JPO - Project Officer (Migration, Environment and Climate Change) - (Belgian Nationals only)
Country: Burundi Organization: International Organization for Migration Closing date: 27 Jan 2026 Job Identification (Reference Number): 17882 Position Title: JPO - Project Officer (Migration, Environment and Climate Change) - (Belgian Nationals only) Duty Station City: Bujumbura Duty Station Country: Burundi Grade: P-2 Contract Type: Fixed-term (1 year with possibility of extension) - up to 3 years Recruiting Type: Professional Vacancy Type: Vacancy Notice Initial duration: 1 year with possibility of extension Closing date: 27 January 2026 (23:59 local time Geneva, Switzerland) Introduction: Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, 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. IOM is committed to ensuring a workplace where all employees can thrive professionally, while working towards harnessing the full potential of migration. Read more about IOM's workplace culture at IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration Context: IOM recognizes the urgent need to address the linkages between climate change, natural hazards and displacement and migration, and to develop sustainable solutions that enhance resilience and protect the rights and well-being of affected populations. IOM is the first UN agency and international organization to have established a Migration, Environment, and Climate Change (MECC) Division in 2015, dedicated to the migration-environment nexus. The objectives of the MECC Division are threefold: (1) To prevent forced displacement that results from environmental factors to the extent possible, (2) To provide assistance and protection to affected populations when forced migration does occur, and to see durable solutions for these situations, and (3) To facilitate migration as a climate change adaptation strategy and enhance the resilience of affected communities. Burundi is highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change, which exacerbate existing challenges related to displacement and migration. The changing climate patterns, including flooding, increased frequency of hazards and environmental degradation, have severe consequences for the livelihoods, food security and well-being of communities. These climate-related factors significantly contribute to population displacement and migration within the country and across borders. In Burundi, IOM established a presence in 2010 and contributes to strengthening the capacity of the Government to address migration challenges and maximize the benefits of migration. In 2019 IOM was selected as the Lead for UNDAF Burundi (2019-2023) Pillar 4, which focuses on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and ecosystem preservation and continues being the co-lead of this pillar under the new United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027. IOM Burundi Programmatic Portfolio includes Migration Environment and Climate Change/Climate Adaptation/Disaster Risk Reduction (MECC/CAD/DRR) interventions, in coordination with the Ministry of Environment and the National Platform for Risk Prevention and Disaster Management as well as other relevant actors and UN Agencies. Furthermore, IOM Burundi is also Co-Lead for the NFI/Shelter emergency response sector in Burundi. At country level, IOM Burundi provide Government, humanitarian and development community with data tools including multi-hazard risk map by commune and the Stability Index – a research and analysis tool to analyse stability and associated displacement and return trends to inform programmatic recommendations on interventions. Close coordination with Lake Tanganyika and the Great Lakes countries (such as Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo) is crucial for MECC/CAD/DRR programming. Given the interconnected nature of the ecosystems and the shared risks, as flooding and landslides, coordinated efforts ensure a more effective and timely response to disasters. Additionally, it fosters stronger diplomatic ties and mutual support among the countries, which is essential for sustainable development and stability in the region. Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission, the direct supervision of the Programme Coordinator in Bujumbura and, in close coordination with colleagues in relevant Units, and in consultation with Regional Thematic Specialists (RTS) in Nairobi, the Project Officer (Migration, Environment and Climate Change) will be responsible and accountable for providing technical, administrative and logistical support and coordination for the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the Migration Environment and Climate Change/Climate Adaptation/Disaster Risk Reduction (MECC/CAD/DRR) themes within the Country Office and in coordination with Government and other UN Agencies and external stakeholders in Burundi.

