Organizational Context and Scope The International Organization for Migration (IOM) In South Sudan operates in protracted displacement sites, transit centres, informal settlements, and areas of return and relocation to provide specialized protection assistance. IOM’s overarching goal on protection is to place the rights and well-being of migrants, including Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returnees, regardless of their status, at the center of its operations. This means ensuring the protection of migrants across the full spectrum of migration management and governance. IOM uses a rights-based approach to identify and address needs in humanitarian and transition and development contexts, seeking to secure individual and group rights and to create a society in which these rights are recognized and upheld. Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission, and direct supervision of the Emergency Coordinator, the Programme Coordinator (Protection) will be responsible for the management, implementation, coordination, and monitoring of IOM Country Office’s (CO) protection, MHPSS, and migrant protection and resettlement projects and activities, including but not limited to core protection and MHPSS activities and support in IDP camps, informal sites and areas of return, and resettlement. Programme Coordinator (Protection) will ensure coordination and synergies with concurrent protection programming in the country and will contribute to protection mainstreaming across the mission. In doing so, they will work in close collaboration with the Protection Cluster, relevant protection-related working groups, the government counterparts and its provincial and district authorities. In addition, they will support the Country Office through the provision of protection mainstreaming expertise to other units, including a focus on Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP).
