Mission and objectives
The IOM Mission in Ukraine was established in 1996. In line with IOM’s global strategy, IOM Ukraine aims at advancing the understanding of the opportunities and challenges of migration in the Ukrainian context.
The IOM Mission in Ukraine provides assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected people, fights trafficking in human beings, assists the Government in dealing with irregular migration, improving its migration management system, and creating migrant-inclusive health practices and policies. IOM supports the development of comprehensive and evidence-based migration policies and legislation in line with international norms and builds government’s capacity in harnessing the development potential of migration, among others, by creating incentives for migrants’ remittances investment and offering evidence-based policy advice to enhance labour migration management.
During 24 years of presence in Ukraine, IOM has assisted over half a million migrants (Ukrainians and other nationalities), IDPs, potential migrants, victims of trafficking and other vulnerable groups, directly or through its project partners.

Context
The International Organization for Migration's (IOM) Mission in Ukraine was established in 1996, when Ukraine became an observer state of IOM. In 2001, Ukraine requested membership in IOM, which was formalized with the Ukrainian Parliament’s ratification of the IOM Constitution in 2002.
IOM Ukraine manages portfolios covering the humanitarian-peace-development nexus, effectively addressing immediate and urgent needs, as well as promoting sustainable peace and recovery, including through support on pursuing reparations for survivors of gross conflict-related human rights violations (HRV). Since late 2022, IOM Ukraine has provided support to the Government of Ukraine (GoU) in establishing a comprehensive reparations legal and policy framework for HRV survivors, including survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV).
This United Nations Volunteers (UNV) assignment is part of IOM’s project “Supporting National and International Comprehensive Reparation and Transitional Justice (TJ) Mechanisms for Ukraine” (RP.0134), funded by the U.S. Department of State, under the Peace, Security, and Human Rights Programme (PSHR) within the Transition and Recovery Unit.
The project goal is to support the Government and civil society of Ukraine to establish and implement an efficient and effective domestic reparation mechanism and promote other TJ measures that are complementary, compatible, and interoperational with international efforts, principles and best practices. Within this framework, the UN Volunteer will support the Coordination Centre for Support of Victims and Witnesses of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine in strengthening institutional capacities to improve coordination and support for victims and witnesses of war crimes. This will include analysing existing processes and information flows, identifying operational needs of the Coordination Centre, and contributing to the development and implementation of tools and systems aimed at enhancing case management, data collection, and communication with victims and witnesses.
The UN Volunteer will also contribute to improving cooperation with national and international stakeholders, providing assistance and services to victims and witnesses, as well as supporting the preparation of analytical and informational materials necessary for the effective functioning of the Coordination Centre.
