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.

Organizational Context and Scope The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the UN Migration Agency. With 175 member states it is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. Established in 1951 and now active in over 400 field locations worldwide, IOM works with partners, government and civil society to: 1. Assist in meeting the operational challenges of migration and human mobility; 2. Advance understanding of migration issues; 3. Encourage social and economic development through migration; and 4. Uphold the human dignity and well-being of migrants and mobile populations. IOM has been working on migration, environment, climate change and disaster risk reduction (MECR) for over 30 years. IOM’s Migration, Environment, Climate Change and Risk Reduction activities bolster local and national initiatives to prevent and prepare for disasters and related population movements, provide emergency assistance and protection where displacement cannot be avoided, and foster post-disaster recovery solutions and resilience-building. In line with the IOM Institutional Strategy on Migration, Environment and Climate Change 2021-2030, the Organization pursues three broad objectives in managing environmental migration, intervening at each stage of the migration cycle: 1. “Solutions for people to move” - Managing migration in the context of climate change, environmental degradation, and disasters due to natural hazards. 2. “Solutions for people on the move” - Assisting and protecting migrants and displaced persons in the context of climate change, environmental degradation, and disasters due to natural hazards. 3. “Solutions for people to stay” - Making migration a choice by building resilience and addressing the adverse climatic and environmental drivers that compel people to move. The Regional Responses to Climate Displacements in Sub-Saharan Africa (RE2CLID) project aims to enhance the resilience and self-reliance of Displacement-Affected Communities (DACs) in Sub-Saharan Africa who face the risks of disasters, the adverse effects of climate change and environmental degradation. This initiative targets the highly vulnerable displacement affected communities in Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean Countries, namely Malawi, Mozambique, Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius and Seychelles (i.e. Cluster 2). The programme employs an area-based approach focusing on averting displacement, minimizing displacement impacts, and resolving existing displacement situations. It emphasizes gender-responsive disaster forecasts and management systems, sustainable natural resources governance, and enhancing the resilience and self-reliance of DACs to reach durable solutions. Key activities include strengthening early warning systems, promoting sustainable land use and natural resource management, and integrating DACs into national and local disaster response frameworks. By addressing the root causes of climate-induced displacement and fostering inclusive, climate-resilient solutions, RE2CLID aims to reduce vulnerability and enhance long-term sustainability in affected communities. This initiative is aligned with regional and international frameworks, including the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and the Global Compact for Migration and Refugees. Under the overall supervision of the Malawi Chief of Mission and the direct supervision of the Programme Coordinator (Southern Africa and Indian Ocean), and in close coordination with relevant parties, especially the DTM support teams in the regional office and headquarters, and the IOM team in country, the Project Officer (Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM)) will be responsible for supporting all aspects of the DTM programmatic coordination, implementation and monitoring in Malawi.
