Job Purpose: This year our student network voted to campaign on the issue of migrants rights, making this, from mid 2016, one of our two core campaigns across the country. Now we are looking for someone with experience in campaigning for migrants rights to help us develop strategy, raise money and develop partnerships for the new campaign. It's an exciting role for someone who wants to help build a powerful campaign which could last anything from three to ten years, and hopefully make a big difference to the political landscape for migrants. This campaign will be run by one of the largest and most active campaigning networks in the country. You will work with key activists from this network to develop the campaign. This is a 2 days/week fixed term contract, ending 1 September 2016. However, we are hoping to secure further funding to staff the campaign for a longer period and for more than 2 days/week. If funding is secured and to fund a period that starts before the end of this contract, this opportunity will be first offered to the person in this post.
Responsible to: You will be assigned a line manager from the management circle and you will be responsible to the Management Team.

Du fait de la crise économique traversée par le pays depuis plusieurs années, le fait migratoire a pris une ampleur considérable, s’exprimant de manière spectaculaire à travers l’émigration clandestine dans les années 2000. L’assaut des côtes espagnoles par des pirogues artisanales lourdement chargées de jeunes partis des côtes sénégalaises a été ainsi un pic considérable du phénomène. De fait, même si l’Europe accueille de plus en plus de candidats à l’émigration, la destination principale pour les migrants originaires de la région de Diourbel et des régions limitrophes a toujours été et demeure l’Italie. C’est pourquoi ce pays a été le premier où des solutions à la question de la migration ont été investies.
C’est ainsi que des associations de migrants appuyés par des organisations de la société civile et des chambres consulaires qui y ont pris des initiatives pour établir le lien entre migration et développement, et créer les conditions d’un réinvestissement des moyens et capacités acquis par les migrants au niveau de leur pays d’accueil au profit de leurs territoires et pays d’origine. A cet égard, les autorités locales sont appelées à contribuer aux efforts fournis par les migrants individuellement ou en association pour accéder au financement de leurs projets. En effet, face à la crise économique qui frappe l’Europe et fragilise les emplois non salariés, les migrants sont majoritairement investis vers la mise en œuvre de projets propres avec ou sans perspective immédiate de retour au pays d’origine. Cette perspective reste cependant « plombée » par la question de l’accès au financement auprès des Fonds dédiés et/ou des institutions de financement du fait de l’exigence de la garantie dont ne disposent pas du tout l’écrasante majorité des migrants.
La promotion du secteur privé et son implication directe dans le développement local, à travers l’investissement, l’emploi, la création de richesses et la valorisation des ressources locales.
