Gaziantep- Turkey

Deadline of Applications:

25 October 2019

Number of Vacant Positions:

1

General Functions:

IOM is the only international inter-governmental agency with a specific mandate for migration and is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing technical expertise to governments, migrants and host communities through a wide range of sustainable solutions contributing to end forced migration and/or improve displacement conditions. IOM also has a leading role in the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, participates in coordinated humanitarian responses, and engages in inter-agency collaboration to meet the needs of affected-persons and contribute to their protection.

 

As a member of the UN Humanitarian Country Team in Syria and all concerned neighbouring countries (Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey), the IOM Director General has activated the L3 Emergency SOPs to enhance organizational humanitarian assistance and priorities related to IDPs, refugees and returnees, and is actively participating in the emergency response within this rapidly changing humanitarian context. Security Council Resolution 2449 will supersede earlier adopted SCR 2191 and 2165, allowing UN and its partners to provide cross border assistance from Turkey to Northern Syria in 2019.

 

Per HNAP Demographic Survey (July 2018), over 6 million individuals (31% of Syria’s total population) are internally displaced persons (IDPs). Approximately 32% of Syrian IDPs are currently residing in Aleppo (18% of total IDP population) and Idleb governorate (14% of total IDP population). The first half of 2018 was marked by significant military operations by the Government of Syria, and changes in control of large parts of Syria, which resulted in displacements from previously besieged enclaves and opposition-held areas (such as Eastern Ghouta, Northern Homs, Dara’a, and Q’neitra) to the remaining de-escalation zone in Northwest Syria. These additional IDPs put strain on already overstretched IDP hosting capacity in these areas.

 

Under the overall supervision of the Senior Programme Coordinator and the direct supervision of the Project Officer (CCCM), the candidate will provide assistance in the implementation of the cross-border Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) program activities, especially the Reception Centers Management project and the Site Management Support Team project, in partnership with sub-implementing partners.
