Project Context and Scope

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is implementing the Diaspora Guarantee Facility (DGF) for Safe Shelters, an innovative financing mechanism that leverages diaspora contributions as a guarantee to enable Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) to provide affordable loans for resilient housing and shelter improvements in disaster-prone communities.

The model was piloted in the Philippines through the Resilient Shelter Loan initiative, which demonstrated the viability of using diaspora-backed guarantees to reduce lending risk, improve access to finance for underserved households, and support the construction and retrofitting of safer, climate-resilient shelters. The pilot engaged microfinance institutions, diaspora organizations, local governments, and technical partners in a collaborative ecosystem supporting disaster preparedness and housing resilience.

As IOM seeks to scale and replicate the model in new contexts, including potential expansion to additional countries, a comprehensive feasibility study is required to assess the model's financial sustainability, operational requirements, governance structure, legal and regulatory considerations, market demand, and scalability.
