The International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC) is a technical cooperation programme of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). The aim of IPEC is the progressive elimination of child labour, especially its worst forms. The political will and commitment of individual governments to address child labour, in cooperation with employers’, workers’ and civil society organisations, is the basis for IPEC action. IPEC support at the country level is based on a phased, multi-sector strategy that includes strengthening national capacities to deal with the issue, policy and legislation harmonisation, improvement of the knowledge base, raising awareness on the negative consequences of child labour, promoting social mobilisation against it and implementing demonstrative direct action programmes to address child labour.

The current IPEC project, “Moving towards a child labour free project (2011-2014),” aims to build on the outcomes of the previous Country Programme, as well as the CHF International child labour project, also funded by the US Department of Labor (USDOL), entitled “Combating Exploitive Child Labour through Education (CECLE)” which was in place from 2008 to 2012. It was working in close cooperation with the current USDOL-funded project of Save the Children International as an upstream complement to the downstream focus of Save the Children. Therefore, the IPEC project focuses mainly on policy level interventions, including capacity building, to create an enabling environment to support the implementation of policy and legislative frameworks. It has four immediate objectives:

1. By the end of the project, a mechanism for coordinating action to combat child labour at national and district levels and link child labourers and their families to improved educational provision and social protection will have been established.
2. By the end of the project, trends in child labour will be estimated, specific aspects of child labour in Jordan will have been researched and conclusions will have been used to inform policy decisions and guide direct action.
3. By the end of the project, the capacity of ILO constituents to implement the National Framework to Combat Child Labour will have been enhanced.
4. By the end of the project, the elimination of child labour and the promotion of youth employment will have been mainstreamed into the national development policy frameworks.

Jordan Project activities for good practices documentation

The Jordan project has supported the implementation of activities at national and governorate levels since December 2010.

Over the period efforts to identify good practices have been going and Table 1 highlights those that have emerged at different levels. In mid-2014 a documentation of good practice from implementing the National Framework on Child Labour was conducted and the draft report is available (Please see the list of Document). This report covers only the first phase of the project. In the second phase of the project, following the donor approval in early 2015, a number of new deliverables have been added. These need to be reviewed and included in the project good practice collection, as described in the project Activity 1.5.8: “Elaboration of the project’s good practice and lessons-learned documentation to include the extension period and new activities of the project.”

This Terms of Reference aims at (1) documenting the project emerging good practices and lessons-learned based on the list of Outputs provided below with particular Output 1.2, Output, Output 1.5, Output 2.4, and Output 3.6; (2) consolidating the findings in point (1) with the emerging good practice and lessons-learned documented prior to 2015 (the studies and their titles will be provided in the list of attachments); and, (3) presenting the final report as one consolidated volume.

Purpose and objectives of the Consultancy

Therefore the main objective of this exercise is to document and consolidate good practices emerging from the Jordan Project activities on elimination of child labour.

Specifically, the objectives are;

1. To make available a tangible experience on the project itself in terms of a process, usefulness, feasibility and replicability etc;
2. To present information regarding all the phases and stages of the practice in the Regional Conference on Good Practice to be organized tentatively in October 2015;
3. To share this in a documentation with various users while highlighting the facilitating factors as well as limiting ones, the opportunities, challenges, difficulties, etc.

This documentation will be essential to development partners and the government for replicating the experience in other settings within the country.

Reference No: JO-CL 2015/6 Developing Bylaws for the Juvenile Law

Project title:Moving Towards a Child labour Free Jordan

Position Title:National Consultant – Developing Bylaws for the Juvenile Law

Contract type:Short term consultancy

Duty Station: Amman

Duration of Post: 30 working days within 8 weeks from mid- November 2015

Deadline of application: 10 November 2015

Background

With the support of the project, The National Framework to Combat Child Labour (NFCL) was developed and adopted by the Jordanian government in August 2011. This policy framework outlines the roles and responsibilities for the Ministries of Labour (MOL), Social Development (MOSD) and Education (MOE), through a specific referral mechanism, to identify cases of child labourers, withdraw them from work, provide them with appropriate education and social services and follow up cases through monitoring.

