International Organization for Migration Job Vacancies for 2026

Project Scope and Context :

In order to better integrate climate-related migration, displacement, and planned relocation into Sri Lanka’s national and subnational climate and disaster-related policies, strategies, governance, and financing frameworks, a policy analysis will be conducted. This analysis will specifically build upon national research, assessments, and strategic roadmaps that have already been developed under this project and related initiatives. Building on this analysis, the consultancy will concentrate on finding and operationalizing workable entry points for incorporating human mobility considerations into disaster risk reduction and climate change policies, including their implementation and investment planning procedures across pertinent sectoral and national frameworks (e.g. national climate and disaster policy processes).

The assignment will support the creation of practical recommendations, policy integration pathways, and a governance-focused pipeline of priority actions to strengthen the inclusion of climate mobility within national commitments on enhancing climate resilience through focused policy assessment and organized consultations with the government and important stakeholders.
The results will help the implementation of climate mobility priorities in Sri Lanka by informing a policy-oriented high-level outcome and contributing to a National Dialogue on Climate Mobility.
