Context:IOM’s Disengagement, Disassociation, Reintegration and Reconciliation (DDRR) programme is a key component of IOM’s peacebuilding and stabilization portfolio that aims to increase Somalia’s resilience to destabilizing conditions and contribute to peace and improved security in Somalia through supporting the Federal Government of Somalia’s National Programme on the Treatment and Handling of Disengaged Combatants and Youth at Risk (National Programme).
In the absence of a peace agreement, and other preconditions usually required for traditional Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programming, IOM has been supporting the FGS in its implementation of the National Programme through a four-pillared approach that reframes traditional DDR in terms of Disengagement, Disassociation, Reintegration and Reconciliation (DDRR). This context specific and context sensitive approach has been developed and implemented alongside local partners to include the national government and regional administrations, to create viable, reliable, gender-responsive, transparent and nationally owned legal and operational processes to support exit and reintegration pathways for former associates where sanctioned violent extremist groups are involved. In facilitating the reintegration of former associates within these new contexts, IOM works to reduce the risk of recidivism or recruitment into criminal or violent extremist groups by addressing the drivers of conflict and building resilience at the individual and community levels.Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) and the direct supervision of the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCoM) in Mogadishu, Somalia, the successful candidate will assume a principle managerial role to coordinate IOM Somalia’s DDRR Programme, to include the management, and the technical and administrative oversight over activities, projects, staff, and partnerships. S/he will serve as the primary interlocutor responsible for managing relationships between IOM, government counterparts, key stakeholders, and donors ensuring effective communication and coordination of activities.
Within the IOM DDRR portfolio, the Programme Coordinator will provide critical technical oversight over the implementation of activities at four (4) transitional rehabilitation centres jointly managed by IOM and the government, as well as civil society partnerships supporting community-based reintegration activities ensuring alignment with evidence-based best practices, international standards and national laws, policies and SOPs.
