IOM CEP programming seeks to empower the CP Directorate to play a leading and coordinating role with other security actors to roll out the CP model at the local level, while simultaneously intervening directly at the community level to enable local civil society organisations (CSOs) and local community police forums (CPFs) to identify and address context-specific obstacles to stability and sustainable peace. Across both axes, IOM aligns its intervention with the priorities of the Iraqi security sector reform programme (SSRP), which includes a specific emphasis on women, peace and security and gender-sensitive policing through the CP’s Women Empowerment and Protection Action Plan (CP WEP).

The consultant will support the Programme Officer in the overall management of the programme, in providing technical advice to the MoI to advance the community policing model, and in designing the strategic outlook of CP in Iraq.

Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) and the direct supervision of the Programme Officer (Technical Cooperation), the consultant will provide technical support to the Community Engagement and Policing (CEP) unit, to advance the community policing (CP) model in Iraq. The CEP unit provides technical support to the GoI, specifically the Ministry of Interior (MoI) and the CP Directorate, to roll out CP approaches at the local level, foster collaboration between the police and communities, and strengthen trust between citizens and security actors.