Till late 2014 the core responsible body to co-ordinate all child labour related issues was the Child Labour Unit (CLU) at MOL, but since the Government of Jordan adopted the new Juvenile law number (32) for 2014, new roles and responsibilities in face of working children was imposed on the MOSD mandate when dealing with child labour. More specifically, article 33 that stipulates: A person requiring protection or care is any individual to whom any of the following conditions apply:

a) If he/she is under the care of a person who is not qualified therefor because that person is a habitual criminal, or an alcohol, drugs or psychotropic substances addict, or morally corrupt, or if he has been convicted of an indecent offense against any of his sons, daughters or those under his care.

b) If he/she undertakes acts related toprostitution, lechery, corrupting conduct or gambling, or any illegal acts serving those who undertake these acts; if he/she mingles with those known for their misbehaviour, or has been abused by any of these people, including begging or soliciting alms on the streets.

c) If he/she has no settled residence or sleeps in the streets.

d) If he/she does not have a lawful means of living, or has no trusted provider and both or either of his/her parents are dead, imprisoned or absent.

e) If he/she is of bad conduct and is not under the authority of his/her father, guardian, custodian or mother; or if the guardian is dead or ineligible.

f)If he/she solicits in the streets, even though he/she conceals such soliciting by any means.

g) If he/she is a vendor or garbage scavenger.

h) If he/she has been exposed to intentional mischief by one of his/her parents in a manner that exceeds the disciplinary kinds permissible by law and general custom.

i) If he/she is at great risk if he/she remains with his/her family.

j)If he/she has not completed twelve years of age and has committed a misdemeanor or felony.

k)If he/she is a working juvenile contrary to valid legislation.

.

This new law will expand the areas of responsibility of the MOSD in terms of addressing child labour at different levels. Under the previous law, the MOSD was only responsible for dealing with begging involving both adults and juveniles. The new law now refers to all forms of child labour under its ‘protection list’ and will effectively institutionalise the NFCL to ensure a more systematic and systemic approach. In effect the new areas of protecting all working children, including those engaged in the Hazardous and the Worst Forms of Child Labour, as stipulated in article 74 of the labour Law No. 8 for the year 1996 and the ILO convention 182 on the Worst Forms of child Labour for the year 1999, that was endorsed by the Government of Jordan in 2000. The new amended Juvenile Law will require new mechanisms and by-laws to be adopted by MOSD to fully abide to the new set of rules mentioned above.

Accordingly, MOSD has requested the ILO’s assistance to draft by-laws and implementation mechanisms, in order to fully address its responsibilities towards protecting child labourers in Jordan as reflected in this law.

Purpose of the Assignment

The purpose of the assignment is to assist the legal departments within MOSD in specific, and all concerned legal bodies in Jordan, regarding the drafting of implementation mechanisms and by-laws needed to fully apply the new Juvenile Law mentioned above, and specifically elaborate the protective measures stipulated in articles, 34, 35 and 36 to be fully addressed for categories of juveniles specified under sub articles (b), (f), (g) and (k) of Article 33 (referred in these ToR as ‘the articles in focus)in the Juvenile Law No (32) for the year 2014

Key Tasks and Activities (include):

2. Conduct an analysis to ascertain the legal and social definitions scope and implications of the Juvenile Law with particular focus on articles and categories mentioned above;
3. Review and map existing institutional mechanisms that can contribute to the implementation of the ‘articles in focus’

5. Facilitate a one day workshop to present and validate the proposed implementation mechanism (logistics of the workshop will be covered by ILO separately).
6. carry out necessary modifications and develop and submit the final proposal

