Description

Applications are welcome from internal and external candidates. For all IOM vacancies, applications from qualified and eligible first-tier candidates are considered before those of qualified and eligible second-tier candidates in the selection process. For the purpose of this vacancy, internal candidates are considered first-tier candidates. Context: Brief definition of the organizational context, reporting lines and scope, for example: Since 2006, IOM has been the primary intergovernmental organization dedicated to migration in the country. It operates from offices in Beirut, North Lebanon (Tripoli), the Beqaa Valley (Chtoura), the South (Tyre), and Mount Lebanon. IOM in Lebanon has a strong record in providing humanitarian assistance to populations affected by crises, while collaborating with government counterparts to support long-term recovery efforts and enhance migration governance in the country. Lebanon’s crisis has led to a sharp rise in poverty and the collapse of basic services, disproportionately impacting vulnerable groups such as refugees, IDPs, and migrants as well as disadvantaged Lebanese citizen. In this context, there is a pressing need to work across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus, providing preparedness and emergency response capacities, including cash based assistance for sudden on-set crises while improving the livelihoods of vulnerable populations to promote economic resilience while ensuring that the activity appropriately matches skilled labour supply with the existing and urgent demand for skilled workers in Lebanon and abroad, and foster community stability to facilitate an enabling environment supporting the revitalization of local economies in areas prone to inter- and intra-communal tensions, internal displacement, and irregular migration. Under the overall supervision of the ERR Senior Programme Manager in Lebanon and direct supervision of the ERR programme officer, the successful candidate will be responsible and accountable for the support in the implementation of emergency recovery and resilience projects in Beirut & Mount Lebanon and the South under the ERR unit at IOM Lebanon.
