The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is an intergovernmental organization established in 1951, which holds a leading position in the field of migration. With 157 Member States and an additional 10 observer States, as well as offices in over 100 countries, it closely collaborates with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners to manage migration in an orderly manner and under conditions that preserve human dignity. Its goals include promoting international cooperation on migration, facilitating practical solutions to migration issues, and providing humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced persons. IOM has been present in Morocco since 2001 and established a mission in Rabat in 2007. Implemented for four decades by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) Program provides humanitarian, administrative, logistical, and financial assistance to vulnerable and distressed migrants who choose to voluntarily return to their countries of origin. In Morocco, the AVRR Program has enabled thousands of distressed migrants to return to their home countries since 2005, when they are unable to do so on their own.

Under the guidance of the Head of Programme, the overall supervision of the Protection Officer, and the direct supervision of the AVRR Programme Officer and in collaboration with relevant teams and Resources Management affiliates in the Protection unit; the successful candidate will support the planning, promotion, coordination and implementation of IOM activities in the area of migrants protection and AVRR in Morocco in the framework of AVRR, notably the European-Union (EU) funded Migrant Protection Return and Reintegration (MPRR) programme.
