Operational Context

General Background
As of 30 September 2021, Rwanda was hosting 127,163 refugees and asylum seekers. 61% of this caseload is predominantly composed of refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), many of whom are living in a protracted refugee situation. The remaining population are Burundians, and persons of concern evacuated from Libya to Rwanda under the Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM). 91% of the population of concern are camp based. The Government of Rwanda (GoR), through the Ministry in charge of Emergency Management (MINEMA), leads the refugee response in the country with UNHCR and partners providing direct operational support, capacity development and technical advice to the local authorities. Over 90% of the Congolese population in Rwanda originate from conflict zones in Eastern DRC (mainly North and South Kivu). While all durable solutions options are under consideration, the COVID19 pandemic and the continued insecurity in the eastern regions of DRC entail that prospects for voluntary repatriation in safety and dignity remain limited. Approximately 48,000 Congolose refugees have lived in the country for over 10 years. Some have been born in Rwanda and lived their entire lives as refugees. Burundian refugees reside primarily on Mahama refugee camp or in urban centers (Kigali or Huye). Since August 2020, Burundians have begun to voluntarily repatriate to Burundi. UNHCR is also engaged in supporting the return of Rwandans mainly from DRC and Congo Brazzaville. UNHCR works closely with its main government counterpart the Ministry in Charge of Emergency Management (MINEMA), the UN agencies and NGO partners. Rwanda is a CRRF country and continues to maintain open door policy. Considerable efforts are being made to promote & support to the implementation of the 2016 Leaders (Obama) Summit commitments to enhance refugee inclusion. Cash Based Interventions in food aid, energy and NFI have been rolled out and eligible refugees receive necessary support through this mechanism. The Associate Resettlement & Complementary Pathways Officer position will be located at UNHCR Kabarore Field Unit. Under the direct supervision of the Associate Resettlement and Complementary Pathways Officer, the incumbent¿s primary role is to support in resettlement case processing to attain the allocated resettlement quotas. The incumbent will take part in assessing cases for resettlement and conducting resettlement case interviews and reviews, as well as monitoring procedural compliance and quality of case submissions. The incumbent will also provide continuous support to resettlement activities by ensuring that resettlement polices are correctly implemented and that the operation is supported in establishing comprehensive protection and solutions strategies. The incumbent’s role may involve managerial responsibilities in supervising, coaching and training junior staff, and assisting in implementing organizational objectives and priorities. This position is currently funded through end of June 2022. |
