change impacts on livelihoods, communities and affected population.
Under the leadership of the DHRR RTS and together with other Regional Thematic Units

protecting individuals on the move, driving solutions to displacement, and facilitating regular
pathways for migration. Under the DHRR RTU, the Regional PCCA Officer identifies regional

development, and supports cross-thematic collaboration internally. Externally, the Regional
PCCA Officer also provides advocacy, policy, and programmatic recommendations regarding
preparedness and climate change adaptation to regional entities, Member States, and relevant
migration fora, spearheaded by IOM’s RO and CO leadership. The Regional PCCA Officer will

4. As delegated by the DHRR RTS, facilitate and coordinate the review, endorsement, and
monitoring of project proposals developed by COs in the Region in line with the responsibilities
of the DHRR RTU.
5. Maintain regular coordination with relevant HQ Departments, Divisions and Offices, as well as
