وظيفة شاغرة لدى المجلس اللاجئين الدنماركي (Research Consultant)

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC-Libya)(Research Consultant)





We are looking for a highly qualified Research Consultant to conduct a report on migrants women's living conditions in Libya.
Who are we?
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organisation founded in 1956 that works in more than 30 countries throughout the world. DRC fulfills its mandate by providing direct assistance to conflict-affected and vulnerable populations – refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in the conflict areas of the world; and by advocating on behalf of conflict-affected populations internationally. DRC has been working in the Maghreb region, including Libya, Tunisia and Algeria since 2011.   
 DRC is currently implementing a Mixed Migration Monitoring Mechanism Initiative (4Mi) in Libya. 4Mi aims at improving data collection and more authoritative analysis to strengthen the protection of people on the move in Libya. 4Mi collects data on the conditions of mixed migration movements across various regions through in-depth interviews with migrants. It aims to illustrate the conditions and protection risks faced by people across the Sahara Desert and in Libya. Analysing the data collected through 4Mi allows to shed light on the protection concerns faced by people on the move.
 4Mi utilizes informal monitoring methods using existing local agencies, key informants or localized stakeholders (community based agencies etc.) at key hubs and ‘hot’ spots through which migrant smuggling and migrant movement occurs. Innovative digital data gathering technology is used to maximize veracity of data and GPS verification of data sources.
In the context of specific protection activities from DRC targeting women and girls in mixed migration flows in Libya, 4Mi is producing two short report/briefing papers focusing on migrant women’s living conditions in Libya.
