Write a Mid-Term report for IOM The Gambia.

Mission and objectives

Established in 1951, The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is a dynamic and growing inter-governmental organization, with 166 member states, and committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits all.
IOM works to ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need including refugees and internally displaced people.
IOM in The Gambia has had small operational presence in the country since 2001 when The Gambia became a member state to IOM. From 2001 to July 2017, the IOM Country Office only had between 1 – 3 staff, primarily tasked to implement Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) projects to return and reintegrate relatively small numbers of Gambian migrants from European countries.
However, with the change in government in January 2017, emerging from Yahya Jammeh’s 22 years of dictatorial regime to “The New Gambia,” led by the coalition government of President Adama Barrow, the country is seeing an influx of donor interest and funding to support its peaceful, consolidated transition to democracy and development. IOM in The Gambia is also accordingly expanding its operation with a new project, “EUTF-IOM Joint Initiative on Migrant Protection and Reintegration: The Gambia,” funded by the European Union’s Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF) and signed in June 2017 to be implemented over a 3-year period. The expectations are high among the public for the Government to succeed in dealing with the challenge of irregular migration, marked by mass out-migration of youth over the recent past.

Context

The Online Volunteer, in close coordination with the IOM’s Chief of Mission, Programme Managers, National Strategic Communications Officer and relevant staff, will lead the collection of information around IOM The Gambia project implementation for the reporting period and develop a report with how the interventions impact our beneficiaries. The Mission will provide all the necessary information and technical guidance to enable the Online Volunteer to undertake the task with ease. The contribution of the Online Volunteer in producing a quality Mid-Term Report will contribute to painting a vivid picture of how IOM’s work is delivering on the promise of safe, orderly, and regular migration while supporting the world’s most vulnerable.
