The duty station is Dakar, Senegal, within the Integrated Border Stability Mechanism (IBSM) Secretariat. UNOCT, in partnership with IOM (International Organization for Migration), UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime), and INTERPOL, have established the Integrated Border Stability Mechanism (IBSM) as a multilateral coordinating structure for separate but complementary internationally funded projects in the region that aims at strengthening border governance and security in areas strategically relevant for regional stability.
