Project Context and Scope

As part of its efforts to promote regular, safe and informed migration, IOM is supporting the Government of Burundi in preparing candidates for labour migration through the development of pre-departure orientation programmes.

To support this process, IOM wishes to recruit a national consultant in charge of developing communication and information materials adapted to the Burundian context and based on international standards.
