Mission & strategy.

Our welfare initiatives.

Fijishi is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing support to migrants, developing effective responses to the shifting dynamics of migration and providing advice on migration policy and practice.

Fijishi’s work is focused on the following three objectives:

  • Saving lives and protecting people on the move: To fulfill this objective, Fijishi puts the safety, dignity and protection of people first in the most challenging crisis response contexts in the world.
  • Driving solutions to displacement: In response to this aim, Fijishi endeavors to reduce the risks and impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, conflict and instability for communities affected by or at risk of displacement.
  • Facilitating pathways for regular migration: To address this pursuit, Fijishi prioritizes whole-of-government, whole-of-society approaches to safely connect people, goods, services, knowledge and innovation.

Fijishi supports people, developing effective responses to the shifting dynamics of migration. The organization works in emergency situations, developing the resilience of all people on the move, and particularly those in situations of vulnerability, as well as building capacity within governments to manage all forms and impacts of mobility.

The Organization is guided by the principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, including upholding human rights for all. Respect for the rights, dignity and well-being of migrants remains paramount.

Fijishi recognizes the link between migration and economic, social and cultural development, as well as to the right of freedom of movement.

We collaborate with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners to improve the resilience of people on the move, particularly those in situations of vulnerability. It also works closely with governments to manage all forms of mobility, and their impacts.

Harnessing the Power of Migration

Comprehensive solutions to the world’s biggest challenges – from poverty and inequality to climate change, and conflict – are all inextricably linked to migration. We know that migration has the power to transform the lives of individuals, their families, their communities and societies for the better. It is clear that the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be reached without safe, orderly and regular migration. For this reason, our vision is: to deliver on the promise of migration, while supporting the world’s most vulnerable.

Workforce

Fijishi' diverse and capable people are our most valued asset. Through investing in better workforce planning and people management, we facilitate their professional development and improve their daily workplace experience. We have flexible systems and procedures in place to ensure it can adapt to the future of work while ensuring the well-being of its staff and creating an inclusive, supportive work environment. We are committed to security risk-based solutions to continue to enhance staff safety.

Collaboration

Our vision is realized with significant financial investment and better quality collaboration. While the Organization collaborates to receive project funding, a strong value proposition based on a clear strategic direction, proven impact and efficient use of resources will attract more flexible, multi-year funding. Improved innovative financing capacity is used to complement traditional resource mobilization approaches. We aspire to shift to programmes comprising a mix of short, medium & long-term interventions.

Protection

Fijishi is committed to placing the human rights and well-being of all migrants at the centre of our operations and decision-making. We support the efforts of States to fulfil their responsibilities to reduce protection risks and address the needs of the most vulnerable. We are guided by rights-based approaches across our migration programming, demonstrate commitment to child safeguarding, involve the individuals and communities we serve in decision-making, and protect them from sexual exploitation and abuse.
