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 and internal-equivalent candidates [https://www.iom.int/resources/iom-candidate-tier-systems] are considered as first-tier candidates. Organizational Context and Scope IOM has been operational in Papua New Guinea (PNG) since 2001, supporting the Government and communities in addressing a wide range of migration and mobility-related challenges. Guided by IOM’s Strategic Vision and aligned with national priorities, IOM’s programming spans all four pillars of its global Strategic Results Framework: saving lives and protecting people on the move; driving solutions to displacement; facilitating safe pathways for regular migration; and strengthening migration governance. Operating from its head office in Port Moresby and through decentralized field offices across the country, IOM in PNG implements integrated programming in disaster risk reduction and emergency response; climate change and human mobility; counter-trafficking and protection of vulnerable migrants; migration health; community stabilization and durable solutions; border and migration management; and assisted voluntary return and reintegration. IOM also plays a key role in supporting government-led efforts to improve migration data, enhance institutional capacity, and ensure whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches to safe, regular, and inclusive migration governance. Under the overall supervision of the Emergency Management and Peacebuilding Coordinator and the direct supervision of the National Project Officer-Resilience Building in Port Moresby, the incumbent will support the implementation of disaster risk reduction (DRR), disaster risk management (DRM), emergency preparedness and response, and community stabilisation initiatives across target locations. The role will provide day-to-day technical and operational support for the effective, timely, and high-quality delivery of programme activities, working closely with communities, local authorities, and partner organisations. The incumbent will contribute to risk-informed programming and community-based resilience approaches, with a strong focus on quality assurance, accountability, and adaptive implementation. Through this work, the position supports IOM’s broader efforts to enhance community resilience and address underlying drivers of conflict, vulnerability, and displacement in Papua New Guinea
