Context Since 2017, IOM Côte d'Ivoire has been providing support to the Government of Côte d'Ivoire to develop and to address border governance, border management, and security challenges comprehensively. Aligned with IOM's Strategic Plan for 2024-2028, the African Union's Strategy for Integrated Border Governance (2020), and the National Development Plan of Cote d’Ivoire, International Organization for Migration’s (IOM’s) Immigration and Border Governance (IBG) programming aims to assist the government of Côte d'Ivoire in leveraging the beneficial potential of borders as conduits for promoting peace, security, and stability, and enhancing integration through effective border governance. This approach also facilitates safe and secure cross-border movements while ensuring that border communities are engaged in border governance processes, thereby enhancing human security. The emphasis on border governance underscores IOM's dedication to sustainable development by demonstrating how well-managed mobility, immigration, and border management contribute to peace, security, and regional integration, provide access to legal identity, strengthen regular migration pathways, and facilitate trade. In accordance with the 2030 Agenda, the IBG programs implemented in Cote d’Ivoire act as catalysts for sustainable development and inclusive growth by considering how immigration and border governance can influence and shape development outcomes for migrants and border communities and foster sustainable integration of migrants into the socio-economic frameworks of destination countries. To continue supporting the Governments of Côte d’Ivoire, IOM Côte d'Ivoire will boost its programming to strengthen national capacities to respond to emerging cross-border threats that impact on security and stability in northern border regions and reinforce community resilience. Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) and direct supervision of the IBG Programme Manager (PM), the Programme Support Officer (Immigration and Border Governance (IBG)) will be responsible for providing technical, administrative, and process-related support for the management of the different projects and interventions of the IBG portfolio funded by several donors.
