About The Position

Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, 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. IOM is committed to ensuring a workplace where all employees can thrive professionally, while working towards harnessing the full potential of migration.

The project aims to enhance individual and communal mental health and psychosocial well-being by mitigating the negative psychological impacts of the conflict and support efforts to promote social cohesion, peace and recovery during the post-conflict period. In turn, a sense of hope, solidarity and mutual support within and between communities will be fostered, potentially leading to reduced tensions, violence prevention, a restored social fabric, and promotion of long-term stability. Through the activities outlined in this project, IOM aims to prevent further distress and promote psychosocial well-being, while also advancing broader outcomes that support peace and community recovery, especially in post-conflict settings.

In line with the project needs, IOM Lebanon will be developing needs assessment reports, project activities overview, visibility and information, education and communication material relevant to the project outputs.

The Consultant will contribute to the design of the reports, IEC, visibility materials and other products in line with IOM publications guidelines and manuals.
