JOB DESCRIPTION

Introduction

Organizational Context and Scope

Since 2018, RMM has been mainstreaming protection and accountability to affected populations within its activities. These efforts support implementation of the RMM minimum standards that govern protection mainstreaming in resettlement and movement management, and institutional guidance and frameworks on protection, gender, age, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) and disability inclusion. Recent assessments demonstrate the need to provide more comprehensive support to protection mainstreaming efforts within RMM programming, and to strengthen linkages on protection mainstreaming between RMM and other IOM units, both of which will be essential components of this role.

Under the general supervision of the Migrant Protection Coordinator, the direct supervision of the Migrant Protection Officer , and in close coordination with the Movement Operation Coordinator, the Senior Project Assiociate (Protection mainstreaming) has the following duties and responsibilities:

In close coordination with relevant RMM and Protection division colleagues and taking a whole-of-organisation approach towards diversity, intersectionality, and the inclusion of marginalised groups, implement and support the continued use of the Protection Mainstreaming in Resettlement and Movement Management principles and Mainstreaming Accountability to Affected Populations (MAAP) minimum standards and their associated tools in Democratic Republic of Congo. Monitor, collect and report feedback on their implementation, integrating new tools as needed. Ensure all personnel understand the principles and minimum standards, have access to relevant trainings and guidance, understand the use of the principles and guidelines in decision-making, and can explain how they are relevant and applicable to their individual work. As needed, contribute to the design of new guidance and tools.

Liaise with Movement Operations colleagues on the support provided to vulnerable individuals, including those related to children, older people, people with disabilities and people with diverse SOGIESC, and provide updates on them to management regularly. Ensure visual materials, case management materials (such as the scripts utilised by personnel), and other materials and tools are fit for purpose for regional needs, appropriate for a diverse range of individuals, and suited to meet the needs of vulnerable cases. Liaise with the Migrant Protection Officer on these materials as well as on topics as data collection, management, and protection.

Utilising RMM guidance and relevant MAAP and institutional protection tools, assess the accessibility of IOM facilities and other spaces in which Movement Operations personnel are operating in DRC. Work closely with the Migrant Protection Officer, Migrant Protection Coordinator on resolving any accessibility issues that need to be addressed. Ensure all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) take accessibility and inclusion into account when directing personnel how to implement their work.

Where relevant, work closely with the Field Support pillar to ensure that migrant reception centers and third-party facilities meet RMM Protection Mainstreaming in Resettlement and Movement Management principles and MAAP minimum standards, as well as appropriately utilise all relevant tools, and provide a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment for all individuals utilising the facilities. If a Migrant Reception Centers or utilised third-party facilities contain a Youth Services area, work closely with the Field Support pillar and Regional Protection Specialist to ensure that the area is fit for purpose and inclusive of all children who may access it.

In line with RMM guidance, and guidance published by the IOM Protection Mainstreaming team, work to improve the performance of community feedback mechanisms (CFMs) in the region. Ensure that the CFM has multiple channels; that community feedback is recorded in a structured manner; and that individuals who raise feedback receive a meaningful reply within a specified timeframe. Ensure that there is a structured system for recording feedback, so that it can be processed in an orderly, transparent manner. Improve outreach efforts, organise regular group feedback sessions, and work to record CFM metrics. Additionally provide capacity building on CFMs, work with other IOM units to harmonise feedback mechanisms in the area and collaborate with management to address issues that are raised.

Assist in increasing staff’s knowledge of protection mainstreaming topics through regular, accurate, accessible, and inclusive information sharing that advises both management and personnel and answers questions in a timely manner. In collaboration with training colleagues, support and provide training on protection mainstreaming topics in DRC.

Promote coordination, collaboration and documentation of best practices and lessons learned between IOM Country Offices in DRC, institutional protection mainstreaming/PSEA personnel and HQ by participating in protection mainstreaming working groups, networks, and other forums.

Coordinate closely with other IOM units in the offices and region to ensure that protection mainstreaming activities are growing more closely aligned between Movement Operations and other IOM areas of work. Seek to fit RMM mainstreaming activities into existing systems and initiatives within the mission and region, rather than duplicating efforts. As necessary, provide support to both management and personnel in identifying and adjusting approaches to protection mainstreaming issues, including complaints and feedback mechanisms, in order to align throughout the region.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Introduction

Organizational Context and Scope

The organized movement of persons in need of international migration assistance is a primary mandate of the Organization and a cornerstone of IOM’s operations. Movement Operations Units in various IOM Country Offices, coordinated under the Resettlement and Movement Management Unit (RMM) in the Department of Mobility Pathways and Inclusion at IOM’s Geneva Headquarters (HQ), are responsible for all aspects of travel for migrants and refugees under IOM’s auspices, in accordance with the various framework agreements with resettlement and receiving Governments and partners across the spectrum of the Organization’s programmes.
Since 2018, RMM has been mainstreaming protection and accountability to affected populations within its activities. These efforts support implementation of the RMM minimum standards that govern protection mainstreaming in resettlement and movement management, and institutional guidance and frameworks on protection, gender, age, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) and disability inclusion. Recent assessments demonstrate the need to provide more comprehensive support to protection mainstreaming efforts within RMM programming, and to strengthen linkages on protection mainstreaming between RMM and other IOM units, both of which will be essential components of this role.
Under the general supervision of the Migrant Protection Coordinator, the direct supervision of the Migrant Protection Officer , and in close coordination with the Movement Operation Coordinator, the Senior Project Assiociate (Protection mainstreaming) has the following duties and responsibilities:

