Evaluation of UNICEF Nutrition Information Project in the Horn of Africa (NIPHORN phase I) Career Opportunity

UNICEF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every child are realized. We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality.  That makes us unique among world organizations, and unique among those working with the young.

International Organization for Migration (IOM) Project Development Officer Job Vacancy in Kenya

International Organization for Migration (IOM) Project Development Officer Job Vacancy in Kenya

Background Information
An intergovernmental organization established in 1951, IOM is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society.
The IOM Mission with Regional Function (MRF) for East and Central Africa is based in Nairobi/ Kenya and covers the following countries: Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Djibouti, Burundi, Rwanda, Sudan and all three regions of Somalia.
The East and Horn of Africa are diverse regions composed of states in conflict, post conflict and development stages. The regions produce and serve as host to the world’s largest refugee population. The emerging migration trends in the region indicate an increased mixed migration flow of irregular migrants and asylum seekers to, through and from the countries along various routes that have been mapped by recent studies.
These flows and other movements are posing new migration challenges to the governments in the region in their efforts to manage migration due to increased internal displacements, increased vulnerability to human trafficking and smuggling, return and reintegration, lack of protection for migrant rights. Labour migration, large remittances flows, linkages with the diaspora and skill transfer from national experts abroad are some of the existing benefits the region states should better capitalize on.
