INVITATION FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICE

The International Labour Organization, Country Office for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan and for the Special Representative to the AU and the ECA is looking for qualified consultants/firms as per the following details.

Terms of Reference

The Final Review of the Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) for Ethiopia (2014-2016) and Formulation of the DWCP 2017-2020

Context and Justification

The fundamental aim of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is to promote full employment and ensuring access for every man and woman to decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity, in all countries. The ILO provides technical and institutional assistance to its tripartite constituents (governments, employers 'organizations and workers' organizations) in the Member States to achieve this goal. A Decent Work Country Programme (DWCP) is the document that defines, in each country, how constituents with the support of the ILO and other key partners work together towards the attainment of this objective.

Following the results-based management (RBM) approach, the DWCP is based on a causal analysis of problems of decent work leading to the identification of priority areas of intervention, the delineation of short and medium-term strategic outcomes and an operational implementation plan. The DWCP is, thus, the strategic results framework set up around which the Government and the social partners (employers and workers) are committed to working in partnership with ILO and other key partners to achieve the goals of decent work in the country.

The 2014-2016 DWCP of Ethiopia is, therefore, in principle a contribution to achieving the country's development priorities as defined in particular in the Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development to End Poverty (PASDEP) (2005-2010), “creating employment opportunities” being one of the pillars that confirms the fact that the Government of Ethiopia recognizes the important link between productive employment, economic growth and poverty reduction. This was highlighted in the former national development plan, the Growth and Transformation Plan I (GTP I) (2010/11–2014/15), mainstreaming employment across all pillars. The current national development plan, GTP II (2015/16-2019/20), also reaffirms the Ethiopian Government’s commitment to continue its inclusive and pro-poor development strategy to further address the poverty and employment promotion challenges.

The Decent Work Country Programme for Ethiopia (2014-2016) is a programme framework initiated by the tripartite partners (Government, Workers and Employers) to address country priorities identified in collaboration with the ILO Country Office. The programme implementation period was initially intended to be 2014-2015, but it was extended until the end of 2016 in order to align it with the country's Growth & Transformation Plan (GTP II) and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework for Ethiopia (UNDAF 2016-2020). The framework is aimed at facilitating the delivery of ILO's support to the country toward ensuring sustainable poverty reduction through the integration of decent work priorities with the national development agenda as set out in the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP I, 2010/11-2014/15) and UNDAF (2012-2015), which presents a planned response to the GTP I.

The DWCP for Ethiopia (2014-2016) has three priorities as follows:

1: Improving implementation of international labour standards and social dialogue with emphasis on compliance and coverage.
2: Promoting decent employment for poverty reduction.
3: Improving Social Protection for Sustainable Development.

The task of the DWCP Review and formulation of the next DWCP is scheduled to be completed through the period of February-April 2017 during 45 work days. The review will look into the collaboration of the ILO and its partners and the coherence of the DWCP within a larger multi-agency context. The opportunity will also be used to ensure alignment of the new DWCP with the GTP II (2015/16-2019/20), and the current UNDAF (2016-2020).

The main objectives of commissioning these consultancy are:
• To undertake a Country Programme Review (CPR), which is a management tool carried out by those in charge of designing and developing the DWCP. Accordingly, the purpose of this is to examine the achievements made so far in attaining the outcomes identified and take stock of recommendations, lessons learned and challenges so as to formulate the next DWCP (2017-2020).
• To support the ILO Office and constituents in the formulation of the next DWCP (2017-2020).
The information will be used by the ILO Country Office for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan as well as the Regional Office for Africa (ROAF), constituents and key counterparts and Implementing Partners.

