Organizational Context and Scope Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) is one of the core areas of IOM expertise, and a field in which the organization has over 40 years of experience. IOM USA works with the US Department of State to provide eligible beneficiaries, both in the United States and in third countries, with their access to assisted voluntary return to their countries of origin or of legal status in a safe and dignified manner. In addition to travel arrangements, IOM’s assistance may include counselling of voluntary returnees, acquisition of travel documents, provision of medical or other escorts, departure, transit and arrival assistance. The PRM funded-Global Assisted Voluntary Return (AVR) Program aims to provide migrants with irregular status in the United States and in third countries (as in the case of Eswatini) access to assisted voluntary return to their countries of origin or legal status in a safe and dignified manner. Under the overall supervision of the Senior Program Advisor, the direct supervision of the Protection Coordinator, the technical supervision of the Head of the Global MHPSS-CI Unit in HQ, and the Senior Migration Health Advisor, the MHPSS Response Officer (AVR) will have the following duties and responsibilities.
