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
Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is the leading UN Migration Agency. IOM works closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners to promote humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all by providing services and advice to governments and migrants.

Thailand plays a strategic role in regional migration, serving as an origin, transit, and destination country—especially for labor migrants. This position makes it vulnerable to transnational crimes like human trafficking and migrant smuggling. Strengthening passenger profiling at entry points is vital for improving border and human security.

Trafficking methods have rapidly evolved in recent years, extending beyond forced labor and sexual exploitation to include forced criminality, surrogate motherhood, organ removal, and online abuse. In 2024, Thai authorities identified and assisted 644 trafficking victims. Notably, there has been an increasing trend of trafficking cases facilitated through Thailand's air borders, underscoring the need for enhanced screening measures at airports.

Against this backdrop the project "Enhancing the Capacity of Thailand to Combat Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrations for the Purposes of Forced Criminality through Enhanced Border Management" funded by the Government of Norway, IOM aims to strengthen Thailand's capacity to address trafficking in persons (TIP) and migrant smuggling through enhanced border management. This includes providing training sessions to law enforcement, immigration officers and airport staff at air borders to strengthen their capacity on document verification, screening and identification, and inter-agency collaboration and referral to prevent trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants in line with the National Referral Mechanism (NRM).

Under the direct supervision of the National Project Officer (Border Governance) of PBGU, the incumbent will support the implementation of activities, training sessions, and workshops under the Project "Trainings on Identity and Document Verification, Victim of Trafficking Identification and Referral for Point of Entry Officials, Airlines and Airports Operators" funded by the Government of Norway in the IOM Thailand Country Office.

Duties and Responsibilities

ESCAP supports its member States in developing efficient, environmentally sustainable, safe and inclusive transport networks and services, in line with the Regional Action Programme on Sustainable Transport Development in Asia and the Pacific As part of this mandate, ESCAP has been implementing comprehensive capacity development and technical assistance programmes on, among others, sustainable urban transport, electric mobility transition in public transport and inclusive and low-carbon transport. Within the context of these activities, ESCAP is implementing the project "'Strengthening Transport Policies and Workforce Development for a Just Transition to Electric Mobility in Bangkok'" in the period The rapid growth of electric mobility is a transformational shift that promises economic, public health, and environmental benefits to individuals, communities, and businesses. However, as the high-emission transport sector is downscaled and demand for new green skills increases, the transition poses risks to a large proportion of transport workers and communities, who despite being integral to the widespread adoption of electric mobility through future roles in manufacturing, maintenance, and operation, still risk being excluded in the absence of targeted support to develop the skills that will lead to high-quality, safe, and secure employment, especially for women who are underrepresented in the sector. The project 'Strengthening Transport Policies and Workforce Development for a Just Transition to Electric Mobility in Bangkok' aims to enhance the capacity of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to apply Just Transition principles to transport policies. This will enable the BMA to capture the advantages of a growing electric mobility sector while promoting equity and inclusivity, which is crucial as the automotive sector contributes significantly to the economy while also being a major driver of emissions. The project will help the BMA to prioritize targeted areas of support, focusing on workforce development to ensure that the demand for green skills can be met and that opportunities are captured for marginalized individuals who have previously been excluded from the sector due to social and gendered norms. The project also aims to promote the equitable distribution of electric mobility benefits more broadly, so that all communities in Bangkok have convenient access to inclusive low-carbon transport options, such as electric buses and shared mobility services. Against this background, ESCAP Transport Division is seeking to engage an individual contractor, to work at the ESCAP premises, with the objective of supporting project kick-off activities such as but not limited to: stakeholder coordination and communications; event and meetings planning; development of project and reporting materials, preparation and conduct of working group launch session and establishment of regular outreach and feedback mechanism between the Working Group and vulnerable communities, as described below.
