Project Context and Scope
Under the ongoing Government of Japan-funded project, AI-Powered Preparedness and Anticipatory Action, IOM is seeking to strengthen its capacity to anticipate and respond to emerging risks through enhanced foresight, early warning, preparedness and anticipatory action. The initiative focuses on linking conflict, environmental, socio-economic and displacement data to enable earlier risk detection and more timely, evidence-based preparedness and anticipatory action, with initial operationalization in Sudan.
A central component of the project is the integration of conflict-related data and analysis into horizon scanning and signal detection, multi-hazard triggers and alert mechanisms, and analytical products to inform early action. Additionally, the project seeks to ensure that preparedness and anticipatory action are themselves conflict-sensitive, so that early and anticipatory action efforts are context-aware and do not exacerbate existing tensions.
Under the overall guidance of the Director of the Humanitarian Response and Recovery Department (DHRR) and the Chief of the Peace, Recovery, and Solutions Division (PRSD) and under the direct supervision of the Community Stabilization Advisor, the Conflict Advisor will support PRSD’s engagement in foresight, early warning, preparedness, and anticipatory action, including through technical input to the AI-Powered Preparedness and Anticipatory Action project and IOM institutional preparedness and anticipatory action procedures and tools.
