COUNTRY OFFICE FOR ETHIOPIA AND SOMALIA

Addis Ababa

VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT CO-06-2014

The ILO Country Office for Ethiopia and Somalia is seeking to recruit a highly motivated and qualified candidate for the following position for a period of one year (with possibility of extension).

National Project Coordinator (NOB)

Supporting Smooth Reintegration of Returnees and Improved Management of Labour Migration in Ethiopia

Background of the Project

The forced repatriation of some 163,000 Ethiopian migrants from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), combined with a significant number of reported cases of abuse and mistreatment of migrants and a temporary ban on low-skilled migrant workers going to the Middle East and Sudan introduced by the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) in 2013, have put migration at the forefront of Ethiopia's agenda. Returnees often face severe difficulties upon return, in particular in terms of obtaining and/or creating alternative decent livelihood opportunities, and especially in a situation of mass return as recently experienced. As a consequence, unless adequate support is provided to reintegrate the returnees, a large proportion might choose to re-migrate, putting them at risk of becoming victims of re-trafficking and exploitation.

To this effect, the ILO, together with key partners in Government and non-state actors, will implement a three-year Technical Cooperation Project funded by the European Commission entitled, “*Supporting Smooth Reintegration of Returnees and Improved Management of Labour Migration in Ethiopia*”. The project aims at supporting the efforts of the Government in reintegrating the returnees. Given the current situation of returnees, support is needed to the government and civil society to provide social and empowerment support to returnees such as career counselling, market-oriented skills training, and sustainable livelihood e.g. through job-placement, micro and small enterprises development or access to financial services. The overall objective of this project is to improve the lives of migrants and returnees through strengthened labour migration and reintegration services. The specific objective of the project is to improve social and economic opportunities for returnees, with a particular focus on vulnerable groups.

Description of Duties

The National Project Coordinator (NPC) will be responsible for coordinating the project in Ethiopia.
