Overview of Position
As part of Our client's Migration Management mandate, the Community Stabilization Unit (CSU) contributes preventing and addressing drivers of irregular migration in Somalia. Through interventions like the RSS-ERI project, CSU works to stabilize conflict-affected areas by enhancing safety and security governance, thus ultimately contributing to facilitate regular migration pathways. To bolster efforts in overseeing initiatives focussed on institutionalizing the Collaborative, Safety and Security Framework (CSSF) – as relevant to the implementation of the FCDO RSS-ERI programme – and to strategically expand support to relevant national institutions towards enhancing safety and security governance capacities, CSU is looking to hire a national project assistant with experience in this field.

The CSSF aims at identifying, preventing and addressing the complex safety and security challenges prevalent in Somalia, thus ultimately making headways towards rebuilding the social contract between State Actors and their communities. This programmatic approach seeks to foster strategic collaboration, build institutional capacities at different levels, empower communities and develop joint responsibilities to collectively prevent and address safety and security concerns in an effective and sustainable manner.
