ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE
|
Established
in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of
migration and 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.
Background
IOM’s
main activities in Rwanda to date are related to the socio-economic
reintegration of returnees in collaboration with the Ministry of Disaster
Management and Refugees Affairs (since 2010) and now with a new project as
part of joint One UN / Government of Rwanda Return and Reintegration
programme where IOM is providing vocational training.
Following
the civil war in DRC, IOM is also involved in resettlement of Congolese
refugees, mainly to USA, Australia, Finland, Canada and UK.
IOM
also is working to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Rwanda and
other stakeholders engaged in labour migration management to systematically
manage and regulate labour migration. A new project has also been agreed with
the Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration to support them to
devise a comprehensive and integrated IT strategy for border management.
IOM
has also worked previously in the areas of diaspora engagement and counter
trafficking (in collaboration of Rwanda Diaspora Directorate whereby diaspora
members were mobilized and
|
|
sensitized
to share their skills through temporally practice in local hospitals.
Additionally, raising awareness in preventing human trafficking in
collaboration of Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion and National
police). IOM is currently pursuing new potential projects in both these
areas.
The
position is a ‘roster’ position and will provide back up to the current
medical team in times of a high number of clients or the temporary absence of
a full-time staff nurse. IOM will provide advance notice of the requirement
to work and will issue the relevant contract prior to the work commencing.
