Context
Within West and Central Africa, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) seeks to enhance economic integration among its member states, which experience significant mobility as millions of citizens and migrants’ cross borders daily. This migration, driven by a youthful and growing population facing limited access to quality education and decent job opportunities, manifests in both regular and irregular forms. Irregular migration arises from various factors, including conflict, climate change, and weak asylum systems. As West Africa grapples with environmental degradation and political instability, the region's rapid urbanization further reshapes migration patterns. Mobility remains crucial for many, offering vital access to employment and remittances, thus contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and providing essential livelihood strategies for families across the region.
Within this context, the Regional Data Hub (RDH) is dedicated to providing data and analysis expertise and guidance for implementing the IOM Strategic Plan. The RDH strengthens the regional evidence base on migration by providing technical support and capacity development to IOM offices, regional bodies, member states and other stakeholders on migration and displacement data; and supporting the uptake of knowledge and evidence to inform policies and programmes. Activities and objectives of the RDH are in line with the priorities of delivering data for action, insight and foresight.
Between 2013-2021, IOM, in collaboration International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) and International Labour Organization (ILO) implemented the programme Support to Free Movement of Persons and Migration in West Africa (FMM I). Now in its second phase, FMMII is working to maximise the development potential of the free movement of persons and migration in West Africa by supporting the effective implementation of the ECOWAS Free Movement of Persons Protocol and the ECOWAS Common Approach to Migration.
The Data Capacity Development Officer (Regional Data Hub) will substantively support the second phase of the project 'Support to Free Movement and Migration in West Africa' (FMMII). They will focus on the operationalization and strengthening of the capacities of the ECOWAS Commission to promote harmonised methodologies for migration data collection and management in the region.
Under the overall supervision of the Deputy Regional Director (DRD) for Operations for the West and Central Africa (WCA) region, the direct supervision of the Regional Thematic Specialist (Data and Research), and in close collaboration with the FMMII team based in Nigeria and the Directorate of Free Movement of Persons and the Directorate of Research & Statistics in ECOWAS, the Data Capacity Development Officer (Regional Data Hub) will support the operationalising and strengthening the data collection, management capacities and implementation of the Guidelines for the Harmonisation of Migration Data Management in the ECOWAS Region.
Several capacity-building efforts will be implemented based on the results of the regional assessment that will identify key needs and priorities for data collection for migration management. The Data Capacity Development Officer will also support the ECOWAS Commission in developing and publishing a regional migration profile based on national migration profiles, giving an overview of migration data and trends in the ECOWAS region and developing ECOWAS annual migration data reports.
Under FMM II, the Data Capacity Development Officer will support operationalising the Labour Market and Migration Information System (LMMIS) at both regional and MS levels, based on the roadmap developed under FMM, to enable common reporting on the labour market and migration data across the sub-region. To implement the LMMIS, it is important to support (regional and national) annual data collection that can adequately inform the labour market and migration indicators established under FMM. The project will support ECOWAS and its MS in establishing a minimum annual programme to collect statistical data on labour migration in all ECOWAS countries. The project will continue to build the capacities of national institutions to collect data and use harmonised data based on the standardised data indicators adopted in the first phase.
Responsibilities
1. Support the design and implementation of baseline surveys to assess existing needs and priorities in migration data collection across ECOWAS Member States and Mauritania, focusing on migration management data collection, including immigration, border management, and gender-sensitive data practices.

4. Support data coordination and information exchange with continental platforms such as the African Union observatory, promoting interoperability and policy coherence.
5. Support ECOWAS member states in updating their national migration profiles when one exists and provide technical assistance in developing one in countries where this exercise has never been undertaken.
6. Provide technical support in the preparation of policy-relevant studies on free movement and migration, and contribute to knowledge-sharing by participating in regional thematic and ministerial meetings as per needs identified.
7. Provide technical assistance and capacity building to strengthen labour migration data systems and support the ECOWAS Commission in advancing the Directive on the Labour Market and Migration Information System (LMMIS).
8. Support the organization of regional meetings with ECOWAS Member States and Mauritania to promote the roll-out of the LMMIS, and to support dialogue around national observatory data on labour markets and migration.
9. Participate actively in the development of harmonized reporting indicators for Member States’ annual labour market and migration reports.
10. Compile and analyse national reporting on LMMIS implementation and engage stakeholders at national and regional levels on key findings and recommendations.
