The Africa Regional Migration Program (ARMP) seeks to address challenges related to migration across the four sub-regions of the program, including mixed migration flows, trafficking in persons, smuggling of migrants and goods, irregular migration, forced displacement, inadequate disaggregated migration data, limited urban and social services, untapped development potential of labor migration and remittances. In some countries, these challenges are compounded by the absence of a coherent and comprehensive operational migration policy framework.
The Migration Hub (MHub) unit was established at RO MENA in Cairo to work as a regional knowledge hub supporting the production and dissemination of knowledge on the protection issues faced by people on the move in North Africa for use by policymakers, agencies, donors, the public and academia, with a view to informing advocacy, policy and programme development. It fosters collaborative approaches among key stakeholders. MHub supports the mainstreaming of the donor's priorities including mixed migration, climate change, the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), etc. while ensuring strong synergy with the 2030 Agenda.
Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Regional Director for Operations and direct supervision of the MHub Coordination Officer; and, in collaboration with relevant Regional Thematic Specialists (RTSs), the Regional Data Hub (RDH), and relevant colleagues under both the Operations and Management tracks, the Senior Programme Associate will assist RO Cairo's directorate in achieving IOM’s Global mandate on Migration via the MHub in line with the donor's priorities.