JPO - Project Officer (Migration, Environment and Climate Change) - (Belgian Nationals only)
Country: Burundi Organization: International Organization for Migration Closing date: 27 Jan 2026 Job Identification (Reference Number): 17882 Position Title: JPO - Project Officer (Migration, Environment and Climate Change) - (Belgian Nationals only) Duty Station City: Bujumbura Duty Station Country: Burundi Grade: P-2 Contract Type: Fixed-term (1 year with possibility of extension) - up to 3 years Recruiting Type: Professional Vacancy Type: Vacancy Notice Initial duration: 1 year with possibility of extension Closing date: 27 January 2026 (23:59 local time Geneva, Switzerland) Introduction: Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, 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. IOM is committed to ensuring a workplace where all employees can thrive professionally, while working towards harnessing the full potential of migration. Read more about IOM's workplace culture at IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration Context: IOM recognizes the urgent need to address the linkages between climate change, natural hazards and displacement and migration, and to develop sustainable solutions that enhance resilience and protect the rights and well-being of affected populations. IOM is the first UN agency and international organization to have established a Migration, Environment, and Climate Change (MECC) Division in 2015, dedicated to the migration-environment nexus. The objectives of the MECC Division are threefold: (1) To prevent forced displacement that results from environmental factors to the extent possible, (2) To provide assistance and protection to affected populations when forced migration does occur, and to see durable solutions for these situations, and (3) To facilitate migration as a climate change adaptation strategy and enhance the resilience of affected communities. Burundi is highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change, which exacerbate existing challenges related to displacement and migration. The changing climate patterns, including flooding, increased frequency of hazards and environmental degradation, have severe consequences for the livelihoods, food security and well-being of communities. These climate-related factors significantly contribute to population displacement and migration within the country and across borders. In Burundi, IOM established a presence in 2010 and contributes to strengthening the capacity of the Government to address migration challenges and maximize the benefits of migration. In 2019 IOM was selected as the Lead for UNDAF Burundi (2019-2023) Pillar 4, which focuses on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and ecosystem preservation and continues being the co-lead of this pillar under the new United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDCF) 2023-2027. IOM Burundi Programmatic Portfolio includes Migration Environment and Climate Change/Climate Adaptation/Disaster Risk Reduction (MECC/CAD/DRR) interventions, in coordination with the Ministry of Environment and the National Platform for Risk Prevention and Disaster Management as well as other relevant actors and UN Agencies. Furthermore, IOM Burundi is also Co-Lead for the NFI/Shelter emergency response sector in Burundi. At country level, IOM Burundi provide Government, humanitarian and development community with data tools including multi-hazard risk map by commune and the Stability Index – a research and analysis tool to analyse stability and associated displacement and return trends to inform programmatic recommendations on interventions. Close coordination with Lake Tanganyika and the Great Lakes countries (such as Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo) is crucial for MECC/CAD/DRR programming. Given the interconnected nature of the ecosystems and the shared risks, as flooding and landslides, coordinated efforts ensure a more effective and timely response to disasters. Additionally, it fosters stronger diplomatic ties and mutual support among the countries, which is essential for sustainable development and stability in the region. Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission, the direct supervision of the Programme Coordinator in Bujumbura and, in close coordination with colleagues in relevant Units, and in consultation with Regional Thematic Specialists (RTS) in Nairobi, the Project Officer (Migration, Environment and Climate Change) will be responsible and accountable for providing technical, administrative and logistical support and coordination for the development, implementation, monitoring and reporting of the Migration Environment and Climate Change/Climate Adaptation/Disaster Risk Reduction (MECC/CAD/DRR) themes within the Country Office and in coordination with Government and other UN Agencies and external stakeholders in Burundi. Responsibilities Coordinate the implementation of MECC/CAD/DRR policies and programmes, including monitoring budgetary, administrative, and technical aspects, in line with IOM’s policies and procedures. Support the design, set up, and roll out new data collection and research activities in accordance with global standards and methodologies specifically linking migration, environment, and climate change.

If you are based in a country where we have an existing office you can choose to work from the office, from home, or a combination. If outside of these countries, you will be expected to work from home. In that case we would use an Employer of Record to employ you on our behalf. Reports to: Chief Executive Officer Contract: Full time and permanent contract (though we are open to considering applications from those who want to work on a part-time or job-share basis). At ADD we work a 4-day week, Monday to Thursday 30 hours per week. Expected start date is April 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. As an organisation that works with disability justice activists in Africa and Asia we are clear that lived experience of disability is hugely important to our mission. Priority for this role will be given to disabled people. We want to see you at your best and so please let us know if there are any reasonable accommodations at all that we can make to the recruitment process to ensure that it works for you. We are also committed to ensuring that we continue to review and make accommodations throughout your employment with ADD. About ADD International. ADD is a participatory grant-maker for disability justice. Our vision is for a world in which ableism no longer exists, and disabled people can fully participate in society. Our mission is to strengthen disability justice activists and organisations through resourcing, and leadership skills. In March 2024 we launched a new ten-year strategic framework which canbe found on our website here: https://add.org.uk/mtiririko/ We are transforming our organisation away from traditional development and getting back to our roots by sharing more power and resources directly with activists. Over the next ten years, we have a goal to provide £25 million long-term unrestricted grants directly to disability justice activists and movements. Crucially, we will also give disability justice activists greater decision-making power on who should receive funding and how funding should be spent. Our new ‘Fundseeking’ Strategy outlines how we will raise the funding and cultivate the right partnerships to provide the flexible resources that disability justice movements need and that allow ADD to become the grant-maker we aspire to be. This is not a usual fundraising strategy. It decentres ADD’s own growth and instead focuses on using our position and proximity to wealth with intention to channel more resources to disability justice movements that are less able to access them. The first two years of this strategy have successfully raised £3 million in unrestricted funding from funders who share our vision. The Opportunity Between 2022 and 2025 our outgoing Director of Funding, Communications and Transformative Partnerships transformed ADDs approach to fundraising and led the team to raise over £3m in flexible funding to support our new strategy transforming our balance of income and making the commitment to change how we work possible.

Conflict, climate shocks, economic instability and the ongoing war in neighboring Sudan have created a perfect storm of suffering, leaving families unable to access enough food. Since April 2023, over 1.2 million people fleeing the conflict in Sudan have crossed into South Sudan, placing additional pressure on overstretched communities and humanitarian systems. The World Food Programme (WFP) has supported more than 620,000 of them with fortified biscuits, food or cash assistance, and nutrition support for mothers and young children. A total of 7.56 million people – over half the population – face Crisis or worse levels of food insecurity or worse, with hunger reaching near-record levels. approximately 28,000 people are classified in IPC AFI Phase 5 (Catastrophe), including 17,000 people in Luakpiny/Nasir (Upper Nile) and 11,000 people in Fangak (Jonglei). Luakpiny/Nasir County, particularly its southern parts along the Sobat corridor, remains a major concern, with populations facing a risk of famine during both projection periods under a plausible worst-case scenario. The situation is particularly dire for children, with over 2.1 million aged over 5 acutely malnourished. A total of 2.8 million children is out of school – more than half of them girls. Female literacy remains alarmingly low at just 29 percent, compared to 40 percent for men – among the lowest rates in the world. Food assistance remains essential to averting a humanitarian catastrophe. But it must also serve as a bridge to long-term recovery.
