Organizational Context and Scope

Following the rapid political shift in Damascus on 8 December 2024, Syria is undergoing a critical period of transformation. These developments have further intensified displacement across the country and complicated the dynamics of return, placing increased pressure on already vulnerable communities.

In response to the evolving situation, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has re-established its presence in Damascus and is rapidly scaling up emergency operations across the country, while maintaining cross-border assistance in northwest Syria. To meet urgent humanitarian needs, this response aims to assist 1.1 million people with life -saving support, including shelter, winterisation, health care, protection services, camp coordination and management, and early recovery assistance.

Under the overall supervision of the Program Officer (Durable Solutions and direct supervision of the National Officer (Livelihoods), the Programme Associate – Livelihoods will be responsible for the implementation of livelihoods project activities supporting the Country Office (CO) and field operations.
