Activity Type AI Tools/SolutionsMongolia Cyber-Crime Investigations: Mongolia's first AI training to fight trafficking online
Asia and the Pacific MongoliaA year-long project to equip Mongolian law-enforcement officials with AI-based and open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques to investigate human-trafficking cases in the digital era. Launched in July 2023 in collaboration with the Bali Process Regional Support Office (RSO) and the Coordination Council of Crimes Prevention of Mongolia, and supported by the IOM Development Fund, the project delivered the first artificial-intelligence-based cyber-crime investigation training to law enforcement in Mongolia. Through a unique multi-workshop format, the same officers from six law-enforcement and intelligence agencies built skills across three OSINT sessions over six months (Jan–Jun 2024), covering search-engine techniques, officer privacy and safety, digital-footprint analysis, semi-automated and automated data scraping, and the use of AI-generated tools (e.g. ChatGPT), with each technique applied to trafficking-in-persons case studies. The work responds to traffickers' growing misuse of social media, dating apps and false job advertisements, and aligns with Mongolia's Vision-2050 and Digital Nation strategies and the IOM Strategic Plan's emphasis on protecting migrants through evidence-based, innovative solutions.
Activity Type Trainings/WorkshopsTechnical AssistanceDonor Intelligence Platform
Global EgyptDonor Intelligence is IOM's AI-powered platform for understanding, researching, and engaging the organization's most strategic funding partners. Rather than spending hours manually searching donor websites, reading annual reports, and cross-referencing funding databases, IOM staff can generate a comprehensive donor intelligence report in minutes — covering a partner's political context, ODA priorities, thematic and geographic focus, funding history, and IOM engagement opportunities. At its core, the platform combines live internet research (via Bing-grounded AI agents), internal knowledge bases, and uploaded documents into a single, structured workflow. Users can generate full donor reports, run focused partner profile research, adapt existing profiles with the latest findings, and export polished PowerPoint briefings — all without leaving the platform. Every report is a living document. Staff can refine individual sections through conversational AI, ask follow-up questions directly in the report view, and track the full revision history. A searchable community report bank means that insights built by one team are immediately available to colleagues across the organization, eliminating duplicated research effort. The platform is built around IOM's operational reality: multi-instance Azure deployment, role-based access, and a document management layer that lets users ground AI answers in their own uploaded materials — concept notes, strategy papers, meeting records — so responses are specific to IOM's actual relationship with each donor, not just publicly available information. The result is a faster, more consistent, and more strategically informed approach to donor engagement — giving IOM's resource mobilization teams the preparation depth of a dedicated research unit, at the speed the organization needs.
