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.
Context:
Zimbabwe has a long history of migration as a source transit and destination country for migrants. Due to its strategic central geographic location within Southern Africa and its position on the North-South migration corridor, Zimbabwe has also experienced a marked increase in mixed migration and irregular migration flows. Since the year 2000, the country has also experienced social, economic and political crises that resulted in unprecedented levels of inflation and high unemployment, in addition to witnessing a combination of natural and manmade hazards and disasters that have resulted in large scale internal displacements.
Under the overall and direct supervision of the Chief of Mission in Zimbabwe the Project Coordinator will be responsible for the coordination of operations of IOM’s ongoing program activities under the relief and resilience portfolio, in response to multiple crisis that have been affecting the country and post-crisis immediate efforts aiming recovery.

Help build synergies among IOM programmes and actively facilitate cooperation among them, recognizing that the ownership of management rests with all relevant programme managers and sector coordinators.
Analyse project/programme reporting and inform the Chief of Mission and the Head of Programmes accordingly about potentially required adjustments and emerging complementary opportunities.
Ensure that all necessary efforts are coordinated for the programmes to be funded sufficiently and in a timely manner, by locally participating in inclusive resource mobilization efforts.
Maintain strong and regular liaison with the project/programme partners, such asgovernmental authorities, diplomatic missions, and other concerned agencies and working groups, aiming at coordinating and promoting new activities and facilitating the implementation of ongoing activities and participating in fund raising for new projects/programmes.
Work in close collaboration with the Chief of Mission, Head of Programmes and relevant partners, with a view to ensuring that humanitarian action is linked to, and consistent with, sector frameworks, recovery/reconstruction and development activities.
Support the IOM humanitarian response programmes with technical and operational input, together with the Chief of Mission and Head of Programmes, in humanitarian partner meetings, liaison with donors and other humanitarian stakeholders.
Check adherence to established policies and procedures in the formulation of project activities, bring issues of non-compliance to the attention of the supervisor, and coordinate and provide guidance on the preparation of project documents, including design, monitoring and evaluation.
