Project Context and Scope
The IOM and UNHCR missions in Armenia are implementing the project “Enhancing Policy Framework and Capacity for Effective Migration and Asylum Management in Armenia”. This two-and-a-half-year project is co-funded by the European Union (EU) and aims to contribute to more effective and accountable service delivery that is based on the principles of good governance and respect of rule of law in the areas of migration, asylum, and human rights. Specifically, it will support the enhancement of asylum and migration governance in Armenia to foster well-managed and secure cross-border mobility and continue strengthening migration and asylum systems in Armenia.
In 2023, IOM supported the newly established Migration and Citizenship Service (MCS) with conducting induction training for all the staff members to ensure effective functioning of the newly formed institution and equip staff members with the necessary knowledge and skills required for their roles. As the next step, the training is expected to be institutionalized within the permanent training facility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This process involves integrating the curricula into the permanent training structure of the MCS. By doing so, the training will become an integral part of the MCS's training framework, ensuring learning continuity and sustainability, as well as evaluation for permanent staff.
Under overall supervision of the Head of Office in IOM Armenia, and the direct supervision of the Programme Officer, and in close coordination with MCS, the consultant will be expected to support the adaptation of training curricula for effective use by the MCS.
