IOM Consultant- National Referral Mechanism Jobs in Ethiopia
IOM Consultant- National Referral Mechanism Jobs in Ethiopia
Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governments, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.
IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. IOM Ethiopia’s Migration Management Unit (MMU) works closely with the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) to improve migration management and governance including countering human trafficking and smuggling of migrants (SoM) and promoting regular labour migration channels as well as the migration-development nexus.
Ethiopia is faced with a wide range of migration related challenges. With the second largest population in Africa and rapid demographic growth combined with significant socioeconomic insecurities, irregular migration, trafficking in persons (TiP) and smuggling of migrants (SoM) are rife on three major migration routes: the Eastern route which transits through Djibouti or Somaliland and Punt land onward to Yemen and mainly to Saudi Arabia; the Northern route on which migrants transit though Sudan, Libya or Egypt and make the dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean to reach Europe; and the Southern route whereby migrants make the trip to South Africa, often ending up detained in various countries along the route. Trafficking in persons (TIP), especially of women and children is a national, regional/continental, and global problem. The United States Department of State’s annual TIP Report (2018) indicates that Ethiopia is a source and, to a lesser extent, destination and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Ethiopia is a source country for TIP for numerous forms of exploitation, both internally and internationally with significant numbers of children being sexually exploited in Ethiopia.
