Description
Context/Reporting line:
Preventing violent extremism remains a major challenge across Iraq. Despite the military defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Iraq in December 2017, the group remains active in many pockets of the country, including in rural parts of Kirkuk, Salah Al-Din, Diyala, and Anbar governorates. ISIL and other violent extremist groups continue to attract membership and support, exploiting grievances in the communities having to do with (real and perceived) discrimination in political representation, services, or human rights, among others. Almost 1.2 million people remain in displacement, including thousands of families who are living in situations where conductions could exacerbate the vulnerabilities which are associated with increased risk of recruitment or mobilization into armed groups.
In this context, IOM’s Peacebuilding and Stabilization Division is supporting the Government of Iraq (GoI) to roll out key policy frameworks and strategies, including the UN-GoI Technical Working Group for the Implementation of the Global Framework Iraq and the National Strategy to Combat Violent Extremism. More specifically, IOM is supporting efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate Iraqi nationals returning from northeast Syria through its co-chairmanship of the Rehabilitation and Transitional Services Taskforce and delivery of specialized trainings and services support these efforts. IOM is also supporting the GoI to localize the National Strategy in six locations, working closely with local authorities, civil society organizations (CSOs), communities and other stakeholders to develop and implement Plans of Action.
IOM Iraq is currently seeking to establish a pool of prevention of violent extremism (PVE) training consultants to support its expanding program in Iraq.
Under the general guidance of the Head, Peacebuilding and Stabilization Division, the overall supervision of the Programme Manager (PVE), and the direct supervision of the Programme Officer (PVE), the successful incumbent will provide the PVE team with expert design and delivery of PVE and rehabilitation trainings to a number of different audiences.
