Mission and objectives

La OIM en el Perú está consagrada al principio de que la migración en forma ordenada y en condiciones humanas beneficia a los migrantes y a la sociedad. El Perú es un Estado Miembro de la OIM desde 1966 y, formalmente, el Gobierno Peruano mediante el Decreto Ley No. 17559 de fecha 01 de abril de 1969 aceptó la Constitución de la OIM. Desde entonces, OIM ha centrado sus labores en asistir, dar apoyo técnico y asesoramiento a los gobiernos, ciudadanos e instituciones sobre gestión migratoria y la defensa de los derechos humanos de los migrantes. Las restricciones de movimiento y las medidas de cuarentena implementadas como respuesta a COVID-19 han tenido un impacto significativo, para los migrantes y refugiados provenientes de Venezuela. La mayoría ha perdido su capacidad de generar ingresos y no están incluidos en los planes nacionales de respuesta y / o mecanismos de protección social. Por lo tanto, las intervenciones basadas en efectivo (CBI) se han identificado como un mecanismo clave para apoyar a la población efectivo, en particular, aquellos que han perdido sus ingresos y están luchando por satisfacer sus necesidades básicas.

Context

Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is a related organi-zation of the United Nations and, as the leading agency of the United Nations in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental part-ners. The IOM is committed to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. To this end, it provides services and advice to governments and migrants. In collaboration with the government of Korea, IOM Peru has launched a cooperation project aimed at supporting the socioeconomic integration of the Venezuelan refugee and migrant community within the Peruvian host communities of Lima, Callao, Tacna, and Tumbes. This initiative focuses on four key areas of intervention: labor market inclusion, entrepreneurship skills and business management knowledge, access to education, increased awareness on migration issues, and efforts to enhance the socio-emotional stability of refugees and mi-grants through inclusion and social development. Additionally, the selected volunteer will be involved in key projects aimed at facilitating inte-gration and support for migrants. This will include participation in capacity development initia-tives, direct and indirect assistance to vulnerable populations, and contributions to the strate-gic planning of long-term programs. Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams will offer a unique opportunity for professional growth and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by the field of migration on a global scale. Under the general supervision of our RMO in IOM Peru and the direct supervision of the Fi-nance Coordinator, the selected candidate will support various management tasks of the ac-counting and finance unit in the Lima Office, Peru.
