Introduction
Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, 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.
Project Context and Scope
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Brazil is implementing various projects addressing the protection, assistance, and integration needs of migrants, refugees, and other vulnerable populations in Brazil. IOM recognizes the importance of accurate and timely information to foster adequate programming and ensure accountability to affected population, donors, and governments.
In this context, different groups with specific needs such as children, women, indigenous peoples, people with mental health conditions and people with disabilities, are facing even more difficulties to access basic services and are exposed to more risks of exploitation, abuse, and violence. In light of this scenario, IOM continue supporting the extremely vulnerable Venezuelan and other relevant nationalities refugees and migrants and indigenous population in Acre, Rondônia and Amazonas, especially those in risk of human trafficking, children and adolescents, and women and girls victims of gender based violence as well as promoting their socioeconomic integration.
Under the direct supervision of the Project Manager, and in close coordination with the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Coordinator and the Information Management (IM) Coordinator, the Monitoring & Reporting Consultant will provide technical support and contribute to the M&E and donor reporting activities of the project. This role involves: participating in the interagency M&E group; liaising with focal points from other AFPs for the monitoring of the project; conducting monitoring of IOM activities; collection and management of data; drafting of donor reports; developing and reviewing monitoring plans and frameworks; and supporting IOM's knowledge management and learning efforts related to the project. The consultant may support the PSU team with ad-hoc tasks, such as M&E activities that are related with the scope of IOM’s intervention. Finally, the consultant will support the design and preparation of training sessions on protection areas, such as human trafficking, gender based violence and child protection.
