- Applying the methodology and producing a complete country chapter serving as a template for the remaining profiles

- Documenting lessons from the pilot and proposing revisions to the methodology and tools

- Preparing a practical training package and supporting materials on the application of the methodology

- Delivering a virtual regional training following the training package developed

- Revising the tools based on feedback from the training, if any

- Providing technical guidance to IOM staff during primary data collection and drafting for Algeria, Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia

- Reviewing the four draft chapters for methodological consistency, evidence, data limitations, and comparability

- Providing consolidated comments and supporting final revisions

- Supporting country and regional validation and documenting substantive feedback

- Producing final implementation guidance with annexed tools, templates, evidence standards, and quality assurance procedures

- Preparing a final reusable training package for future application by IOM teams

- Supporting technical validation with relevant Regional Office and Headquarters counterparts, incorporating consolidated feedback, and participating in a dissemination webinar for the final package
