I. Position Information
SVN No: SVN/IOMSO/002/2015
Position title: Human Trafficking Investigation Expert
Position grade : Ungraded equivalent to $ 7000 PM
Type of contract: Short Term under 3rd Party Contract
Duty station : Puntland Somalia
Duration of Assignment : Six months with possibility of extension
Job family: Programs
Organizational unit: Capacity Building for Migration Management (CBMM) / Counter-Trafficking (CT)
Reporting directly to: Project Manager - CMBB/CT
Overall supervision by: Chief of Mission
II. Organizational Context and Scope
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is implementing a project “Prevention of Child Trafficking and Gender-based Violence (GBV) as well as Protection and Care for Victims in Somalia” funded by EU. The project aims to prevent the trafficking of children and gender-based violence (GBV) as well as protecting and caring for victims in Somalia, Puntland state and central part of Somalia, particularly in the regions of Bari, Mudug, Nugal and Galgdud. This will be achieved by working with local authorities and policy makers, police, immigration officers, journalists as well as affected communities. Puntland is geographically located in the north-eastern part of Somalia and its capital city is Garowe. Garowe is located in Nugal region and the seat of the Puntland Authority, which most of the Government Ministries; many United Nations Agencies and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have established their offices. It is the third largest city after Bossaso and Galkayo.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Puntland Police is under the Ministry of Security, Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR), which maintains security apparatus and the immigration. The ministry headquarters is located in Garowe, the capital city of Puntland state of Somalia, with administrative offices in Bossaso and Galkayo.
IOM has been supporting the Puntland Authority and the civil society to build their capacity to comprehensively address human trafficking. Since February 2014, with funding from European Union, IOM has been implementing a project to address human trafficking and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Puntland, which focuses on children. During the previous projects, IOM has revitalized the CT unit in Garowe and the CID plans to establish the same in Bossaso and Galkayo police stations.
To date, most of the Victims of Human Trafficking (VoTs) are children, mainly girls, under 18 years old. Against this backdrop, the capacity building of the CT units aims to incorporate child protection in investigation of human trafficking incidents and referral of the VoTs.
IOM therefore seeks to recruit Human Trafficking Investigation Expert to be based in Garowe, who will be technically supporting Counter Trafficking investigation in the police CID department. The incumbent will be remotely receiving technical support from Nairobi and the IOM’s African Capacity Building Centre in Tanzania.
