Section IV. Terms of Reference

IOM seeks to recruit a qualified consultant to support the project entitled “Comprehensive

Border Assessments and Immigration Policy for Enhancing Capacity on Integrated Border

Management in Zimbabwe” that is being implemented in Zimbabwe. The project aims to

contribute towards the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ)’s capacity building efforts to better

manage migration. The consultant will be responsible for the drafting of a National

Immigration policy, based on comprehensive national stakeholder consultations, in particular

with the Government and the lead coordinating Ministry; the Ministry of Home Affairs.

1.0 Background:

The Department of Immigration has requested technical assistance on the formulation of the

National Immigration Policy coupled with the capacity building support to improve on

existing border management systems. The International Organization for Migration with

support from the International Development Fund (IDF) in response to the request from the

Government of Zimbabwe is implementing the “Comprehensive Border Assessments and

Immigration Policy for Enhancing Capacity on Integrated Border Management in

Zimbabwe”.

The project comprises of two outcomes. Component I: Strengthening the GoZ’s leadership

on migration management through assistance in the development of a multi-sectoral National

Immigration Policy; Component II: Enhancing the capacity of migration management

authorities on Integrated Border Management (IBM) through comprehensive border

assessments and focused capacity building trainings.

The Development of a National Immigration Policy has been identified as a priority by the

Ministry of Home Affairs. The Ministry of Labour is in the process of developing a National

Labour Migration Policy, which predominately focuses on the employment of Zimbabwean

nationals abroad. The National Diaspora Policy another policy domain which is under

development.

In order to complement and build upon these existing migration relevant policies, the

Ministry of Home Affairs envisions the development of a National Immigration policy that

will focus on four main policy domains; the employment of foreign nationals, tourism,

investment and preservation of national security. The policy shall be developed in close

coordination with those Ministries responsible for; trade, tourism, employment and

investment, with the objective of ensuring full policy coherence and synchronization.

The new policy is expected to address the immigration dimensions of tourism, the

employment of foreign nationals and investors including entry, residence, stay and return.

Close coordination will be required with the Ministry of Labour to determine the skills

required and other labour market requirements so as to define the types and duration of

permits granted. It is also expected that the new policy should seek to address broader

migration management issues, including irregular migration, migrant smuggling, and migrant

health.

20

The development of a new Immigration Policy will also provide an opportunity for the

Government of Zimbabwe to put into place more contemporary measures on immigration

which can harness the contribution made by highly skilled and skilled migrants and of

investors, while at the same time ensuring security concerns and effective border

management. The elaboration of a new Immigration Policy will also require the incorporation

of bilateral and regional considerations including cross-border collaboration and alignment

with SADC and COMESA frameworks.

The Immigration policy that is developed is required to consider health aspects, be

development orientated and consider environmental and social impacts. Consideration shall

also be made of existing good practice in the region such as the Namibian technical working

group that manages migration management issues, and the ongoing development of a

migration policy in Angola and Botswana which IOM is also supporting in the respective

countries.

IOM therefore seeks qualified and experienced consultants prepare in full consultation with

identified stakeholders, a National Immigration Policy document which shall be submitted to

the Ministry Of Home Affairs. The consultant shall;

1. Conduct a desk review of existing documentation, policies, and plans of action and

institutional information relevant to the formulation of the new Immigration Policy in

Zimbabwe

2. Assess synergies with existing migration management frameworks and migration

related policies, strategies and laws.

3. Identify and consult with key stakeholders including individuals from government

counterparts and relevant stakeholders in government ministries/departments on

issues relevant to each policy domain.

4. Draft the national immigration policy based on the consultations with the key

stakeholders.

5. Conduct a workshop on the development of the policy and a review workshop after

the draft workshop has been presented to IOM.

6. Revise and finalize the draft policy based on the inputs from the national

consultations prior to the adoption and launch workshop.

7. Ensure that the project is completed successfully in accordance with the agreed work

plan, outputs and timeline against deliverables.