Description du projet

Le projet d’appui à la mise en œuvre de la Déclaration de l’OIT relative aux principes et droits fondamentaux au travail (BIT/PAMODEC) a été lancé le 4 Mai 2000 et connait sa troisième phase. Le projet couvre aujourd’hui plusieurs pays francophone situés en Afrique de l’Ouest, du Centre, du nord et Madagascar: Algérie, Bénin, Burkina Faso, Cameroun, République Centrafricaine, Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Guinée-Bissau, Guinée Equatoriale, Madagascar, Mali, Maroc, Mauritanie, Niger, Sénégal, Tchad, Togo, Tunisie. Le projet devait initialement prendre fin le 31 décembre 2014 mais a été prolongé au 31 mars 2016, sur accord du bailleur (Gouvernement français), sans augmentation budgétaire. En respect des procédures de la coopération multi–bilatérale du BIT, le projet doit faire l’objet d’une évaluation indépendante finale.

Cette évaluation, qui sera faite conformément aux normes applicables dans le système des Nations Unies et sur la base des lignes directrices du BIT, permettra de dégager des recommandations à prendre en compte dans des projets futures. Les conclusions seront présentées au Comité de pilotage France/BIT dont la date est programmée pour la deuxième moitié de février 2015, à Dakar.

Depuis 2000, le Bureau international du Travail a mis en œuvre un programme de coopération technique destiné à aider les pays bénéficiaires et leurs partenaires sociaux à ratifier et mettre en œuvre les Principes et droits fondamentaux au travail énoncés par la Déclaration de 1998.

Le projet PAMODEC III se proposait de consolider les acquis de la première et de la seconde phase, de poursuivre les activités relatives à la liberté syndicale et à la discrimination déjà engagées et d’étendre la couverture géographique du programme à de nouveaux pays (Union pour la Méditerranée).

Ce projet appuie financièrement le programme IPEC pour la mise en œuvre de la Déclaration de l’OIT notamment par l’application par les pays bénéficiaires des mesures prévues dans les Conventions 138 et 182 de l’OIT. Enfin, ce projet travaille en étroite collaboration et appuie le programme ADMITRA de modernisation de l’Administration et de l’Inspection du Travail.

Pamodec III entendait, grâce aux expérimentations menées dans certains pays, en faire bénéficier le plus grand nombre, en donnant la priorité aux réunions sous-régionales et régionales afin d’échanger et de partager les expériences et bonnes pratiques, et mettre à la disposition des acteurs des outils pédagogiques et pratiques leur permettant de mieux prendre en charge ces principes et droits fondamentaux au travail dans leurs activités quotidiennes. C’est cette approche qui justifie que les activités nationales sont, sauf sur la discrimination dans l’emploi et la profession, considérablement réduites dans les pays.

En ce qui concerne l’économie informelle, le programme soutient des initiatives, en appui et lien avec ADMITRA, pour favoriser l’intervention des inspecteurs du travail dans l’économie informelle et pour échanger sur leurs expériences et les bonnes pratiques développées sur tous les continents. Ceci fera l’objet d’une publication/guide qui se voudra la plus opérationnelle possible.

Cette troisième phase doit également être l’occasion de progresser largement vers deux objectifs essentiels pour la pérennité du programme et pour son effectivité: son appropriation par chacun des pays bénéficiaires et l’accroissement du pourcentage de femmes ayant un rôle et bénéficiant de ce programme.

Contexte et justification

L’Organisation internationale du Travail a adopté le 18 juin 1998 la Déclaration relative aux principes et droits fondamentaux au travail (PDFT) qui prévoit que tous les Etats membres doivent respecter les quatre catégories de principes et droits fondamentaux au travail que sont: i) la liberté d’association et la reconnaissance effective du droit de négociation collective, ii) l’élimination de toute forme de travail forcé ou obligatoire, iii) l’abolition effective du travail des enfants, et iv) l’élimination de la discrimination en matière d’emploi et de profession - même s’ils n’ont pas ratifié les huit conventions internationales du travail, dites conventions fondamentales, qui les sous-tendent[2]. En contrepartie, la Déclaration de 1998 met l’accent sur l’obligation qui incombe à l’Organisation d’aider les Etats membres à atteindre ces objectifs grâce aux moyens mis à sa disposition.