The consultant/firm will undertake a comprehensive review of the DWCP from start to date using the ILO CPR criteria (relevance, validity, effectiveness, efficiency, capacities of the tripartite constituents and the ILO, impact, sustainability of results and lessons learnt) as the basis for its objectives and key questions, in order to ensure the veracity of the review. The following objectives will provide guidance to the assignment for the consultant:

Background

Armed conflict has a severe impact on the lives, livelihoods and basic human rights of communities. In conflicts around the world, tens of thousands of children are being recruited and used by armed forces and armed groups. The result of armed conflict crisis can lead to trafficking in persons and exploitation, including labour exploitation and trafficking of both adults and children, combined situations of labour and sexual exploitation and trafficking, forced labour and child labour including its worst forms. At its most damaging, this involves children and adults being trafficked across borders, forced into slavery and recruited and used by armed forces and groups.

The framework of international standards governing the question of forced labour, modern slavery, human trafficking and child labour – including in emergency contexts – enjoys high ratification rates–evidence of a wide consensus that the protection of fundamental rights and the elimination of child labour are high priorities. They include the following.

ILO Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138) (169 ratifications) calls for members to pursue a national policy designed to ensure the effective abolition of child labour and to raise progressively the minimum age for admission to employment or work consistent with the fullest physical and mental development of young persons (art. 1) and to specify a minimum age for admission to employment (art. 2), hazardous work (art. 3), and light work (art. 7). ILO Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182) (180 ratifications) calls for immediate and effective measures to be taken to secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour (art. 1). Those measures shall be applied to all persons, girls and boys, under the age of 18 (art. 2). The worst forms of child labour are defined in article 3. The Recommendation, the non-binding guidelines that accompany ILO Convention No.182 gives some indication as to what work should be prohibited. National law, regulation or decree should provide a list with prohibited forms of hazardous labour. The Optional Protocol to the CRC on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography (173 ratifications) defines the sale of children as ‘any act or transaction whereby a child is transferred by any person or group of persons to another for remuneration or any other consideration’. The Optional Protocol on involvement of children in armed conflict (166 ratifications) prohibits the participation of children under the age of 18 in armed conflict, and governs both voluntary and forced recruitment of minors. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (124 ratifications), adopted in 1998, qualifies the recruitment of children below 15 years for use in armed conflict as a war crime

Security Council Resolution 1612 identifies the recruitment and use of children as one of six grave violations of children’s right and calls for the systematic monitoring and reporting to the council.

ILO Forced labour Convention of 1930 (No. 29) (178 ratifications) calls for the abolishment of forced labour which it defines as "all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily." In addition, ILO Convention 105 (174 ratifications) reports that forced labour can never be used for economic development or as an instrument of political education, discrimination, and discipline through work or as punishment for participating in a strike.

The Palermo protocol (170 ratifications) to ‘Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children’ of 2000 inter alia calls for the prevention, suppression and punishment of all forms of trafficking in of children and broadens the definition of exploitation to include “at a minimum, the exploitation or the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs”.

I*n September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)* which framed the global development agenda for the next 15 years. One of the seventeen goals (Goal No. 8) calls for the promotion of sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all by 2030. Target 8.7 under this goal states: take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its form. One of the proposed indicators for target 8.7 is the percentage and numbers of children aged 5-17 years engaged in child labour, per sex and age group (disaggregated by the worst forms of child labour).

Despite this strong international commitment, violations continue. It is a matter of priority and urgency that action must be further strengthened through informed programming to prevent and address violations of fundamental principles and rights, through advocacy and policy dialogue as well as through mechanisms that can hold perpetrators to account. Accurate and up to date information is key to taking such actions effectively. However, at the global level, there continues to be a lack of good information on violations in the context of armed conflict.

In order to address the knowledge gap, in 2016 ILO and UNICEF conducted a joint consultation exercise and commissioned FAFO, an independent research institute to develop suitable methodologies to estimate the number of children associated with armed groups and forces. FAFO conducted extensive consultations and prepared a report concluding that the methodology for each country may vary according its context.

