Against this background, the Consortium Leadership Team (CLT) of IOM, the lead organisation of the Danwadaag consortium, seeks to recruit a Senior Program Support Assistant to support and contribute to CLT activities with regards to Project Development and management, Reporting, Budget monitoring, and Knowledge Management.
Under the overall supervision of the Senior Programme Coordinator (EPC) and the direct supervision of the Durable Solutions Consortium Coordinator, the Senior Programme Support Assistant will be responsible and accountable for assisting project development, partner and donor coordination and Consortium Leadership Team activities, and supporting day-to-day monitoring and reporting for Danwadaag programmes.
