IntroductionThe IOM Regional Office for East and Horn of Africa provides direct support to the thematic work of the Department of Operations and Emergencies (DOE), covering the Organization’s crisis-related work, which includes preparedness, response, risk reduction and prevention, and support to recovery, transition processes and population movement operations. The region has been affected by large-scale refugee and migrant movements, protracted conflict and humanitarian need, including the wide-ranging impacts of conflicts in South Sudan and Somalia, and pockets of instability and fragility, often fuelled by the effects of widespread environmental degradation and climate change.

Support the Regional Office and Country Offices (COs) in the assessment, development, planning and implementation of recovery, stabilization and transition programming for the East and Horn of Africa Region.
In close coordination with Thematic Specialist and relevant HQs Divisions, contribute to the review, endorsement and tracking of project proposals developed by Country Offices (COs).
In close coordination with Transition and Recovery Division at HQ, coordinate project technical support and endorsements for IOM’s PVE programming in the region.
In the context of L3 emergency response, identify and pursue programmatic opportunities that support early transition of affected populations out of emergency towards recovery, reconstruction and development.
In coordination with the COs, support context and conflict-sensitive analysis at regional and country levels to strengthen the evidence-base for peace-building and stabilization operations, and that include analysis of conflict drivers, with a particular focus on the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change on conflict and displacement dynamics.
Promote integration of resilience and risk reduction perspectives into country-level strategies, programmes and activities supported by risk and vulnerability assessment.
Promote the inclusion of Housing, Land and Property (HLP) considerations into broader recovery, peace-building, justice and reconciliation frameworks and initiatives, and in support of durable solutions for displaced populations; support the inclusion of HLP issues in development, urbanization and climate change programming; advise project developers and project managers on integrating HLP into project concept notes and proposals.
Support research and information needs of the Thematic Specialist relevant in particular to the transition, recovery, stabilization and post-crisis portfolio.
Engage with inter-agency working groups on humanitarian assistance, transition, stabilization, recovery,
peace-building, risk reduction and solutions towards promoting a coherent and comprehensive programming approach for the region.
Contribute to inter-agency planning processes and initiatives focussing on strengthening the humanitarian-development-peace nexus.
Contribute to the preparation of appeals in the Regional Office that are coordinated with relevant UN partner entities, ensuring early integration of transition and recovery support in the humanitarian response.
Keep COs abreast on funding opportunities relevant to the portfolio and seek out alternative funding sources, including from peace-building and stabilization donors.
Support production and dissemination of reports and outreach materials outlining the need for sustained investment in disaster risk reduction, conflict mitigation and climate change adaptation programming, and other root causes and prevention-oriented approaches to addressing crisis and displacement.