Moving forward from the recommendations of the report, a broader coalition of partners who share similar priorities have joined hands to conduct a pilot study in three countries, that would not only include child soldiers but also trafficking and forced labour. ILO, IOM, UNICEF and Walk Free Foundation (WFF) have agreed to pool technical and financial resources to conduct this study as a pilot that would not only contribute producing to global estimates on child soldiers but will also enhance global understanding on the impact of armed conflict on forced labour and other worst forms of child labour. The pilot will be conducted in three countries: Nigeria, South Sudan and DRC.

Rationale for selecting the three countries for the pilot

The Secretary General’s Report on Children and Armed Conflict identifies Nigeria, South Sudan and DRC as countries where children are recruited and used in armed conflict. On certain occasions they are also used to perpetrate acts of extreme violence such as suicide bombings. Children as well as adults, particularly females in these countries are abducted and trafficked while some are subjected to forced marriage and used for sexual purposes. As such, the three selected countries have a significant caseload of child labour and forced labour that would allow for a substantive analysis.

During periods of armed conflict in Nigeria, South Sudan, and DRC, an absence of the rule of law has often created a state of impunity, where traffickers in certain localities can act without the fear of arrest and condemnation. Trafficking in persons has turned into a means to achieve armed groups’ objectives, such as the recruitment of fighters and workforce, financing of the groups’ activities, providing for sexual services. Trafficking has also been linked to the ethnic and/or religious dimensions of the conflict, where there have been reports of the systematic trafficking and enslavement of ethnic minorities. There can also be a strong gender dimension to trafficking in times of crisis. In Nigeria, for example, Boko Haram has specifically targeted women and girls, with the mass abductions of women and girls in the territories under their control. There are profound links with sexual exploitation and sexual slavery.

Armed conflict in Nigeria, South Sudan and DRC have created high levels of internal displacement. IDPs are considered amongst the most vulnerable populations to fall victim of trafficking and they are considered a target for traffickers. The general lack of economic opportunities and the increasing reliance on negative coping mechanisms can translate, in some cases, into heightened vulnerability to Trafficking among affected populations. Positions of vulnerability may be abused, while traffickers take advantage of the desperate economic and social conditions of the affected population. Furthermore, the negative coping mechanisms that some families and individuals affected by displacement adopt, such as forced early marriages and child labour, may directly result in exploitation and trafficking.

IOM, one of the agencies conducting this survey has extensive IDP databases in the three selected countries. This provides a good basis and a starting point for the survey, particularly in developing the sampling framework. Moreover as the purpose of the study is to pilot a survey model, it is of particular importance that secondary factors such as logistics, local facilitation and data collection capacity do not pose any obstacle. As such selecting countries where one or more of the agencies commissioning this survey have significant presence will be a major contributing factor to successfully implementing it. UNICEF and IOM have sizable programmes and presence in the selected countries while ILO has a country office in Nigeria and has past experience working in child labour, trafficking, forced labour and other programmes in all three countries.

Methodology

As per the study conducted by FAFO, no single methodology will fit all countries and all circumstances. Therefore, a suitable methodology that takes into consideration the local context of the target country should be developed and adopted. In the case of the three selected countries, the IOM maintains an extensive database of displaced persons in each of these countries that includes information on family status, income, and vulnerability and contact details. The database provides a good basis for developing a stratified sample for the pilot study to randomly select respondents who would be interviewed. Data collection will be done by experienced IOM enumerators specially trained for the purpose of this survey, under the guidance of a protocol agreed by the Study Steering Committee (SSC). A two tier questionnaire with the first tier containing initial filter questions and the second tier containing detailed questions on violations (risk of trafficking and child recruitment) will be administered. The data thus collected will be cleaned, entered and analysed and a report will be drafted.

The data so collected may be further enhanced and triangulated through key informant interviews, focus group interviews and where appropriate through statistical data from the Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism on Grave Child Rights Violations.

Upon analysing the data, the draft report will be developed by the consultant (Study Coordinator) and presented to the SSC. The SSC may convene an expert workshop in which the draft report including the findings of the study will be discussed and validated. The final report will be produced incorporating the comments and feedback received at the validation workshop.

