Project Assistant – Migration & Sustainable Development

In the framework of IOM’s Migration & Sustainable Development strategy, RO Brussels is rolling out activities in the EEA region and partner countries globally to build internal and external capacity in the area of Migration & Sustainable Development. This includes managing the EU-funded “Guidelines on Mainstreaming Migration into International Cooperation and Development Policy” (MMICD) project with the aim of contributing to effective mainstreaming of migration into international cooperation and development. The project is producing and piloting guidelines for the use of the EU, other donors and partner countries from the perspective of mainstreaming migration into development aid and donor cooperation and coordination. Accompanying capacity building measures are taking place in three pilot countries targeted by EU development aid. Under the direct supervision of the Project Manager (PM), and working closely with the LHD unit and other relevant colleagues in RO Brussels Policy & Programme Support Division , and the Migration & Sustainable Development unit in IOM HQ, the Project Assistant will support activities in the area of technical assistance, quality assurance, communications, knowledge management, and capacity building related to migration & sustainable development, in particular through implementation of the MMICD project and the MIRAC project. He/she will support the PM in ensuring the MIRAC and MMICD project activities in the EU and partner countries are designed and rolled out to a high standard and according to IOM standard operating procedures, in line with the new IOM Migration & Sustainable Development strategy.
