Overview of position











Under the overall supervision of the Project Manager, and the direct supervision of the project officer, the successful candidate will act as Communication assistant in charge of the dissemination and implementation of the Information Campaign under the MRRM within the IOM Libya Emergency Response portfolio.
Communicating with migrant communities on the move and host communities calls for a comprehensive community engagement process that treats the provision of timely, comprehensible and reliable information as a pillar of IOM’s humanitarian activities.
Within the framework of the Humanitarian Voluntary Return (VHR) Programme and the Migrant Resource and Response Mechanism (MRRM) in Libya, IOM seeks to enhance the protection of vulnerable migrants in transit by increasing awareness of migration threats and hazards as well as providing critical information about access and referral to a wide variety of targeted humanitarian services including assisted voluntary return services available. To facilitate this objective, a targeted two-way communications campaign has been developed in Libya using culturally and linguistically relevant print and multimedia communications tools with embedded feedback mechanisms to help migrants make informed decisions and facilitate return to their countries of origin where requested.
By providing unbiased reliable information about the extreme dangers they face at the hands of smugglers (slave markets, sexual exploitation, extortion, abuse etc.) especially during their intended journeys across the Mediterranean, the campaign is aimed at dispelling rumours and challenging the false promises of smugglers transmitted orally and via media channels and informing about alternatives. To effectively reach migrants, the information campaign will focus on places where they congregate and disembark popular social media channels as well as detention centres.
The selected candidate will be based in Tripoli with regular travel to the field to ensure the implementation of the campaign by disseminating the materials and assisting the IOM field team in delivering the messages of the campaign in various targeted locations in Libya.
