The Associate Resettlement Officer (Anti-Fraud) position will be located at UNHCR Kigali, Branch Office. Under the direct supervision of the Snr. Resettlement Officer, the incumbent¿s primary role is to assist in increasing the operation¿s capacity to address gaps in fraud detection mechanisms ensuring accountability and integrity of the resettlement processes. The incumbent will also take part in assessing cases for resettlement and conducting interviews 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 2021.

Congolese refugees and asylum seekers account for 60.8% of the population while Burundians account for 38.8% and the 0.4% being asylum seekers and refugees of other nationalities, including 364 hosted under the Rwanda Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM) at Gashora Transit Centre. 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 in urban centers (Kigali or Huye) or in Mahama camp. 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.

The Associate Resettlement Officer (Anti-Fraud) position will be located at UNHCR Kigali, Branch Office. Under the direct supervision of the Snr. Resettlement Officer, the incumbent¿s primary role is to assist in increasing the operation¿s capacity to address gaps in fraud detection mechanisms ensuring accountability and integrity of the resettlement processes. The incumbent will also take part in assessing cases for resettlement and conducting interviews 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 2021.