The final report should be between 30 and 40 A4 pages excluding annexes, and should be appropriately formatted. Annexes may include the questionnaire, the survey protocol and other relevant documents.

Administration

The survey is conducted jointly by four organisations, ILO, IOM, UNICEF and WFF. A Study Steering Committee (SSC) comprising specialists from each of the organisations will make overall decisions regarding the survey. Each agency will contribute through funds and technical expertise. On behalf of the SSC, ILO will recruit and provide direct supervision to the Study Coordinator. However on a regular basis, the Study Coordinator will interact closely with all the members of the SSC, who will also serve as link persons between the Study Coordinator and the respective agencies.

IOM teams in the three countries will carry out the collection, cleaning and entering of the data. Each country team will be led by a National Survey Coordinator who has adequate knowledge and experience for the task. The Study Coordinator will coordinate the work of the three National Survey Coordinators to ensure the smooth implementation of the survey, in close collaboration with the SSC. Members of the SSC will provide technical inputs and may also participate in technical tasks such as developing and finalising the questionnaire, analysing the data and contributing to the final report.

Overall Tasks and Responsibilities

The Study Coordinator will be overall responsible for the timely completion of the survey and the finalisation of the survey report. He/she will take over from the point up to which the SSC has undertaken activities and see to the completion of the survey. The main tasks and deliverables of the Study Coordinator are listed in the table below.

I. Background

The ILO Country Office for Thailand, Cambodia and Lao People’s Democratic Republic is looking for a consultant or team of consultants to contribute to the ILO’s work on improving and expanding social protection and occupational health and safety in Cambodia’s construction sector. The projects aim at identifying drivers and constraints for advancing these two goals in specific supply chains.

The consultancy is a joint intervention of the ILO projects on Enhancing Occupational Safety and Health Standards in the Construction Sector in Cambodia (KHM/17/01/JPN), Social Protection for Informal Workers (KHM/16/04/OEC) and Supporting the Implementation of Sustainable Social Protection Floors for Workers and their Families in ASEAN (RAS/15/51/ROK). The consultant(S) will work closely with the ILO’s OSH Chief Technical Advisor and Social Protection Technical Officer for Cambodia with technical backstopping of the relevant technical specialists of the Decent Work Support Team based in Bangkok.

As a labor-intensive industry, construction has traditionally provided an important entry point into the labour market for landless and unskilled workers. The recent construction boom in Cambodia has created new jobs and attracted a new workforce, namely women.[1] Unlike in the garment manufacturing sector, where women have traditionally been more active, the construction sector is much more prone to industrial accidents and injuries, and its workers are amongst the most vulnerable to ill health and poverty in case of maternity, disease, unemployment, disability, or old age, for lack of any form of social protection. In particular, the construction sector is associated with a disproportionally high share of serious work-related accidents and fatalities: the ILO estimates that one in five fatal accidents at work happen on a construction site.[2] Poor living and working conditions reflect the absence or lack of enforcement of labour and social regulation covering workers in this sector.

Consequently, the construction sector has been identified by the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MoLVT) as a priority sector for this intervention. The ILO agrees on the large-scale potential of this sector to facilitate decent work and poverty reduction for both women and men. However, the construction sector as a whole is not a homogeneous group The industry is characterized by complex sub-contracting arrangements, some of these sub-contractors may be formal enterprises, but many MSMEs operate in the informal sector. Individual workers tend to be engaged on a casual basis and without written contracts, which makes for low and irregular incomes. Many informal workers lack personal identification and bank accounts.These differences and atypical working arrangements can be of particular importance when it comes to accessing statutory benefits as traditional systems of formal social protection tend to rely on defined and stable employer-employee relationships.

