Poste 1 : Programme Assistant Trainee
The Danish Refugee Council assists refugees and internally displaced persons across the globe: we provide emergency aid, fight for their rights, and strengthen their opportunity for a brighter future. We work in conflict-affected areas, along the displacement routes, and in the countries where refugees settle. In cooperation with local communities, we strive for responsible and sustainable solutions. We work toward successful integration and – whenever possible – for the fulfilment of the wish to return home.
The Danish Refugee Council was founded in Denmark in 1956 and has since grown to become an international humanitarian organization with more than 7,000 staff and 8,000 volunteers. Based in Copenhagen (Denmark) and present in forty countries, the Danish Refugee Council is a non-profit-making, politically independent, non-governmental and non-denominational relief organization.
Our vision is a dignified life for all displaced. All our efforts are based on our value compass: humanity, respect, independence and neutrality, participation, and honesty and transparency.

Poste 2 : MMC Program Trainee
| Background
The MMC is a global network consisting of five regional hubs (Asia, East Africa, Europe, West and North Africa, Latin America and Caribbean) and a central unit in Geneva. The MMC is a leading source for independent and high-quality data, research, analysis and expertise on mixed migration. The MMC aims to increase understanding of mixed migration, to positively impact global and regional migration policies, to inform evidence-based protection responses for people on the move and to stimulate forward thinking in public and policy debates on mixed migration. The MMC’s overarching focus is on human rights and protection for all people on the move. The three overall objectives of the MMC are:
The MMC is part of and governed by DRC. MMC regional hubs are hosted within DRC regional offices, but part of the global MMC network. While its institutional link to DRC ensures MMC’s work is grounded in operational reality, it acts as an independent source of data, research, analysis and policy development on mixed migration for policy makers, practitioners, journalists, and the broader humanitarian sector. The position of the MMC does not necessarily reflect the position of DRC. For more information on MMC visit our website (http://www.mixedmigration.org/).
Mixed Migration Mixed migration refers to cross-border movements of people including refugees fleeing persecution and conflict, victims of trafficking and people seeking better lives and opportunities. Motivated to move by a multiplicity of factors, people engaged in such movements have different legal statuses as well as a variety of vulnerabilities. Although entitled to protection under international human rights law, they are exposed to multiple rights violations along their journey. Those in mixed migration flows travel along similar routes, using similar means of travel – often travelling irregularly and wholly or partially assisted by migrant smugglers.
The West and North Africa Region Since May 2022, MMC West and North Africa form one region under the direct supervision of the MMC Regional Manager for the WANA region based in Dakar, Senegal. This reorganization is an opportunity to further streamline data collection and analysis across regions and along the mixed migration routes. MMC WANA is currently directly collecting data in several countries in North and West Africa through its 4Mi project. The MMC is a key research reference engaging with policy makers, (I)NGOs, CSOs at both country-level and through regional mechanisms.
Key research themes include Children and Youth in mobility, smuggling of migrants (SoM), urban migration, use of social media, Returns-Reintegration-Remigration, and climate change and migration. Other thematics might arise and MMC research remains agile to respond to pressing needs for evidence-based programming and policy development.
The MMC regional team is positioned across two offices in Dakar and Tunis, to follow closely activities in each sub-region, engage with key relevant stakeholders, and capitalise on the visibility and credibility gained in past couple of years at the sub-regional level. The MMC regional manager sits in Dakar, along with the Mixed Migration Research Coordinator, the 4Mi Project Manager for West Africa, and the Senegal Research Specialist, and the MMC Program trainee while in Tunis, the 4Mi Project Manager for North Africa works with a team of one Information Management Specialist, the Tunisia Project coordinator, and one Research Specialist. In addition, MMC has staff hosted by DRC country offices where the 4Mi project is operational. The Trainee will be based in Dakar and
