Job Description
Context
IOM works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration, to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration challenges and to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.
The Youth Empowered through Inclusive School and Societies (YESS) project, funded by the UNSecretary General’s Peacebuilding Fund and jointly implemented by UNICEF and IOM under the UN Development Coordinator's guidance in Kosovo, focuses on empowering children and youth aged 13 to 24. This 24-month initiative adopts a bottom-up, community-based approach, centering on schools and surrounding communities as platforms for engaging children, young men, and women, especially from marginalized groups historically excluded from decision-making processes. The project aims to cultivate positive agents of change who promote tolerance, diversity, mutual understanding, and social cohesion among various communities in Kosovo.
The initiative will involve children, youth, their teachers, municipal educational authorities, parents, and broader communities across 10 selected municipalities in Kosovo.
The project aims to foster tolerance, diversity, and social connections within and between communities, despite the challenges of dual education systems and political sensitivities. Rather than aligning with either system, the project will work horizontally with schools, local structures, employing non-formal education programs and youth-led activities to promote change at individual and community levels. Leveraging existing policies on social cohesion and multilingualism, the project aims to empower young people with critical thinking skills, facilitating dialogue, human rights promotion, and resilience to conflict. The comprehensive approach addresses ethnic polarization and other conflict factors, targeting diverse schools and municipalities, and involves incremental implementation considering the political and security climate.
The project, carefully aligned with both local and global methodologies, will impact schools and universities and individuals in selected municipalities, focusing on two main outputs: sensitizing schools and local authorities to create peaceful environments, and enhancing collaboration among youth-led initiatives and stakeholders for community development and peacebuilding. Activities include empowering students, enhancing teachers' capacities, fostering cooperation with local authorities, supporting language learning initiatives, fostering inter-community cooperation, partnering with the private sector, and amplifying youth voices through media and cultural partnerships.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission and direct supervision of the National Project Officer, the incumbent will be responsible for supporting the efficient implementation of the project activities and achievement of expected results.