A value chain “describes the full range of activities that are required to bring a product or service from conception, through the intermediary phases of production and delivery to final consumers”.[3] This includes activities such as design, production, marketing, distribution and support services, up to the final consumer and are thus often divided among several businesses. A sector, on the other hand, refers to areas of the economy in which business share the same or related products or services. Sectors are broader than value chains, and within sectors we often find several value chains. For example, within commercial and institutional building construction, there are value chains for plumbing, electrical, glass and woodwork contractors, amongst many others.

Value chains are part of wider market systems which include a number of actors providing ‘supporting functions’ to businesses in the core value chain, as well as actors who set and enforce ‘rules’ about how value chain actors operate. Other key components of the market system are the ‘rules of the game’, which govern the way that actors in the value chain operate. These include labour legislation, regulations at all levels of government, quality standards and government policies and the degree to which these are enforced.

The Rapid Market and Supply Chain Assessment (RMA) intends to generate evidence on the construction market system in Cambodia. The research will borrow from the methodology employed to carry out value chain research and analysis with a particular focus on improving social conditions, including OSH and social protection.

II.Objective

The objective of the assignment is to:

i. Conduct an RMA to map the Cambodian construction market system and produce a longlist of the most relevant value chains within it, ranked according to their potential to advance the project’s dual goal of expanding OSH and social protection, for the latter specifically Employment Injury Insurance (EII).

ii. Conduct a value chain analysis (VCA) of the selected value chain with an OSH and social protection risk assessment. The VCA will include an identification of the dynamics and constraints in the value chain as well as an identification of the social protection, occupational safety and health risks faced by workers at the different stages of production and a sense of what the underlying factors are.

The objective of these tasks is to provide a comprehensive overview of the value chain and its market environment, as well as to single out areas of possible performance (implementation and administration) issues related to OSH and social protection in the selected supply chain.

III.Timeframe

Duration: 40 days from the signing date, with completion of deliverables no later than September 31, 2017.

Expected places of travel: Home-based for preparation and report writing. Two missions to Phnom Penh and other locations as required.

IV.Requirements

• At least 10 years post Master’s relevant experience working in developing countries with substantial experience working on value chain development, particularly in South East Asia.

• Strong analytical capacity, including the ability to analyze and articulate differences of positions among various stakeholders and develop acceptable solutions.

Background

The project “Free Movement of Persons and Transhumance in the IGAD Region: Improving Opportunities for Regular Labour Mobility” was launched by the International Labour Organisation, in collaboration with IGAD, in 2017 to lay the groundwork for the implementation of the free movement protocol in the IGAD region. This has been achieved primarily through building up the knowledge base of migration and labour market dynamics in the region, capacity-building activities on labour migration and development of employment and skills opportunities in the Ethiopia-Sudan migration corridor.

The overall objective of the project is to improve opportunities for regulated labour mobility and decent work within the IGAD countries through the development of models of intervention, in the broader context of the regional integration process. In the long-term, it is expected to extend decent work opportunities to current and potential migrants within the region, as well as contribute to regional integration, strengthen the link between economic growth and job growth, and enhance the social and economic integration of migrants.

The project’s interventions cover two main areas: knowledge-building and operational implementation. The knowledge-building component seeks to deepen understanding of migration and labour market dynamics in the region, including the constraints and opportunities for employment creation and causes of skills shortages. In this regard, an increasingly important crosscutting issue is climate change and its impacts on labour markets and migration.

To date, there is a lack of targeted research that considers the impacts of climate change on labour markets and migration. The majority of research focuses on the multi-causal relationship between climate change and migration and human mobility more generally. A focus on the labour market dimensions of climate change and employment is critical to understand overall migration patterns and examine how climate and labour market variables interact and further determine migration outcomes. This is particularly important given the increasing incidences of climate induced migration due to slow or sudden onset climatic hazards. Climate change variables not only undermine the livelihoods of migrants in their countries of origin, but also affect labour markets in countries and communities of transit and destination. Identifying and analysing these interactions will be critical to understand the overall characteristics of migration in the region, particularly given protracted and ongoing migration and human mobility due to drought and other climatic factors. The scale of such movements is also expected to increase in the coming years with unprecedented impacts on the livelihoods of people both in countries of origin, transit and destination. Cognizant of this and the fact that migrant workers represent more than 70% of all migrants of working age, analysing the interplay between climate change, migration and employment along the migration cycle is critical.

