IOM National Consultant, National Migration Policy Development Support Jobs in Ethiopia
IOM National Consultant, National Migration Policy Development Support Jobs in Ethiopia
The National Anti-Trafficking and Smuggling of Migrants Task Force (NATF) has coordinated several initiatives such as developing a Migration Profile for Ethiopia and assessing Ethiopia’s migration governance frameworks.
These initiatives, plus various stakeholder consultations, have led to the conclusion that the absence of a comprehensive migration policy for the country represents a major gap in migration governance in Ethiopia.
A national migration policy is needed to anchor a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach to address mobility-related crises and maximize the benefits of the migration-development nexus.
Following a high level inter-ministerial consultative workshop on migration governance convened by Ethiopia’s Office of the Attorney General, GoE ministries with migration management mandates agreed to jointly develop a comprehensive National Migration Policy. To this effect, a Technical Working Group (TWG) chaired by the Office of the Attorney General has been established to spearhead the drafting of the National Migration Policy.
To support this effort, IOM Ethiopia has been requested to employ a National Consultant.