Dix ans plus tard, lors de la Conférence internationale du Travail de 2008, les mandants de l’OIT ont adopté: La Déclaration de l’OIT sur la justice sociale pour une mondialisation équitable[3] qui affirme que les Etats membres tout comme l’Organisation elle-même devraient « se fonder sur les quatre objectifs stratégiques de l’OIT, d’égale importance, autour desquels s’articule l’Agenda du travail décent », à savoir: 1) promouvoir l’emploi, 2) prendre et renforcer les mesures de protection sociale, 3) promouvoir le dialogue social et le tripartisme et enfin 4) respecter, promouvoir et mettre en œuvre les principes et droits fondamentaux au travail. La Déclaration de 2008 ajoute « que la Conférence reconnaît… que la mise en œuvre de la Déclaration… suppose que l’OIT appuie de manière efficace les efforts des ses Membres ». A cette fin elle prévoit notamment de « soutenir et appuyer les efforts déployés par chaque Membre en vue de progresser vers l’ensemble des objectifs stratégiques, sur une base tripartite, … d’aider … à renforcer la capacité institutionnelle des Etats Membres, ainsi que des organisations d’employeurs et de travailleurs pour faciliter la conduite d’une politique sociale pertinente et cohérente ainsi que le développement durable ».

Dans de nombreux pays en voie de développement, la faiblesse des capacités des différents acteurs nécessite un appui conséquent sous différentes formes en vue d’aider les Etats et les organisations d’employeurs et de travailleurs à se renforcer, à leur donner les outils nécessaires à la mise en œuvre de leurs engagements constitutionnels, pour lutter contre la pauvreté et réaliser l’Agenda du travail décent.

Dés son adoption, les Etats africains ont apporté un soutien important à la Déclaration de 1998. Ils se sont engagés en poursuivant la ratification des conventions fondamentales et ont sollicité l’aide du BIT pour les aider à mieux respecter les principes et droits qu’elle promeut mais aussi à mieux appliquer les conventions pertinentes.

A de nombreuses occasions, les différents Etats africains à titre individuel, ou l’Union africaine dans le cadre des délibérations ou des résolutions qu’elle a adoptées, a réaffirmé ce soutien et cette volonté politique faisant du respect de ces textes une composante importante d’une meilleure gouvernance et un outil essentiel pour la lutte contre la pauvreté.

Consultancy Services for Capacity Building for Decentralized Natural Resource Management in Somaliland and Puntland

1.Background

The UN Joint Programme on Local Governance and Decentralised Service Delivery is a 5 year Programme of ILO, UNCDF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF. The Programme is aligned to the programming frameworks of the Somali Reconstruction and Development Programme 2008-12, the UN Transition Plan 2008-9, New Deal Compact and ILO Decent Work Country Programme. One of the key outcomes of the RDP is to achieve decentralised service delivery in Somaliland/Somalia. The outcome of the UNTP is that local governance contributes to peace and equitable priority service delivery in selected locations. The Decent Work Agenda is a result-oriented framework aimed at the attainment of full and productive employment and decent work for all, including women and youth

Natural resources are the foundations for development of Somalia underpinning livelihoods, food security, trade and employment. However, policy and legislation with respect to natural resources/environment is weak and outdated. Lack of effective governance structures and capacity made the efforts to combat illegal and unsustainable resource exploitation a difficult task. The effects of climate change, increased population pressures, land degradation and urbanization imposed further pressures on the management of natural resources. Natural resources depletion is exacerbated by conflict and in turn feeds into the cycle of insecurity and violence as clans and communities clash over access to the diminishing natural resource base of pasture, water and forest resources. This applies to areas populated by traditional mobile pastoralists and those with settled agro-pastoral communities and spills over into the urban setting. Within urban areas, commodities coming from the rural pastoral and agro-pastoral areas form a very significant input into the local economy. Conflict and environmental degradation, with their negative effects on each other, contribute to further poverty and, faced with the limited prospects for livelihood diversification, pushes people out of the rural pastoral and agro-pastoral economies and into the urban areas in search of employment or food aid.

