Senegal: SharePoint Developer

CONTEXT

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading United Nations agency in the field of migration, and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

In 2017, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the European Commission launched several IOM-EU External Actions to Support Migrant Protection and Reintegration of returnees funded by the EU Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa and the Development Cooperation Instrument. In the framework of the EUTF-funded Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration in Africa (covering 14 countries in the Shale and lake Chad region and neighboring countries, including Libya).

In the context of IOM’s Regional information management strategy, systems are being upgraded and expanded to ensure a high-quality document repository, improve knowledge management activities, and systematically store and manage project reports. The upgrade improves operational efficiency and the data produced will provide valuable insight into IOM’s programming.

Under the overall supervision of the Regional Programme Coordinator, and the direct supervision of the Regional Information Management Officer, the successful applicant will support the development of the West and Central Africa region SharePoint Sites. The applicant will be based in Dakar, Senegal, for the duration of the assignment.
