International Organization for Migration · 🇱🇦 Lao People's Democratic Republic
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is seeking a Consultant to conduct a situational assessment on climate mobility, disaster risk, and response in Lao People's Democratic Republic. The role involves supporting the Migration Policy Unit under the IOM Development Fund project to strengthen national climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction planning. The Consultant will perform analytical research, including stakeholder mapping, data review, and qualitative data collection (interviews and focus group discussions) to understand how climate risks influence livelihood decisions and human mobility patterns. Key responsibilities include developing research tools, conducting desk and literature reviews, analyzing fragmented data sources, and preparing a gender-sensitive analytical report validated by a Technical Working Group and government counterparts. The assignment requires delivering an inception report, draft and final analytical reports, and presentations within a fixed timeline from September 2026 to May 2027. The ideal candidate possesses a Master’s degree in Social Sciences or related fields, proven experience in applied research and data analysis, and familiarity with climate change, migration, or DRR issues in Lao PDR. Strong analytical, reporting, and qualitative research skills are essential, along with fluency in English and the ability to work independently in sensitive environments.

International Organization for Migration · 🇱🇦 Lao People's Democratic Republic
The Field Project Coordinator plays a central role in implementing IOM activities at the provincial and community levels in Oudomxay Province, Lao PDR. Reporting to the National Project Officer and Senior Project Assistant, the incumbent serves as the focal point for capacity building and prevention activities, particularly regarding Trafficking in Persons (TiP) and Child Early Forced Marriage (CEFM). Key responsibilities include coordinating logistical arrangements, maintaining partnerships databases, and facilitating the translation and dissemination of training manuals and outreach materials in English and Lao. The role requires collecting and compiling field data for reporting, including KAP surveys and beneficiary lists, while ensuring timely submission of mission and donor reports. The coordinator must ensure adherence to Do-No-Harm principles, gender-sensitive approaches, and safeguarding standards, especially when working with vulnerable groups such as women, children, and ethnic minorities. Frequent field travel is required to engage with provincial line ministries, district authorities, and community volunteers. The position demands strong facilitation skills, the ability to work independently under pressure, and a deep understanding of protection principles. It bridges the gap between IOM’s Vientiane office and grassroots communities, ensuring project interventions are contextually adapted and responsive to local needs.
