IOM Data Management Assistant Jobs in Uganda

Background and Context

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is committed to ensuring orderly and humane governance of migration, promoting international cooperation on migration issues, and assisting in the search for practical solutions to migration issues.

Through its Health, Border and Mobility Management (HBMM) framework IOM aims at empowering governments and communities to prevent, detect and respond to potential health threats along the mobility continuum (at points of origin, transit, destination and return).
