Context Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is a Related Organization of the United Nations and the leading UN agency in the field of migration. IOM works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners to promote humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants worldwide. In West and Central Africa, IOM faces a dynamic operating environment and the urgent need to mobilize resource for operations across multiple country offices. To address these challenges and ensure sustainable financing for both humanitarian and development programming, the Regional Office has established a dedicated Resource Mobilization Unit. This Unit is tasked with driving the implementation of the recently approved Regional Resource Mobilization Action Plan, diversifying funding sources, and enhancing engagement with non-traditional donors, private sector actors, and philanthropic partners. Its ultimate goal is to unlock predictable and innovative streams of support that strengthen IOM’s ability to deliver impactful outcomes for migrants and affected communities in the region. The Regional Resource Mobilization Officer will play a pivotal role in operationalizing this strategy. Under the direct supervision of the Regional Director for West and Central Africa, and in close coordination with IOM Headquarters and relevant regional focal points, the Regional Resource Mobilization Officer will lead proactive donor engagement, strategic intelligence gathering, and identification of regional and cross-border funding opportunities. The position will focus on building and managing relationships with institutional, private sector, and philanthropic partners, while advising senior leadership on emerging trends and positioning IOM within an evolving financing landscape. The role also includes strengthening internal capacity for resource mobilization, ensuring coherence with global frameworks, and supporting country offices to meet their funding objectives.
