The Regional Office of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Brussels is establishing a roster of experts for short and mid-term consultancies (maximum 60 days) to respond to requests for technical assistance by African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, particularly in the migration areas of remittances, visas, readmission, trafficking in human beings and smuggling of migrants. Such areas are in accordance with the recommendations of the African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) – European Union (EU) Dialogue on Migration.
Experts applying to the roster will be registered depending on their fulfilment of the below criteria. They might be contacted by the ACP-EU Migration Action Central Unit to further inquire of their interest and availability, for a specific mid- or short-term assignment for the provision of technical expertise to an ACP Government/ACP Regional Organization. Officials of ACP countries’ Governments and EU Members States with the below qualifications and experiences are encouraged to apply for inclusion in this roster.
Technical assistance provided in the framework of these assignments can encompass different activities, depending on the request by the ACP Government. Specific ToR for each assignment will be developed ad hoc and shared with the experts that will be contacted.
The delivery of such technical assistance by the experts will require a thorough understanding of the TORs of the specific assignment, of the local context, and of the technical assistance request by the ACP Government. The preparation of the assistance will need constant and direct contact with the ACP-EU Migration Action Central Unit of IOM.
