Consultancy: Strategic Communication and Graphic Design (CAPACITY Programme)

Introduction

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations and the leading UN agency in the field of migration. Working closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners, IOM promotes humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It saves lives and protects people on the move, drives solutions to displacement, and facilitates pathways for regular migration, while providing services and advice to governments and migrants. 

IOM is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive and supportive workplace where all employees can thrive professionally and feel valued. By creating such an environment, IOM aims to better harness the full potential of migration and strengthen its support to people on the move.

IOM invites candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply and provides reasonable accommodation throughout the recruitment process when required. Learn more about IOM’s workplace culture at IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration

Project Context and Scope

The CAPACITY Programme constitutes Pillar I of the Danish Migration Management Programme (2024–2029), funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The Programme supports partner governments in strengthening migration governance systems, institutional capacities and regional cooperation mechanisms to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration through migration management, dialogue and coordination, and rights-based return, readmission and sustainable reintegration. The Programme is implemented through Country Offices in Algeria, Lebanon, Morocco, Nigeria, Somalia and Syria, complemented by regional and cross-regional interventions across the Middle East and North Africa and East and Horn of Africa regions.

As implementation advances, the Programme requires a series of strategic communication, visibility, reporting and knowledge products to support donor engagement, senior-level advocacy, programme positioning and internal awareness. Existing programme materials, including presentations, reports, flash updates, dashboards and communication products, provide a strong foundation but require consolidation, refinement and adaptation for different audiences and purposes. 

Under the direct supervision of the Programme Manager, CAPACITY, and in close coordination with relevant IOM Denmark personnel, participating Country Offices and other relevant stakeholders, the consultant will support the development of strategic programme communication and reporting products aimed at strengthening programme visibility, communicating results and achievements, and facilitating engagement with donor representatives, government counterparts, senior IOM leadership and other stakeholders.
