Organizational Context

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Ethiopia partners with government institutions like the Immigration and Citizenship Service (ICS) and Ethiopian Police University (EPU) to enhance migration governance and public administration. Ethiopia, a key migration hub, faces complex dynamics. ICS manages immigration and border services, while EPU trains law enforcement. Both institutions require systematic assessment of their training needs and capacity development to align with international standards and improve inter-agency cooperation.

This consultancy aims to significantly enhance the institutional training capacities of Ethiopia's Immigration and Citizenship Service (ICS) and Ethiopian Police University (EPU). The role involves conducting comprehensive Training and Capacity Needs Assessments (TCNAs) for both institutions. For ICS, the focus is on developing an institutional training strategy and a competency-based curriculum. For EPU, the objectives include assessing its curriculum, inter-agency cooperation with ICS, and recommending curriculum enrichment and digital learning systems. The ultimate goal is to strengthen training ecosystems, improve service delivery, and ensure alignment with international best practices in migration and law enforcement.

For Lot One (ICS), responsibilities include developing an inception report, conducting a TCNA, creating a training strategy with an implementation roadmap, and designing a competency-based training curriculum package. For Lot Two (EPU), responsibilities involve developing an inception report, conducting a TCNA, assessing inter-agency cooperation with ICS, recommending curriculum enrichment and harmonization, and evaluating and recommending digital learning systems.
