\nJob Description
\nEstablished in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) serves as the United Nations agency dedicated to migration, working in close collaboration with governmental, intergovernmental, and civil society partners. IOM\u2019s mission is to promote humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all, offering services and expert advice to both governments and migrants.<\/p>\n
The RRR project strengthens Cameroon\u2019s migration governance by developing a national migration policy, enhancing institutional capacities for return, readmission and reintegration (RRR), and supporting holistic reintegration pathways. A major innovation under the project is the integration of a\u202fdigitalization component, including the development of an\u202fEconomic Opportunities Digital Tool\u202fand telecom-enabled mechanisms for communication, case follow-up, and access to services.
\nComplementing this, the MPRR programme supports large scale individual reintegration and provides essential operational structures aligned with the integrated approach to reintegration.<\/p>\n
The\u202fReintegration Assistant \u2013 Telecom Partnerships & Digitalization\u202fwill support the digital transformation of the reintegration portfolio and ensure that telecom partnerships, digital tools and digital learning pathways are fully operational and accessible to beneficiaries and partners.<\/p>\n
Responsibilities
\nWork closely with Cameroon\u2019s telecom regulator (ARCEP) to negotiate practical partnerships with the country\u2019s major mobile network operators (MTN, Orange, Nexttel, and Camtel) to secure subsidized smartphones, affordable data packages, dedicated USSD\/SMS services,, and zero-rated (free) access to the digital reintegration platform via USSD, WhatsApp Pro integration, and web\u2014solutions tailored to Cameroon\u2019s mobile-first context, where near-universal mobile penetration contrasts with limited internet access, especially in rural areas (estimated at just 41% as of 2025).
\nOversee the complete distribution process for connectivity kits, including IMEI and serial number registration (building and maintaining a consolidated database), stock management, warranty tracking, and after-sales support \u2014 all in full compliance with IOM supply chain procedures and in close coordination with the on-site asset manager.
\nForecast device and connectivity needs in coordination with the Supply Chain team, based on historical usage patterns and projected returnee inflows across priority regions (Centre, Littoral, West, Adamawa, East, Far North); simultaneously monitor telecom service quality and network coverage in these areas, swiftly addressing outages and performance issues through established rapid-escalation channels with operators in coordination with the Cameroon\u2019s telecom regulator (ART)
\nSystematically map active digital inclusion initiatives in Cameroon\u2014including EU\/Team Europe programs, ITU digital transformation projects, ILO\u2019s digital TVET offerings, and local fintech\/skilling hubs\u2014to identify synergies with reintegration pathways.
\nDesign linkages between returnees and digital upskilling, e-entrepreneurship, e-learning platforms (e.g., Orange Digital Centres, UNDP\u2019s YouthConnekt), and remote coaching systems.
\nDesign a high-impact, low-cost Reintegration Digitalization Roadmap by leveraging existing national digital infrastructure and zero\/low-cost public services (MINPOSTEL, MINJEC, MINEFOP, MINPMEESA) to accelerate IOM reintegration outcomes while cutting operational costs by 30-40%. Deliver a phased rollout plan, zero-cost partnerships, streamlined workflows, and field-ready guidelines fully aligned with the RRR project\u2019s social, economic, and green pillars.
\nRepresent IOM in national digital working groups, UN Network on Migration, and multi-stakeholder forums; lead coordination with EU Delegation, ITU, ILO and private-sector partners to align activities, prevent overlap, organize joint capacity-building events (trainings, demos, field missions), and advocate for migrant-inclusive digital policies.
\nIn coordination with the Information Management and Communications teams, design and produce engaging, non-technical, storytelling-based visibility materials (success stories, infographics, interactive dashboards) that effectively highlight digital reintegration achievements for senior leadership, donors, and civil society, while strictly enforcing IOM data protection, privacy, and beneficiary consent standards at every stage of the process.
