Context:
Founded in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It provides services and advice to governments and migrants.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), IOM is actively involved in, and contributes to the inter-agency humanitarian response through Shelter, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) programmes. In addition, IOM co-leads the CCCM Cluster with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Several provinces of DRC are currently confronted with large population movements and require active CCCM support. Subsequent to the activity of armed groups in the province of North Kivu since October 2022, over 1,500,000 people have been displaced as of May 2024, including a large number of persons who sought shelter into collective settlements. The degrading security context in Ituri is marked by inter- and intra- communal violence and conflict, generating cyclical and ongoing displacement, as well as significant violation of the civilian and humanitarian character of IDP sites. Finally in the province of Tanganyika, the IOM CCCM unit seeks to strengthen its operational field and camp management (surge) capacity to accompany hints of stabilization and voluntary return dynamics out of sites.
Under the overall supervision of the Head of Operations and the direct supervision of the Programme Coordinator (CCCM), the Field Operations Officer (CCCM) will provide technical and operational support for CCCM activities in formal and informal displacement sites hosting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in North Kivu.
