Enumerator/Reintegration support

Project Context and Scope

IOM has been operating in Sierra Leone since 2001. During its inaugural years, IOM Sierra Leone has supported the Government of Sierra Leone through the implementation of life-impacting projects including the demobilization and rehabilitation of ex-combatants as well as the registration and resettlement of refugees to third countries. IOM’s activities have since expanded reflecting emerging and changing needs related to mobility and migration management in the areas such as development of human capital and strengthening of institutional capacity; health and border management; emergency response including the Ebola outbreak and flood/mudslide disasters; diaspora engagement; counter trafficking; disaster risk reduction (DRR); Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR).

IOM Sierra Leone is currently implementing a project on Migrant Protection, Return and Reintegration Programme for Sub-Saharan Africa (MPRR-SSA), funded by the European Union (EU). This project aims to facilitate migrants voluntary return in their countries of origin, to assist returned migrants with sustainable reintegration with emphasis on protection and MHPSS support through strengthened partnerships with the Government of Sierra Leone, civil society organizations and private sector.

Under the overall supervision of the Programme Coordinator and direct supervision of the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, the Enumerator/reintegration support will support the MPRR -SSA Programme with quality data collection on migrants to inform project reporting, program development and partnerships on the different challenges and experiences that may have an impact on the sustainability of the reintegration process. In addition, the Enumerator/reintegration support will provide documentation and field related support to the reintegration team.
