JOB PURPOSE 

The Livelihoods & Reintegration Expert will provide strategic and technical leadership for the design, planning, implementation, and quality assurance of integrated livelihoods and reintegration interventions under the project “Socioeconomic Reintegration of Al-Hol Returnees and Vulnerable Community Members in Salah al-Din”, aiming to support the sustainable socioeconomic reintegration of Al-Hol returnees and vulnerable host community members in Salah al-Din.