RESPONSIBILITIES

Undertake protection mainstreaming activities in relation to Movement Operations activities in Democratic Republic of Congo, including ensuring protection mainstreaming standards and guidelines are implemented and upheld; spearheading and managing initiatives that promote meaningful and sustained inclusion of all relevant populations; regularly reviewing and advising on the accessibility of facilities; enhancing accountability mechanisms including complaints and feedback mechanisms (CFMs); and providing relevant training as needed.
In close coordination with relevant RMM and Protection division colleagues and taking a whole-of-organisation approach towards diversity, intersectionality, and the inclusion of marginalised groups, implement and support the continued use of the Protection Mainstreaming in Resettlement and Movement Management principles and Mainstreaming Accountability to Affected Populations (MAAP) minimum standards and their associated tools in Democratic Republic of Congo. Monitor, collect and report feedback on their implementation, integrating new tools as needed. Ensure all personnel understand the principles and minimum standards, have access to relevant trainings and guidance, understand the use of the principles and guidelines in decision-making, and can explain how they are relevant and applicable to their individual work. As needed, contribute to the design of new guidance and tools.
Liaise with Movement Operations colleagues on the support provided to vulnerable individuals, including those related to children, older people, people with disabilities and people with diverse SOGIESC, and provide updates on them to management regularly. Ensure visual materials, case management materials (such as the scripts utilised by personnel), and other materials and tools are fit for purpose for regional needs, appropriate for a diverse range of individuals, and suited to meet the needs of vulnerable cases. Liaise with the Migrant Protection Officer on these materials as well as on topics as data collection, management, and protection.
Utilising RMM guidance and relevant MAAP and institutional protection tools, assess the accessibility of IOM facilities and other spaces in which Movement Operations personnel are operating in DRC. Work closely with the Migrant Protection Officer, Migrant Protection Coordinator on resolving any accessibility issues that need to be addressed. Ensure all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) take accessibility and inclusion into account when directing personnel how to implement their work.
Where relevant, work closely with the Field Support pillar to ensure that migrant reception centers and third-party facilities meet RMM Protection Mainstreaming in Resettlement and Movement Management principles and MAAP minimum standards, as well as appropriately utilise all relevant tools, and provide a safe, accessible, and inclusive environment for all individuals utilising the facilities. If a Migrant Reception Centers or utilised third-party facilities contain a Youth Services area, work closely with the Field Support pillar and Regional Protection Specialist to ensure that the area is fit for purpose and inclusive of all children who may access it.
Support RMM, program and other institutional monitoring efforts by sharing relevant information about the concerned populations, briefing monitoring teams on protection mainstreaming-related activities, assisting in strategizing monitoring mechanisms based on the working landscape of Kinshasa, DRC, making connections with relevant community-based organisations (CBOs), civil society organisations (CSOs), organisations for persons with disabilities (OPDs), When required, set up focus group discussions and other forums enabling community feedback, ensuring both accessibility and inclusion, and provide feedback on other monitoring tools such as surveys and interview protocols.
In line with RMM guidance, and guidance published by the IOM Protection Mainstreaming team, work to improve the performance of community feedback mechanisms (CFMs) in the region. Ensure that the CFM has multiple channels; that community feedback is recorded in a structured manner; and that individuals who raise feedback receive a meaningful reply within a specified timeframe. Ensure that there is a structured system for recording feedback, so that it can be processed in an orderly, transparent manner. Improve outreach efforts, organise regular group feedback sessions, and work to record CFM metrics. Additionally provide capacity building on CFMs, work with other IOM units to harmonise feedback mechanisms in the area and collaborate with management to address issues that are raised.
Assist in increasing staff’s knowledge of protection mainstreaming topics through regular, accurate, accessible, and inclusive information sharing that advises both management and personnel and answers questions in a timely manner. In collaboration with training colleagues, support and provide training on protection mainstreaming topics in DRC. Ensure learners are furnished with the tools necessary to link the training to their daily work and to evaluate the effectiveness of their learning experience over a period of time. Collaborate with protection colleagues to ensure that RMM staff have received appropriate protection training.
Work closely with the Migrant Protection Coordinator and the Migrant Protection Officer to ensure that all trainings, tools, collaborations, and feedback mechanisms utilised throughout the DRC are designed to ensure they are accessible to all personnel and beneficiaries, regardless of their age, gender, disability, or any other factors. Promote coordination, collaboration and documentation of best practices and lessons learned between IOM Country Offices in DRC, institutional protection mainstreaming/PSEA personnel and HQ by participating in protection mainstreaming working groups, networks, and other forums.
Coordinate closely with other IOM units in the offices and region to ensure that protection mainstreaming activities are growing more closely aligned between Movement Operations and other IOM areas of work. Seek to fit RMM mainstreaming activities into existing systems and initiatives within the mission and region, rather than duplicating efforts. As necessary, provide support to both management and personnel in identifying and adjusting approaches to protection mainstreaming issues, including complaints and feedback mechanisms, in order to align throughout the region.
Participate in relevant mission-level and regional meetings related to protection mainstreaming, ensuring close coordination on participation and information sharing with mission management, Movement Operations management, mission-level protection colleagues, other protection-related colleagues in the region, and the Movement Operations CoordinatorProgramme Officer (MAAP).
Maintain and promote the confidentiality and integrity of all relevant paperwork in line with standards of conduct and data protection rules. Alert the direct supervisor or management of any non-compliance to SOPs or codes of conduct by IOM staff members or partners.
Ensure that the Migrant Protection Officer Senior Programme Coordinator (Protection Mainstreaming) and the Movement Operations Coordinator are copied into report
Perform other relevant duties as assigned.