To address issues underpinning the NRM sector, Somaliland and Puntland governments, through ILO JPLG, developed a programme to support decentralized natural resources management. This aims to achieve as wide coverage as resources and conditions allow with a comprehensive approach to rendering local governments as credible and professional service providers, increasing public investment in basic services, and strengthening civic awareness and participation in local decision-making and development. The approach pursued comprises: (i) supporting policy and legal frameworks for decentralised NRM enabling local governments, communities and other local actors (ii) institutionalising local governance systems and processes, vertical and horizontal inter-government linkages (iii) development and implementation of service delivery models (SDM) as basis for experimenting the practicality of delivering NRM services and goods through local governments. The NRM interventions attach emphasis on local governance and good governance, employment through natural resources, principles of conflict resolution, transparency, accountability, and participation and engagement of women and youth throughout.

ILO responsibilities in Joint Programme relates to promoting employment-led local economic development with specific focus on:

1. Supporting the development of policy, legal and institutional frameworks and capacity and local government for decentralised public and environmental works investment and service delivery;
2. Building local government capacity to develop and enabling environment for local economic development where the potential of local resources are recognised and optimised.
3. Developing and integrating local resource based employment-intensive approaches in the local public expenditure management processes. For example, from the participatory planning process to project design, procurement and implementation processes for public/environmental works and service delivery as well as the operation and management of these assets.

2.Objectives of the project

Rapid market assessment of high-growth value chains in Malawi

I Background and justification

The International Labour Organization (ILO) is implementing a project to support the government of Malawi pursue enterprise development strategies and programmes in economic sectors and value chains with high job creation potential. In response to requests from the Ministry of Labour, Youth and Manpower Development, the ILO is also in the process of formulating of a large-scale UN Joint Programme (UN JP) on youth entrepreneurship and employment.

A business environment assessment conducted in 2013 recommended that efforts to improve the business environment should include capacity building of national institutions to support private sector and SME development, strengthening of systems for value chain development (and value addition), and enhancing capacity for provision of business development services to the SME sector. National capacity to support entrepreneurship, SME and value chain development in Malawi, is however still weak and large number of SMEs, and in particular youth entrepreneurs still have limited or no access to business development support services, finance and markets. The Ministries recently articulated that more enterprise development activities were needed in Malawi in order to ensure that the previous skills development activities translate into new and growing businesses, particularly for the country’s youth.

In order to ensure that the ILO continues to promote the development of sectors with the greatest potential for creating positive impacts for employment and enterprise creation for Malawi's youth, as well as overall growth for the country, the ILO intends to conduct rapid market assessments (RMA) in the Construction sector, pre-identified as having high prospects for meeting these goals.

The RMA will specifically aim at

a) Identifying the sub-sectors and value chains that are most able to create entrepreneurship and enterprise opportunities for Malawi's youth, and that have high prospects for stimulating export growth,

b) Developing initial hypotheses of the bottlenecks and constraints in these sub-sectors and value chains that prevent their growth and employment generation.

II. Overall Objective

The rapid market assessment (RMA) aims to generate a deeper understanding of the sectors or value chains and their relevance to and potential impact on the target group. The RMA will collect information to enable the Project to

a) make an informed decision about the potential and relevance of the identified sectors, sub-sectors and value chains, and to ascertain whether interventions to develop these sectors would be feasible;

b) better target entrepreneurship and enterprise development interventions for the target group towards existing market demand and economic opportunities for employment;

c) develop initial hypotheses about the underlying constraints in the market systems and identify possible sectoral interventions that can help target groups to exploit economic opportunities in the sub-sectors and value chains with strong potential for inclusive growth and systemic change.

