Context:

In 2017, the International Organization for Migration and the European Commission launched several IOM-EU External Actions to Support Migrant Protection and Reintegration of returnees funded by the EU Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa and the Development Cooperation Instrument. In the framework of the EUTF-funded Reintegration Facility the IOM Regional Office for the East and Horn of Africa is looking for an Information Management Officer. In the context of IOM’s global information management strategy, systems are being upgraded and expanded to ensure that all individuals assisted have their cases systematically stored and managed through a centralized, standardized system which allows unique cases to be tracked across different countries and access points. The expanded systems will also include processes to improve the assistance workflow and monitoring of the return and reintegration experiences and outcomes of returnees, as well as the assistance provided to all migrants in vulnerable situations assisted by IOM.

Under the direct supervision of the Regional Data Hub Coordinator and the overall supervision of the Regional EUTF Programme Coordinator, and, and in close coordination with the Migrant Protection Assistance (MPA) Division’s Senior Regional Thematic Specialist and Information Management Officer in Headquarters, the successful candidate will support the roll-out of IOM’s Migrant Management Operational Systems Application (MiMOSA) version 7.5 in the East and Horn of Africa as well as support with the development of harmonized tools for the collection and analysis of case management data related to Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) and migrant protection case management (including CT data).
