Mission and objectives
Bangladesh is amongst the most vulnerable worldwide to the impacts of climate change, both in terms of sudden onset hazards (cyclones, floods) and slower onset processes (droughts, heavy rainfall, coastal erosion, sea level rise). Different patterns of human mobility related to climate change have been reported across the region, including disaster risk management and evacuations, labour migration and urbanization in contexts of environmental degradation, and planned relocation processes.
In 2018, IOM started Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) activities in the host communities of Cox’s Bazar with the aim of providing multi-level DRR support for reducing disaster risks while achieving climate resilience and protection of vulnerable groups in times of disaster. Substantial structural and non-structural capacity building initiatives in disaster management, early warning and prevention have been implemented with different levels of Government authorities and local host communities in several districts and sub-districts of Cox’s Bazar. IOM will be implementing an 18-month project within host communities, focusing also on enhancing DRR social protection and support the development of coherent approaches in the Cox’s Bazar to address the challenges of Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change, Environment Protection and Resilience in the context of sudden-onset and slow-onset disasters, including by taking into consideration relevant recommendations from international frameworks, such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.

Context
Under the project “Strengthened Service Delivery Systems for Improved Migration Management and Sustainable Reintegration”, funded by the European Union (EU), IOM aims to strengthened Inter-ministerial and other existing coordination mechanisms for migration and reintegration services, enhancing institutional capacity and coordination mechanisms at national and sub-national levels.
The project will strengthen and institutionalize District Migration Coordination Committees (DMCCs) as key district-level coordination platforms for migration governance and reintegration support. Building on the structures established under the Prottasha Project, the intervention will enhance the operational capacity and functionality of existing DMCCs. The project will facilitate regular coordination meetings, strengthen referral and information-sharing mechanisms among relevant stakeholders, and support the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs) to improve service coordination for migrants and returnees. Furthermore, the project will promote stronger collaboration among District Employment and Manpower Offices (DEMOs), local administration, civil society organizations, and service providers to ensure migration and reintegration services are delivered in a coordinated, gender-responsive, rights-based, and sustainable manner.
This United Nations Volunteers (UNV) assignment is part International Organization for Migration’s project “Strengthened Service Delivery Systems for Improved Migration Management and Sustainable Reintegration”, funded by the European Union (EU).