Given the circumstances, the project aims to conduct research on the links between climate change, migration and employment to build knowledge of how climate variables interact with other key variables that affect labour market and migration outcomes. The knowledge that is generated will help to inform labour migration, employment and labour market policies and programmes in the IGAD secretariat and its member States.

In this context, the ILO Country Office for Djibouti, Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia, based in Addis Ababa, is seeking to recruit a consultant to conduct the first phase of research and prepare a framework to conceptualise the links between climate change, migration and employment.

PurposeandScope

The overall objective of the research activity is “to build knowledge and deepen understanding of the links between climate change, migration and employment so as to inform interventions that support regulated labour mobility and decent work”. Research will be divided into two phases. The first phase of the study will review and summarise the existing state of knowledge on the three areas of interest and present a conceptual framework of the links between them. The conceptual framework will later inform a second phase of empirical research. The consultancy in question will focus on the first phase.

The first phase of the study will constitute a desk review of existing literature and data sources that document patterns and trends in climate change, migration and employment in the region. It will also map existing entities that work to address these areas of work.

Methodology

The first phase of the study will include a review of existing literature and data sources, in addition to a mapping of entities that address climate change impacts, migration and employment in the region. The consultant will compile a list of sources (both literature and data sources) on the three areas of interest, upon which they will elaborate. It is advised that the consultant work in collaboration with relevant IGAD research bodies to ensure that accurate and up-to-date sources are used. Contact with these bodies will be facilitated through the ILO if necessary.

The exercise will aim to:

• Assess the state of knowledge on migration, climate change and employment at the national and regional levels.

• Critically examine and develop a model that illustrates the link between climate change, migration and employment

• Identify gaps in data and knowledge.

• Identify which entities are working on the topics of climate change, migration and employment, and what they are doing at the national and regional levels to address them.

• Identify how regional policies and legislative frameworks address the topics of climate change, human mobility, labour markets, employment and livelihoods.

The exercise will consider, among other questions:

• What are the economic and labour market characteristics of places of origin, destination and transit?

• How are climate change variables affecting employment opportunities in the region and in particular main countries of origin, transit and destination?

• How are climate change variables shaping economic dimensions of the decision to move?

• Is migration a negative coping strategy, or does it provide positive opportunities? Under what conditions can migration be a positive opportunity in the region?

These and other questions will be revised after preliminary consultation between ILO project staff and the consultant.

ReviewManagementand Process

Reporting:

The consultant will report directly to the ILO Technical Officer in ILO Country Office, Addis Abba with support from other ILO technical experts as required. It is expected that the work will be done remotely. Regular communication will be maintained over skype, phone calls, emails and video conference as appropriate.

ExpectedOutputs:**

The consultant is expected to submit the following outputs:

• An inception report with a preliminary outline of the report, list of sources and time table

• A draft research report

• A final research report

A research report will be presented summarising main findings from the desk review and mapping exercises. It will provide an over view of existing literature, data sources and entities that address migration, climate change, employment in the IGAD region. It will present a conceptual framework of the linkages between the three areas of interest and provide policy makers with a foundation to build collaboration across areas of expertise.

The final report should include:

• A summary of existing knowledge on the three areas of interest, with a focus on the IGAD region.

• A summary of the national and regional entities (governmental) that are working to address these areas.

• A conceptual framework of the links between the three areas of interest.

• A summary of possible synergies between the work of entities working in these areas.

