Description

Introduction Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. IOM is committed to ensuring a workplace where all employees can thrive professionally, while working towards harnessing the full potential of migration.

This two-and-a-half-year project is co-funded by the European Union (EU) and aims to contribute to more effective and accountable service delivery that is based on the principles of good governance and respect of rule of law in the areas of migration, asylum, and human rights. Specifically, it will support the enhancement of asylum and migration governance in Armenia to foster well-managed and secure cross-border mobility and continue strengthening migration and asylum systems in Armenia. In 2023, IOM supported the newly established Migration and Citizenship Service (MCS) with conducting induction training for all the staff members to ensure effective functioning of the newly formed institution and equip staff members with the necessary knowledge and skills required for their roles. In 2025, IOM supported the MCS with institutionalization of trainings within the permanent training facility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This process involved integration of the curricula into the permanent training structure of the MCS. By doing so, the training became an integral part of the MCS's training framework, ensuring learning continuity and sustainability, as well as evaluation for permanent staff. Building on the previously developed basic training course and the Moodle-based learning system installed for the Migration and Citizenship Service, the next phase of support will focus on developing advanced-level training materials to further strengthen the knowledge and technical capacities of MCS staff. The advanced course will complement the existing basic course and ensure continuous professional development of MCS personnel. The consultant will review relevant legislative developments, Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs), and institutional practices of the MCS to ensure that the advanced training materials reflect the most recent policy and operational framework.
