Context Under the direct supervision of the Chief of Mission to Nigeria, in coordination with relevant regional thematic specialists and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Liaison Officer, the Senior Programme Manager (FMM II) will be responsible for the overall coordination and management of the Phase II of the European Union (EU) - funded Programme “Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa (FMM II)”. The overall objective of the proposed intervention is to maximize the development potential of free movement of persons and safe, orderly and regular migration within ECOWAS in the context of the regional integration process. Previous EU support towards the implementation of ECOWAS migration related policies and frameworks was instrumental in improving migration governance in the region. This second Phase of the FMM programme will build on the success of the previous output for migration governance at regional and national level, with the inclusion of civil society, through a multi- stakeholder consortium implementation modality, comprised of the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), under the lead of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The programme will be implemented at regional, national and local levels, with the main objective of effectively implementing the ECOWAS Free Movement Protocol and the ECOWAS Common Approach on Migration. This five-year programme aims to maximize the development potential of free movement of persons and migration in West Africa by supporting the effective implementation of relevant ECOWAS frameworks.

Responsibilities
