GIZ- External Vacancy Announcement ‘#011/2025’

The Better Migration Management III (BMM III) program

The Better Migration Management III (BMM III) program aims to enable national authorities and institutions to facilitate safe, orderly and regular migration and to effectively address and reduce trafficking in human beings and the smuggling of migrants within and from the Horn of Africa using a human rights-based approach. Activities are implemented in three components: migration governance, strengthening effective institutions to address trafficking and smuggling, and protection. BMM focuses on consolidating an integrated and sustainable regional approach to migration management and closely coordinates with other international organisations and projects funded by the EU to ensure synergies and avoid duplication.

As part of the implementation of the BMM program, GIZ has a dual role both to coordinate the activities of the implementing partners based on the agreed-upon annual work plan, as well as to directly implement certain activities. In furtherance of these responsibilities, GIZ works closely with government and non-government offices and officials and must maintain strong, professional relationships with many different national stakeholders in the countries of implementation.
