Position Title**: Intern - Housing, Land, and Property Rights**
Duty Station **:Geneva, Switzerland**

Classification**: Intern, Grade Other**
Type of Appointment**: Internship, six months with possibility of extension**
Estimated Start Date**: As soon as possible**

Closing Date**: 11 September 2024**
- Established in 1951, IOM is a Related 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 dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the_
- benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants._

**_ Context:_**

**Background Information**

Addressing displacement involves facilitating return, local integration, or resettlement, with land
and property rights playing a key role. However, displacement often occurs in areas with
insecure property rights, poor land administration, and weak legal systems. Conventional
property registration is typically complex and slow, making it unsuitable for urgent displacement
crises. Shelter partners must navigate complex legal contexts where land tenure information
may be lost, risking evictions if tenure rights are unclear. Security of tenure is critical for effective
shelter interventions and durable solutions to displacement.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Humanitarian Innovation Norway have
initiated the LandLedger project to develop a low-cost, fast property recordation system. This
system aims to secure displaced people's rights to immovable property, operating independently
or in parallel of governmental recordation systems. To ensure transparency and share how the
project is being designed, systematic documentation of project milestone activities,
brainstorming sessions, market dialogues, consultations, and pilot development, must be
routinely documented and shared with contributors and partners.

**Supervision**

Under the overall supervision of the Head of Office in Geneva and direct supervision of the
Global Housing, Land and Property Rights Advisor; and in collaboration with relevant units at
Headquarters and the Administrative Centres, the Housing, Land and Property Intern will
support the Innovation Norway LandLedger Project Manager in meeting project milestones and
documenting the project process and the HLP team in carrying out key global support duties,
