Job Description

IntroductionEstablished 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 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.iom.int/iom-workplace-culture"><a target="_blank" rel="nofollow">IOM workplace culture | International Organization for Migration</a></a><div>  </div>Project Context and ScopeThis consultancy is implemented under the “A Ghanaian European Safe and Prosperous People’s Mobility (ATUU)" project, which seeks to strengthen migration governance at the local level through functional, inclusive, and sustainable coordination mechanisms.Effective migration governance at the local level requires functional coordination mechanisms that bring together government institutions, technical departments, civil society actors, and other relevant stakeholders. To this end, Local Technical Committees (LTCs) have been established to support migration management, migrant protection, labour migration governance, ethical recruitment, and referral pathways at the local level.Through ATUU project support, the LTCs have been formally established and provided with initial capacity-building and technical training. However, the sustainability and effectiveness of these structures depend on consistent technical coordination, systematic follow-up on decisions, proper documentation, and strong linkages with national migration governance mechanisms.In the Dormaa Central Municipal Assembly (DCMA), migration dynamics, particularly labour migration, internal mobility, return and reintegration, and migrant protection risks, necessitate coordinated, locally grounded, and multi-sectoral responses. To address these needs, a Local Technical Committee (LTC) on migration management has been established in DCMA as a multi-stakeholder coordination platform.While the DCMA LTC has received initial project support, including formal establishment and capacity-building for its members, its effective functioning and long-term sustainability require dedicated technical and operational coordination. This includes ensuring regular meetings, follow-up on agreed actions, documentation of processes and outcomes, and effective linkages with national-level migration coordination structures.This consultancy will provide hands-on technical, coordination, and operational support to the DCMA LTC to ensure its effective functioning and contribution to improved migration management outcomes at the local level. The assignment will be implemented under the coordination of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in close collaboration with the DCMA and other relevant government counterparts and stakeholders.<div>  </div><div>Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing</div><div> <span class="NormalTextRun SCXW38281534 BCX8" data-ccp-parastyle="Text 2" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;

Working in Ghana

Ghana is West Africa's most stable formal labour market — small relative to Nigeria but better-organised, with strong professional bodies (ICAG, IIA, CIPD Ghana) and a long-established graduate trainee culture in banking, telecoms, and FMCG. Accra concentrates most formal hiring; Tema and Kumasi are secondary hubs, and Takoradi has grown with offshore oil-and-gas.

My Job Concierge tracks live roles across banking, telecoms, FMCG, oil-and-gas, NGOs, mining, FinTech, and the growing Ghanaian startup scene.

Interview processes are formal at large employers — typically a written test, a competency interview, and a final panel. Multinationals (Unilever, Nestlé, MTN, Standard Chartered) run structured graduate trainee assessments. Punctuality matters, dress code is conservative, and hierarchical etiquette (addressing senior interviewers as 'Sir' / 'Madam') is the norm.
