Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE: 

The Bali Process on People Smuggling, Trafficking in Persons and Related Transnational Crime (Bali Process) is a non-binding and state-driven process involving 49 members (countries and international agencies), including the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC), as well as a number of observer countries and international agencies who participate in this voluntary forum. More information about the Bali Process is available at www.baliprocess.net. 

The RSO was established in 2012 to facilitate the operationalisation of the Regional Cooperation Framework (RCF) to reduce irregular migration in the Asia and Pacific region. The RSO aims to support and strengthen practical cooperation on refugee protection and international migration, including human trafficking and people smuggling, and other components of migration management in the region. The RSO is co-managed by the Australian and Indonesian Governments. More information is available at www.rso.baliprocess.net.

Technical consultancy to support the assessment, organisation, and development of CTIP content and practical tools for the Countering trafficking in Persons (CTIP) Roadmap website, a digital platform supporting Bali Process Member States in implementing counter-trafficking in persons frameworks.

The Regional Support Office (RSO) of the Bali Process is implementing a project to restructure and operationalise the Roadmap for CTIP website into a guided digital CTIP Navigator. The CTIP Navigator is intended to support Bali Process Member States to plan, implement, monitor, document, and assess progress across legal frameworks, implementation and coordination mechanisms, and identification, protection, and referral systems, including in response to emerging forms of human trafficking.

While the existing Roadmap brings together a wide range of CTIP-related documents and reference materials, it primarily serves as a repository and does not adequately support practical implementation. The content is fragmented, uneven in depth, and lacks a coherent set of practical tools that policymakers and practitioners can readily use to support implementation of CTIP legislation.

This consultancy supports the core substantive component of the CTIP Navigator project. The focus is on content assessment, organisation, and development of tools. The consultant will work closely and report to the Programme Manager for Counter-Trafficking in Persons (CTIP) to assess existing materials, organise reference and learning resources, develop practical tools to guide, monitor and evaluate implementation, and validate content through consultations with selected Bali Process Member States.

The consultancy will involve not only gathering and organising CTIP's existing resources but also developing, validating, and finalising content for publication in the CTIP Navigator.
