Mission and objectives
Como organización intergubernamental líder que desde 1951 promueve la migración humana y ordenada, la OIM juega un rol clave en cuanto a apoyar el logro de la Agenda 2030 por medio de diferentes áreas de intervención que conectan a la asistencia humanitaria con el desarrollo sostenible.
Context
Colombia remains a critical context for human mobility, characterized by complex migration flows and internal displacement dynamics. As the leading UN agency for migration, IOM Colombia works closely with the government and partners to ensure humane and orderly migration. Central to this mission is the ability to generate high-quality, evidence-based data to inform public policy and humanitarian response.
The International UN Volunteer will join the Programme Support Unit in Bogotá to strengthen the mission’s Information Management framework. The volunteer will support the deployment of the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), oversee data governance, and ensure alignment with global IOM Data Protection Protocols. Key activities include optimizing M&E dashboards, designing mobile data collection tools (Kobo/ODK), and transforming raw data into high-impact visual products and Power BI reports to support advocacy and resource mobilization.
