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:
Under the overall supervision of the Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok, Thailand and the direct supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Sri Lanka and Maldives, and in coordination with the relevant Units in RO Bangkok and Headquarters (HQ), the Senior Programme Manager (Immigration and Border Health Management) will be responsible for the development, planning, implementation, financial oversight, coordination and the monitoring and evaluation of the project to “Enhance Border Management Capacity for Responding to Infectious Diseases in Southwest Asia”.
The project is designed to support secure and safe operations at Points of Entries (PoEs) to augur international travel, boost traveler confidence and prompt a return to pre-pandemic levels of cross-border mobility; the project will address gaps in passenger processing and health screening systems through a combination of new technology, infrastructure, procedures, training, and renovation works.
This will streamline the management of traveller information, reduce waiting times, implement contactless processes and procedures by border control personnel. The project will also institute infection prevention measures and emergency response modalities and guarantee the safe disposal of potentially hazardous medical waste at PoEs, resulting in a safe environment for staff, travellers and crew while reducing harmful environmental and health impacts.
The project intends to strengthen overall border management capacities of the host government/s to prevent the spread of infectious diseases that would otherwise impede the revitalization of human mobility.
