ERR Project Assistant (Admin) (G-4)

​​Since 2006, IOM has been the primary intergovernmental organization dedicated to migration in the country. It operates from offices in Beirut, North Lebanon (Tripoli), the Beqaa Valley (Chtoura), the South (Tyre), and Mount Lebanon. IOM in Lebanon has a strong record in providing humanitarian assistance to populations affected by crises, while collaborating with government counterparts to support long-term recovery efforts and enhance migration governance in the country.   

​Lebanon’s crisis has led to a sharp rise in poverty and the collapse of basic services, disproportionately impacting vulnerable groups such as refugees, IDPs, and migrants as well as disadvantaged Lebanese citizen. In this context, there is a pressing need to work across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus, providing preparedness and emergency response capacities, including cash based assistance for sudden on-set crises while improving the livelihoods of vulnerable populations to promote economic resilience while ensuring that the activity appropriately matches skilled labour supply with the existing and urgent demand for skilled workers in Lebanon and abroad, and foster community stability to facilitate an enabling environment supporting the revitalization of local economies in areas prone to inter- and intra-communal tensions, internal displacement, and irregular migration.
