Position Title: Research Assistant for Rapid Assessment – DRR & Migration Management
Type of Appointment: Consultancy (short-term)
Duty Station: Bosnia and Herzegovina (home-based)
Estimated start date: As soon as possible
Duration: Approximately 30 days within 2 months
ABOUT IOM
Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and 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.
BACKGROUND
This consultancy will take place within the IOM regional program, “Enhancing Capacities and Mechanisms to Identify and Protect Vulnerable Migrants in the Western Balkans”, funded by the U.S. State Department, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration. The aim of the program is to support and build the capacities of the countries of the Western Balkans to manage migration flows and protect vulnerable migrants, while also expanding regional cooperation and coordination on this matter.
In 2018, over 24,000 refugees and migrants attempting to reach the European Union through the so called “Western Balkan Route” were registered in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). In response to this influx, the government, with the assistance of international and national humanitarian actors, opened a number of reception facilities, to increase the available accommodation capacity. Currently, there are two government-run facilities (Delijas Asylum Centre, Trnovo, Sarajevo Canton; and Salakovac Refugee Centre, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton) and five centres managed by IOM, in coordination with the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs (Usivak Temporary Reception Centre (TRC), Usivak, Sarajevo Canton; Sedra TRC, Cazin, Una-Sana Canton; Borici TRC, Bihac, Una-Sana Canton; Bira TRC, Bihac, Una-Sana Canton; and Miral TRC, Velika Kladusa, Una-sana Canton). Lastly, there is a closed-type facility in Lukavac, East Sarajevo (Republika Srpska). In addition to persons accommodated in official centres, there are a number of refugees and migrants living in private accommodation. Estimates of the number of refugees and migrants present in the country fluctuate on a daily basis, but range from 3,500 to 5,500.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is exposed to a number of risks of natural disasters, including floods, wild fires, heavy snowfalls, earthquakes, etc. and currently hosts a considerable migrant population, concentrated in few locations. As highlighted in the IOM Guidelines to Protect Migrants in Countries Experiencing Conflict or Natural Disaster (MICIC Guidelines), the refugee and migrant population is particularly vulnerable to natural disasters. They are often not included in crisis preparedness and response plans and have challenges in getting timely information, not having access to local media due to language barriers and being often isolated from the host communities.
SCOPE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
In this context, IOM is looking for a Research Assistant to support the Ministry of Security, Sector for Civil Protection, to collect information for and draft a rapid assessment of (1) the risks the migrant population currently in the country may be exposed to and (2) the level of integration of refugee and migrant reception facilities in the Civil Protection Disaster Preparedness and Response Plans. The aim of the rapid assessment is to take a snapshot of the current situation and make recommendations to the relevant actors to include the migrant population in Preparedness and Response Plans and mechanisms.
The rapid assessment report should be no more than 20 pages long. The proposed structure of the report is the following:
Background, rationale and objective of the assessment (1 page)
Brief overview of the legislative context (1 page)
Mapping of main areas of migrant concentration, description of the population at risk, overview of the risks the migrant population is exposed to in these areas and estimated impact of potential disasters (up to 8 pages)
Mapping of municipal Risk Assessment and Disaster Response Plans and assessment of the level of integration of the migrant reception facilities and migrant population within these documents (up to 8 pages)
Conclusions (1 page)
Recommendations to relevant actors (2 pages)
TASKS
Under the supervision of IOM program management, and in close coordination with BiH Ministry of Security, Sector for Civil Protection, the Research Assistant is expected to carry out the following tasks:
Agree with the Ministry of Security, Sector for Civil Protection, a schedule of field visits to main refugee and migrant concentration points/reception facilities (Sarajevo and Una-Sana Canton).

Assist the Ministry of Security, Sector for Civil Protection, in the preparation of a draft assessment report.
