Details

Mission and objectives:

• Founded in 1951, IOM is a sister organization of the United Nations and, as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is committed to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does this by promoting services and advice to governments and migrants.

Context:

• Gabon is a key transit and destination country for many migrants, mainly from West and Central Africa. According to the United Nations Population Fund, migrants accounted for more than a quarter of the population in 2022, or 462,380 people. As in other contexts, Gabon faces complex social dynamics that often manifest themselves in opposition, conflict, verbal tension, and intolerant messages, including on social media, in the press, and at large gatherings. These phenomena pose a significant challenge to social cohesion between migrants and host communities.
• In response to this situation, the project aims to strengthen migrant integration and social cohesion in Gabon by addressing hate speech. It is aligned with Gabon's national development priorities and the country's international commitments in the areas of human rights, migration governance and the promotion of social peace.
• The UN Volunteer to be recruited will support IOM Gabon in the implementation of this project, contributing to innovative, inclusive and sustainable actions that address the urgent needs of vulnerable populations and strengthen the Gabonese government's national development agenda. The United Nations Volunteer may be required to carry out field missions in different regions of the country.

Task description:

• Under the direct supervision of the Project Manager, the Resource Mobilization Associate will support the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Gabon in strengthening its fundraising and partnership efforts. He/she will contribute to increasing the visibility of the organization, supporting multi-stakeholder partnerships, and mobilizing resources for the implementation of programs/projects promoting safe and orderly migration. The United Nations Volunteer (UN Volunteer ) will work closely with his/her project management colleagues in the country office and regional office, focusing on resource mobilization, donor relations, and partnership development.
• Specifically, the UN Volunteer will:
• Assist in identifying funding opportunities and calls for proposals relevant to IOM Gabon's priorities.
• Support the drafting of concept notes, project proposals, and donor requests in accordance with donor requirements and formats.
• Contribute to the preparation of donor reports, ensuring compliance with IOM standards and donor requirements.
• Maintain and update a database of donors, funding opportunities, and partnership agreements.
• Help develop and maintain relationships with public and private sector donors through regular communication and follow-up.
• Coordinate with other IOM Country Offices and field missions, as needed, to share good practices and facilitate project development.
• Complete any other tasks assigned by the supervisor.
• During the first month of the mission, the UN Volunteer will work closely with his/her direct supervisor to finalize an agreed work plan. The work plan should define key objectives and activities and include regular debriefings with the supervisor to assess progress and receive performance feedback.
