to access national strategies and best practices.

Strengthened partnerships

Joining this initiative connects NGOs to a coordinated network for collaboration and resource sharing.

Community engagement through volunteers

Volunteers bring fresh energy and skills, helping NGOs scale support and foster solidarity. (Visit our RISE website for more details.)

Empowerment through technology

Streamline processes, reduce administrative burdens, and focus on personalised refugee support.

Visibility and credibility

Participation in an IOM-backed project reinforces NGO credibility and commitment to humanitarian goals aligned with the UN SDGs.
