Project Assistant (Awareness Raising)
Position grade:  G4

Type of appointment Special short-term graded, six months with possibility of extension

II. ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE

Irregular migration along the Central Mediterranean route is increasingly dangerous for migrants.
Crossing the Mediterranean to Italy is by far the deadliest route, with 1 death recorded for 35 arrivals
(IOM, 2016). In addition, over 70% of the migrants interviewed by IOM on their arrival in Italy report that they were victims of trafficking or other exploitative practices during their migratory journey along the routes of the Central Mediterranean.

To meet these challenges, the European Union (EU) and the International Organization for Migration
(IOM) have developed the Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration in Africa (hereinafter “Joint Initiative”). Implemented in 14 countries (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal and The Gambia) through 14 specific actions, it aims to protect the security, dignity and rights of migrants along this important and dangerous migration route and to help improving the reintegration of returnees through an innovative approach. This will be achieved through different types of interventions including protection and assistance to vulnerable and stranded migrants, assistance for voluntary return, and support for sustainable reintegration in the communities of origin, the dissemination of accurate information on migration to migrants, potential migrants and communities, and the collection of data on migration flows.

The Initiative aims at strengthening the technical and material capacities of the authorities and
organizations involved in these areas so that they can ultimately take over policies and programmes
related to the protection and reintegration of migrants in the region, with a view to improving the
governance of migration in the region.
