VA25P111V01: Project Officer
The Project Officer works within the framework of the Khartoum Process Secretariat of the EU-funded project “Africa-EU Migration and Mobility Dialogue (MMDIII)". The Support Programme to the Africa-EU Migration and Mobility Dialogue (MMD) is part of the Joint Africa EU Strategy. Now in its third phase, the multi-faceted Programme continues to support ICMPD-facilitated migration dialogues (Rabat Process, Khartoum Process, and the AU-EU Continent-to-Continent Migration and Mobility Dialogue), to follow-up on the Joint Valletta Action Plan (JVAP), and to support the implementation of projects by local authorities and civil society organisations, through a grants component. The Programme thereby adheres to the five domains of the JVAP: (i) development benefits of migration and addressing the root causes of irregular migration and forced displacement, (ii) legal migration and mobility, (iii) protection and asylum, (iv) prevention of and fight against irregular migration, migrant smuggling and trafficking in human beings, and (v) return, readmission and reintegration.
The Khartoum Process is a platform for political cooperation amongst countries along the migration route between the Horn of Africa and Europe. It is designed to assist participating states in tackling human trafficking and migrant smuggling through concrete actions in the spirit of partnership, shared responsibility, and cooperation. Objectives: to establish a continuous dialogue for enhanced cooperation on migration and mobility; to identify and support the implementation of concrete initiatives to address trafficking in human beings and smuggling of migrants; to give a new impetus to regional collaboration among partner countries.
Excellent command of English (written and spoken) is essential. Proficiency in French and/or Arabic is a strong asset.
The Project Officer will report to the Khartoum Process Dialogue Coordinator.
