IOM - National Taskforce Coordination Officer - Baghdad

Context/Reporting line:
IOM Iraq’s PVE program aims at analyzing and addressing underlying drivers, motivations and vulnerabilities to violent extremism that may arise in context of marginalization, exclusion, human rights violations, social isolation, exposure to radical ideologies, and lack of livelihood opportunities. To address these factors, IOM relies on its institutional strengths as building blocks for its efforts to address local conditions that are conducive to violent extremism. Working at the institutional, community and individual levels, IOM Iraq supports a whole-of society approach to understanding and addressing underlying vulnerabilities and building community and individual resiliency.
Building upon IOM’s participation and leading role in the United Nations (UN) Joint Approach and the application of the Global Framework for the Return of Third Country Nationals from northeast Syria in the Iraq context, IOM is seeking to strengthen its coordination of the Rehabilitation and Transitional Services Taskforce (RTS TF) under the Technical Working Group (TWG) for the Implementation of the Global Framework in Iraq. IOM co-chairs the RTS TF alongside the Ministry of Migration and Displacement. The UN has underlined the immediate need to engage proactively and constructively with the Government of Iraq (GoI) authorities on rehabilitation to establish the foundation which will be necessary to enable the continuation of return operations from northeast Syria of the remaining 25,000 or more Iraqis in Al-Hol Camp.
Under the general guidance of the Head, Peacebuilding and Stabilization Division , the overall supervision of the Programme Manager (PVE), the administrative supervision of the Head of Sub Office ( HoSO) and the direct supervision of the National PVE Officer, the successful incumbent will lead on government liaison for the Rehabilitation and Transitional Services Taskforce and support on coordination of meetings, events, and activities.
