Organizational Context

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), with EU funding, supports the 'Strengthened Service Delivery Systems for Improved Migration Management and Sustainable Reintegration' project. This role facilitates multi-stakeholder consultations across eight divisions and at the national level to inform and develop an inclusive action plan for the National Action Plan (NAP) for Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM).

Job Purpose

The purpose of this role is to facilitate structured, multi-stakeholder consultations at both divisional and national levels, as part of the IOM-EU funded project 'Strengthened Service Delivery Systems for Improved Migration Management and Sustainable Reintegration'. Divisional consultations will gather inputs from migrant communities, aspirant and returnee migrants, their families, government, and CSOs to inform evidence-based, locally relevant operational strategies and ensure local voices are heard. Building on these divisional outcomes, the national consultation will engage policymakers to develop an inclusive action plan. This action plan is crucial for the effective operationalization and implementation of the relevant objectives of the National Action Plan (NAP) for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), thereby contributing to improved migration management.

This requires effective coordination with various local stakeholders to ensure smooth execution and productive discussions. Following each workshop, the Facilitator must produce concise and accurate summary reports within ten days, documenting key findings, discussions, and emerging recommendations from each divisional consultation. Additionally, the role involves facilitating a crucial national-level consultation, bringing together policymakers and other high-level stakeholders. Post-event, the Facilitator is responsible for preparing a comprehensive event report within ten days, which must clearly identify and articulate at least five priority areas for intervention. These priorities will be crucial for the operationalization of the National Action Plan for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), ensuring actionable outcomes from the consultations.