Results and findings of the RMA will also be used to inform activity planning of potential future ILO project on entrepreneurship and enterprise development for youth in Malawi.

III. Scope of Work

The assignment will consist of the following components:

1) Preliminary research, including a literature review of secondary data sources

2) More detailed field research and analysis to collect primary data, mostly through key informant interviews

3) Preparation of Rapid Market Assessment Report

4) Presentation of findings in a half-day meeting to the project team.

Specific tasks:

· Submit a work plan detailing the specific approach that the consultant will undertake to complete the assignment, including primary and secondary data sources, data collection tools, interviews with key market players, and a timeline for which all ensuing activities will be undertaken and outputs submitted.

· Review secondary literature, including available economic data and market trends, household surveys, and any previous studies relevant to the sector(s).

· Conduct primary research, conducting key stakeholder interviews to better understand the market system and its possible underlying constraints and to better gauge the feasibility to stimulate change in the sector or value chain.

· Develop the sectors value chain map.

· Submit a rough draft RMA report using the provided template and criteria, and should include a methodology for how the RMA was conducted, an analysis of the data, research tools used, a conclusion, and recommendations for whether or not the ILO should further invest in the sector or value chain, and if so, what are intervention areas that could potentially lead to scalable and sustainable impact for the target group.

· Incorporate comments received from the ILO and key stakeholders into the final RMA report.

· Present the results of the RMA at a workshop of key sector stakeholders

IV. Expected Outputs

The assignment should result in the following specific outputs:

1. Work plan for the assignment duration, including a timeframe, secondary research sources, and projected stakeholders to be consulted.

2. Rapid Market Assessment Report (rough draft) that compiles information on sectors, sub-sectors and value chains with potential and provides a rating of shortlisted sectors and value chains in terms of their potential for employment creation, relevance for the target group and feasibility for intervention. The report should also provide a good overview of specific skills in demand and economic opportunities in shortlisted sectors.

3. Rapid Market Assessment Report (final draft) that incorporates comments from key stakeholders

4. Presentation of findings and recommendations to Stakeholders (half day)

V. Reporting Lines

The consultant will report to Naomy Lintini, the Chief Technical Advisor in the ILO office in Lilongwe.

Assessment of the Local Economic Development component of the Joint Programme on Local Governance

Background

The Joint Programme on Local Governance (JPLG) was launched in 2008, the programme is currently in its 2^nd Phase (2013 -2017). The Joint Programme, which has five partners including ILO, UNCDF, UNDP, UN-HABITAT and UNICEF, is aligned to and contributes to the Somali development frameworks (Somali Compact, National Development Plans). The overall objective of JPLG is to promote improvements in local governance quality that can contribute to peace consolidation, development and equitable service delivery. This is to be achieved through 3 outcomes:-

· Outcome 1: Policy and legal frameworks are improved to enable local governments to deliver equitable services.

· Outcome 2: Local government capacity for equitable service delivery is improved.

· Outcome 3: Local governments are accountable and responsive to community priorities in providing equitable and sustainable services and promoting local economic development.

The Local Economic Development (LED) component of the Joint Programme on local Governance (JPLG) is designed to build the capacities of the local governments on economic development and engage the private sector in local governance and service delivery and contributes to outcome 3 of the programme. This is to be achieved by supporting the development of strategies, frameworks, structures and interventions which promote collaboration and engagement of the private sector in local governance and service delivery as well as economic growth in support of decentralization.

