Contexte :
In response to decades of crisis and insecurity, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) started implementing an ambitious security sector reform programme (2002), including a community policing doctrine (2010). In support of the two Police Reform Action Plans (2012-2016 and 2020-2024), various police reform and community policing projects have been implemented with international funding. The commitment of the DRC Government to this process is demonstrated by its adoption of the required policies and documents on ethics, reform and community engagement for the institutional development of the police.
In support of these governmental efforts, IOM has been implementing police reform projects, since 2009. These have notably included consecutive phases of the community policing and police professionalization projects, as well as mining police projects in six different provinces.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) in Kinshasa and the direct supervision of the Security Sector Reform (SSR) Programme Manager, the successful candidate will be responsible for the management, implementation, budget oversight, staff supervision, and support to strategic development of the police reform project in Mbuji Mayi and Lubumbashi, funded by the US Government’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).
