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. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. Context:

Human trafficking and generally irregular migration remain extremely prevalent in Myanmar - a source, transit and destination country for human trafficking. The root causes of irregular migration in Myanmar are complex and multi-dimensional, including issues of poverty, underdevelopment, conflicts, natural disasters, internal displacement and statelessness. Lack of livelihood opportunities at home and labor migration through regular channels are the primary drivers for irregular migration. Intensification of conflicts within country and recurrence of natural disasters create an environment in which smuggling and trafficking may flourish. Myanmar men are subjected to forced labor, particularly in the fishing industry in neighboring countries. Women are subject to forced marriage, sexual exploitation in the sex industry and the entertainment sector as well as labor exploitation in the field of domestic service. About the project:

The project aims to contribute to the efforts of the Myanmar society to prevent human trafficking and irregular migration through community-based dialogue on human trafficking and smuggling, irregular migration to increase awareness at the community level and evoke the wider community to nurture the home grown solutions to be continuously carried out by local community, watch groups, youth, CSOs/CBOs, and faith-based organizations. The projects will help the Myanmar society to engage in a coordinated approach aimed at influencing potential migrants’ attitude and behaviour towards irregular migration and safe migration. Objective of the Consultancy

IOM Myanmar is seeking a consultant to design a Community-Based Dialogue Facilitators Manual and Trainer’s Guide to help communities and other stakeholders to engage in dialogues on human trafficking and irregular migration with the aim of identifying home grown solution. Besides awareness raising through the community conversations, the consultant will also train to build the capacity of relevant counterparts including local communities to effectively participate in the prevention of trafficking enabling them to generate home grown solutions to human trafficking, enhancing the protection of victims of trafficking (VoTs) and improved data collection and reporting.
