Context and Scope
Established in 1951, IOM is a leading inter-governmental organization providing services to governments and migrants in the field of migration. With its 173 member States and offices in more than 100 countries, IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. IOM actively participates in the inter-agency coordinated humanitarian and resilience responses to the diverse impacts of the Syria crisis. The armed conflict in Syria has resulted in humanitarian and development consequences well beyond Syrian borders. Over 5.5 million Syrians have taken refuge in neighbouring countries, including Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt. As of 28 February 2022, 673,957 Syrian refugees are registered with UNHCR in Jordan – 81% of which live outside camps. Jordan also hosts 88,397 refugees from other countries than Syria, including Iraq, Yemen, Sudan and Somalia.
In Jordan, the protracted nature of the Syria crisis has taken a toll on refugees and host communities alike, depleting personal savings and assets, straining local service provision and exacerbating vulnerabilities.
While Syrian refugees and refugees of other nationalities continue to require access to international protection and asylum, they also face a range of interlinked protection risks in host countries. The socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have further exacerbated pre-existing protection risks and increased vulnerabilities, especially for women and girls, older persons and persons living with disabilities. In Jordan, protracted displacement compounded by the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 has also increased GBV risks and exposure for women and girls, who comprise half of the registered Syrian refugee population in the country.
Under the direct supervision of the Protection Officer and overall supervision of the Programme Manager, the successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the implementation of IOM’s protection activities, including protection case management services to vulnerable refugees living in remote locations across Jordan as follows:
