Migration and Livelihood Development Advisor GIZ- External Vacancy Announcement #095/2020 Strengthening IGAD Migration Policy Implementation (SIMPI)   The Horn of Africa region is hosts two of the largest refugee situations of the world and at the end of 2018, 8,920,000 of the world’s 41.3 million IDPs displaced by conflict and violence lived in the IGAD region. In addition, according to the IDMC report more than 1 million were displaced by recurrent droughts and natural disasters have displaced more than half a million IDPs were displaced by natural disasters in 2018. The majority of IGAD member countries are at the same time countries of origin, transit and reception of migrants and refugees. Mobile population groups consist of internally displaced persons, refugees, seasonal migrant workers, labour and education migrants and pastoralists. Regular migration routes in the region have so far been very limited. IGAD has a mandate to harmonize regional and national migration policies, to implement global policy processes, to promote knowledge management and dialogue and to support cross-border cooperation. This is where the “Strengthening IGAD Migration Policy Implementation (SIMPI)” comes in, by improving the implementation of this mandate with the following components in the area of migration and displacement: -  Component (1) Strengthening IGAD's capacity to implement international, continental and regional migration and refugee frameworks in member countries.  Component (2) Strengthening local administration’s capacities in selected IGAD member states in providing services to host communities, refugees and migrants in border regions.  Component (3) Strengthening regional learning and migration data management in the IGAD region.
