Mixed Migration Analyst Officer

Mixed Migration Analyst officer   

Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

 

Do you want to work in a dynamic organization, you have a sharp pen and the right analytical glasses; then the mixed migration analyst officer is something for you!

 

DRC increasingly works in the domain of “mixed migration”, a notion that acknowledges the complexity of today’s migratory flows, where people of distinct backgrounds, with diverse and changing legal statuses move along similar routes and often face similar protection concerns (abuse, trafficking, etc.). DRC has set up the Reginal Mixed Migration Secretariat West Africa (RMMS WA), which collects data, produces in-depth analysis and supports policy and programming in the mixed migration domain.
