Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
As a Programme Officer for the Joint Labour Migration Programme (JLMP) within COMESA, you’ll coordinate regional labour mobility initiatives across Southern and Eastern Africa. Day-to-day, you’ll liaise with government focal points, track project budgets, and draft policy briefs on labour migration governance. Expect frequent travel to member states to monitor field activities and build partnerships with trade unions and employers’ associations.

Key skills to highlight
Strong candidates demonstrate expertise in labour migration policy, project cycle management (PCM), and multi-stakeholder coordination. Fluency in English and French is a major plus—Zambia’s location makes cross-border work common. Show proven experience with M&E frameworks and donor reporting, ideally with UN or AU agencies.

Taf4All CV tip
Tailor your CV’s “Professional Experience” section to emphasize regional labour migration projects, not just general migration work. For each role, list one concrete outcome—e.g., “Designed a skills-matching database for 500+ COMESA migrant workers.” Avoid generic phrases like “supported implementation”; use numbers and regional specifics.

Before you apply
Verify this posting via IOM’s official careers portal (https://careers.iom.int). IOM never charges application fees or requests bank details. If you’re contacted by a “recruiter” asking for payment, report it to the IOM Zambia office immediately.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