Justification

The ILO through JPLG has supported 12 districts across Somaliland, Puntland as well as Baidoa, Beletweyne, Jowhar in new Federal Member States of Somalia in the establishment and strengthening of economic local governance structures and capacities to reflect the priorities of communities; encourage and guide local economic development and forge partnerships between the private, public and community sectors. Interventions designed and implemented are informed by local economy assessments, incorporating labour market survey, business enabling environment survey data, and outcomes from participatory LED strategic planning. These address barriers in exploiting local economic potential; create an enabling environment for inclusive private sector-led growth and decent jobs in each district. The results of these interventions include i)Business regulatory environment through improvements to simplify and streamline the business licensing procedures in 6 districts in Somaliland, 6 in Puntland and currently on-going in Mogadishu, Benadir Region. This has resulted in an increase (ranging from 20-40%) in number of businesses on the register and expanding the revenue base. ii) A complementary micro and small enterprise development support package of interventions targeting over 800 beneficiaries in 2014/15 involved the development of business development service providers and certified entrepreneurship trainers (using the ILO Enterprise Training Modules, Start and Improve Your Business), targeting young graduates, new and existing micro-and small enterprises for enterprise training and start-up loans through micro-finance schemes in partnership with the private sector. Support to cooperatives, skills training and the introduction of local resource-based, employment intensive technologies in construction and environment conservation including bio-gas technology has been also been provided iii) Through the Local Economic Development funding window (under the JPLG Local Development Fund) which has supported the local administrations undertake projects to improve existing and build new economic infrastructure including markets and roads. In view of the strong local commitments and visible results on the ground, the LED approach is becoming popular in the localities. There are many good practices and lessons learned emerging from this approach that could be documented and scaled up.

In 2015, the JPLG conducted a mid-term review of the programme, one of the recommendations from the review was an assessment of the LED approach implemented by the JPLG to assess its impact and inform the design of the 3^rd phase of the programme. The assessment will inform the key actors on the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of the LED approach that is being implemented. The need to harmonize the LED processes with the local government planning process has been identified to avoid promotion of parallel planning processes and funding streams. This assessment will guide the integration of local economic development in the governments core Participatory Planning and Expenditure Management framework (PEM).

Objective

The overall objective of the assessment is to assist the JPLG, donors, governments, regional administrations private sector and other potential partners understand the efficiency, effectiveness, relevance (governance, server delivery), sustainability and impact of the LED approach and practices adopted by the JPLG.

Scope

The assessment will address, but not limited to the following:

a) Review the existing LED planning, implementation and management framework which is in practice, as well as its effectiveness and efficiency;

b) Review and analyze the LED planning process and provide recommendations vis a vis PEM

c) Review the local LED Strategies which have been developed and being implemented in the districts;

e) Assess the completed and on-going activities, relating to capacity development for creating enabling environment, jobs creation, increasing investments and revenue generation, as well as overall stimulating local economies and reducing poverty;

f) Assess the institutional relationship, arrangement and management of the intervention in terms of ensuring accountability, equity and sustainability;

g) Assess the overall LED approach, in light of improving gender equality and enhancing women empowerment;

h) Assess the linkage and contribution of the LED approach to the outcome of the JPLG programme

i) Analyze and illustrate the comparative advantages, value added, best practices and lessons learned to promote the LED approach/ intervention;

Methodology

The assessment will commence with a review of the available related national, local and JPLG programme policies, strategies, frameworks, programme documents, work plans, manuals and reports. A series of meetings with the key actors in national, regional and local levels, private sector and communities as well as field visits to the districts. There will be several interviews and consultations to be conducted with the focused groups and beneficiaries. Data and information to be collected should be evidence-based, as well as qualitative and quantitative in nature. The assessment will follow a participatory approach. Once the draft assessment report is developed, it should be shared with all the key relevant stakeholders for their comments, views, suggestions and recommendations.

Implementation Arrangements

The JPLG ILO in general and Project Manager in particular, will be responsible for control and supervision of the exercise. The Project Manager will report to the Senior Programme Manager on the assessment related matters in order to ensure effective coordination, coherence and independence of the function.

The tandem[1] will be assigned a leading facilitator responsible for conducting the exercise, quality control and all delivery of all assessment products stated above. He/she will be communicating with and reporting directly to JPLG ILO focal person.

The final report will have to be presented to the Stakeholder Consultative Forum and the JPLG Technical Working Group. The approval of the final report will be done after the review by the JPLG Technical Working Group.
