Description

Project Context and Scope As part of IOM’s Migration Management mandate, the Community Stabilization Unit (CSU) contributes to preventing and addressing the root causes of instability and irregular migration in Somalia. Through initiatives such as the Rapid Stabilization Support and Early Recovery Initiative project, CSU supports the stabilization of conflict-affected areas by enhancing safety and security governance, fostering inclusive local structures, and facilitating community engagement. The CSSF represents one of the three programmatic areas encompassed by the Rapid Stabilization Support and Early Recovery Initiative project (CS.1278). The project is co-funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and has a duration of 24 months. The project has the objective to contribute to stability and peace through an integrated stabilization package that provides a contextually appropriate bridge to longer-term development interventions, with an exit strategy defined in conjunction with government and civil society counterparts. The project strives to achieve this objective by leveraging three integrated yet distinct programmatic models, including the CSSF, which is a locally driven, participatory mechanism that brings together state and community actors to identify, prevent, and address security challenges while building trust, institutional legitimacy, and social cohesion. As the CSSF enters a critical phase of institutionalization and potential scale-up, IOM seeks to hire a Strategy Consultant to support the development and refinement of strategic and operational frameworks that will guide its effective implementation and long-term sustainability, in accordance with relevant governance structures and strategic framework, and contributing to address critical gaps and needs being identified during the UNTMIS transition process. Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing Transition & Recovery Pillar, Community Stabilization Unit – Rapid Stabilization Support and Early Recovery Initiative project (CS.1278).
