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.
Since the inception of IOM in 1951, Movement Operations have been and continue to be a fundamental pillar of the Organization’s work. The organized movement of persons in need of international migration assistance is a primary mandate of the Organization and a cornerstone of IOM’s operations. This mandate has resulted in the international transport of more than 15 million migrants and refugees worldwide. Movement Operations departments in various IOM missions, coordinated under the division of Resettlement and Movement Management (RMM) in the Department of Operations and Emergencies (DOE) at IOM’s Geneva Headquarters, are responsible for all aspects of travel for migrants and refugees under IOM’s auspices, in accordance with the various framework agreements with resettlement and receiving Governments and partners across the spectrum of the Organization's programmes.
According to the 2019-2020 Tanzania Country Refugee Response Plan, the United Republic of Tanzania is hosting approximately 250,590 Burundian asylum seekers and refugees who have arrived in the country in several waves since April 2015. The majority of refugees and asylum-seekers are hosted by the Government of Tanzania in three refugee camps in the Kigoma region of Tanzania, namely: Nyarugusu, Nduta, and Mtendeli.
In July 2017, the Government of Burundi issued a call encouraging Burundians in the camps to voluntary return, promising to help rebuild the economy in Burundi. On 28 March 2018, the 20th Meeting of the Tripartite Commission for the Voluntary Repatriation of Burundian Refugees in the United Republic of Tanzania was held in Bujumbura, Burundi. In a joint communique, Tripartite Commission members the United Republic of Tanzania, the Republic of Burundi, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) agreed to implement a work plan for the voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees.
Within this context, IOM, in coordination with UNHCR, the governments of the United Republic of Tanzania and Burundi, as well as local Non-Governmental Organisation (NGOs), has been responsible for the safe and orderly voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees. Voluntary repatriation of refugees is a traditional area of intervention for IOM, in partnership with UNHCR. Such returns are achieved in accordance with protection concerns and procedures, and the principle of voluntariness.
Under the overall supervision of the Regional Director and the direct supervision of the Chief of Mission in Dar es Salaam, with administrative coordination with the Head of Sub-office in Kasulu and the programmatic coordination with the Programme Coordinator in Dar es Salaam, the selected candidate will be responsible for the implementation of all transport operations for the voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees from refugee camps in Kigoma region to their country of origin.
