IOM - National Government Liaison Officer-PVE and Rehabilitation - 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.
In this context, IOM’s Peacebuilding and Stabilization Division is supporting the Government of Iraq (GoI) to
roll out its “National Strategy to Combat Violent Extremism,” adopted in 2019 by the National Security Council
and Endorsed by Prime Minister in 2021 as well as the coordination of the Rehabilitation and Transitional Services Taskforce (RTS TF) under the Technical Working Group (TWG) for the Implementation of the Global Framework Global Framework for the Return of Third Country Nationals from northeast Syria in Iraq.
Under the general guidance of the Senior Programme Coordinator (Peace Bldg&Stabl), the overall supervision of the Return and Reintegration Program Officer, the administrative supervision of the Head of Sub Officer ( HoSO) and the direct supervision of the Programme Officer (PVE), the successful incumbent will lead on and provide support for the PVE program and play a key role in ensuring government liaison efforts are smooth and senior events are well executed.
