Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.

Context:
Irregular migration across the Central Mediterranean route is extremely dangerous for migrants: crossing the Mediterranean to Italy is by far the deadliest route, with 1 death recorded for 35 arrivals (IOM, 2016). In addition, many migrants interviewed by IOM on their arrival to Italy reported that they were victim’s exploitative practices during their migratory journey along the routes of the Central Mediterranean.
To meet these challenges, the European Union (EU) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) have developed the Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration in Africa (hereinafter “Joint Initiative”) which foresees varied interventions including protection and assistance for vulnerable and stranded migrants as well as victims of trafficking, capacity building for the authorities, support for sustainable reintegration in the communities of origin. The Joint Initiative aims to strengthen the technical and material capacities of authorities and organizations involved in these areas so that they can ultimately take over the policies and programmes related to the protection and reintegration of migrants, with a view to improving the governance of migration in the region.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) and the direct supervision of the Program Manager, the successful candidate will act as a Protection Coordinator in Mali under the Joint Initiative, also responsible and accountable for developing and promoting IOM’s migrants’ assistance strategy in Mali.
