Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya IOM Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Project Context and Scope

Managing borders is a complex task due to the multitude of threats including transnational organized crime and terrorism faced by countries globally. The Government of Kenya has recognized the importance of a coordinated and integrated approach to border security and control, emphasizing the coordination among various governmental bodies to optimize the national response to these threats.

At the national level, state authorities have taken various measures to enhance border security to counter organized crime including terrorism through legislative reforms, capacity development and deployment of specialized technology and tools to identify and intercept threats while ensuring smooth facilitation of legitimate trade and travel.

On legislative reforms, the Government has taken various steps in enhancing border security by adopting a whole of Government (multi-agency) approach especially through the Security Laws (Amendment) Act, 2014 which established the Border Control and Coordination operations Committee, Border Management Secretariat at the national level and the Border Management Committees and Joint Operations Centres at the Ports of Entry and Exit (POEs). These platforms provide a conducive environment for sharing of data and information for joint decision making.

Additionally, there are other national legislation that include elements on border management and security including Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, Cap. 170, Prevention on Terrorism Act, Cap. 59B, Counter Trafficking in Persons Act, Cap. 61, Public Health Act, Cap. 242, and Prevention of Organized Crime Act, Cap. 59. There are also specific legislations that govern the various Border Control and Operations Co-Ordination Committee (BCoCC) agencies including Directorate of Immigration Services, Kenya Revenue Authority, National Police Service Etc.

Similarly, at the regional level Kenya is also part of various regional economic communities and therefore various legislative frameworks with aspects of border management and security also apply including EAC Customs Management Act, 2004 and Common Market Protocol, 2010, AU Border Programme, IGAD Protocol on the Free Movement of Persons, 2021 and others.
