Introduction

Large mixed migration movements continue to top the global political agenda, as reflected in the 2016 UN New York Declaration, and remain at the forefront of concerns, discussions and collaboration across the multilateral system and beyond. These movements create considerable challenges for countries of first asylum, transit and destination, as well as countries of origin, including through impact on socio-economic environments, such as labour markets of host countries, particularly where these may have already been under pressure and there is high unemployment.

The majority of refugee populations are hosted by low- and middle-income countries. As displacement has become increasingly protracted, responses are becoming more focused on durable solutions to support more dignified, inclusive and comprehensive programmes for refugees and the communities that host them to facilitate self-reliance and empowerment and strengthen social cohesion.

In this context, the Government of the Netherlands launched a new partnership initiative in 2018 – the PROSPECTS Partnership Programme – built on the combined strengths, experience and values of specific development and humanitarian organizations to develop a new paradigm in responding to forced displacement crises. The partners include: the Government of the Netherlands, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the ILO, the UNHCR, UNICEF and the World Bank. The Partnership aims to help transform the way governments and other stakeholders, including the private sector, respond to forced displacement crises.

Description of Duties

Project management:

  1. Responsible for effective management, coordination, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all programme activities.
  2. Manage funds/budgets allocated to the Partnership programme and ensure the preparation of periodic progress reports.
  3. Manage efficiently the human resources of the programme, including recruitment and performance management.

Technical leadership and advice:

  1. Provide technical expertise and advice to the programme team and stakeholders.
  2. Support ILO constituents in strengthening their capacities on issues relating to refugees and host communities.

Advocacy, networking and partnership:

  1. Develop and maintain excellent relations with stakeholders and promote collaboration.
  2. Liaise with other UN agencies and counterparts to promote ILO values.

Mobilization of resources:

  1. Promote relationships with the donor community and oversee resource mobilization proposals.

Knowledge management:

  1. Design communication and knowledge-sharing strategies.
  2. Identify and document lessons learned.
Required qualificationsEducation

Advanced university degree in a relevant field of study. A first-level university degree with additional relevant experience will be accepted.

Experience

At least ten years' experience in the management of development cooperation activities in a senior position, with at least seven years at the international level.
