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.

Effective migration governance at the local level requires functional coordination mechanisms that bring together government institutions, technical departments, civil society actors, and other relevant stakeholders. To this end, Local Technical Committees (LTCs) have been established at four local pilot areas within the decentralized planning system to support migration management, migrant protection, labour migration governance, ethical recruitment, and referral pathways at the local level. Through ATUU project support, the LTCs have been formally established and provided with initial capacity-building and technical training. However, the sustainability and effectiveness of these structures depend on consistent technical coordination, systematic follow-up on decisions, proper documentation, and strong linkages with national migration management approaches. To this end, the successful candidate will coordinate the LTC secretariate to support the management of migration at the four selected MMDAs, working with relevant departments and members of the LTC. This consultancy will provide hands-on technical, coordination, and operational support to the LTC secretariate to ensure its effective functioning and contribution to improved migration management outcomes at the local level. The assignment will be implemented under the coordination of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in close collaboration with the four pilot Metropolitan Assemblies, and other relevant government counterparts and stakeholders.