Purpose:

Consultancy to develop training curriculum on preventing, identifying and countering forced labour and human trafficking in conflict and humanitarian settings

Location: Home based, with the possibility of a mission to Turin, Italy

Contract Duration: 30 work days within a period of three months

Start and End Date:

Tentatively 10^th September 2018 to 10^th December 2018

Reporting to:ITCILO Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work Specialist in Turin

1. Background

Having observed and documented the alarming increase in scale and scope of human trafficking and forced labour in conflicts, as well as natural disasters and other protracted humanitarian settings, the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) wish to bring in their specific and unique mandates, expertise and experience in developing a joint training curriculum on Preventing, Identifying and Countering Forced Labour and Trafficking in Persons in Conflict and Humanitarian Settings.

This curriculum will be utilized to implement a pilot five-day face to face training course that will be jointly organized and facilitated by the two organizations. An online version (exact format to be determined subsequently) will also be developed to provide distance learning opportunities on the same themes to target audience members that are not able to take part in face to face training activities.

As several recent studies have indicated, conflicts, disasters and protracted humanitarian settings create very conducive conditions for trafficking and forced labour to thrive.

In addition to drivers prevalent in vulnerable communities and fragile situations, conflict and disaster can exacerbate existing trafficking situations and can cause new, crisis-induced forms of trafficking and exploitation, as a consequence of mass displacement, sudden loss of livelihoods, and collapse of rule of law and territorial control by armed groups.

These factors push the affected population to consider resorting to negative coping mechanisms, often leading to trafficking, forced labour and exploitation. The loss of hope and the breakdown of governance also play an important role contributing to the increased vulnerability of the population and to a heightened risk of trafficking and exploitation in situations of crisis. Trafficking prevention and response, however, have thus far either remained unaddressed within the humanitarian response, or not been addressed in a comprehensive manner, nor been perceived as a life-saving intervention.

Due to the absence and/or weak law enforcement and monitoring, limited coordination between different law enforcement authorities, non-reporting of forced labour and trafficking or the impunity perpetrators enjoy, ensuring the right of all workers to freedom from forced labour poses a major challenge in crisis settings. There is thus an urgent need to address these crimes while also responding to the protection needs of the most vulnerable amongst crisis affected groups.

UN humanitarian agencies, humanitarian NGOs, peacekeeping forces, political support missions and local civil society organisations may lack the knowledge and the technical capacity to do so. And evidence suggests there is a need for improved cooperation between the humanitarian community, which starts to operate at the outset of the crisis, and the development community, including local actors, who were present in the country before the crisis broke out.

Several IOM studies have established a clear link between trafficking, exploitation and crisis settings and have pointed to important gaps in the UN humanitarian response mechanisms that need to be urgently addressed.

ILO and IOM have unique technical knowledge and expertise that have significantly contributed to combatting trafficking and forced labour at the global level. The two organizations play key roles in inter agency forums such as the Inter-agency Coordination Group on Trafficking (ICAT) and the Alliance 8.7.

More recently the IOM has been co-leading the Global Protection Cluster’s Anti-trafficking in Task Team, which aims at identifying a mechanism to systematically include counter-trafficking efforts in every humanitarian response.

In 2016, the ILO’s Governing Body adopted the FUNDAMENTALS Branch’s Integrated Strategy on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work 2016-2020. It includes an action-oriented strategy on Promoting Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work in Fragile Situations articulated around four pillars: improving public policies and governance; strengthening partnerships and advocacy; empowerment and protection of vulnerable groups and expanding the knowledge base.

2. Training course on preventing, identifying and countering forced labour and human trafficking in conflict and humanitarian settings

ILO and IOM have joined hands to develop a training course with the purpose of building the capacity and enhancing the skills and knowledge of local, sub national and national level practitioners to effectively prevent, identify and respond to trafficking and forced labour in situations of armed conflict, disasters and protracted unrest.

This course will focus on how to prevent and address those violations in the context of conflict and humanitarian settings, specifically, before, during and after the crisis, and, will emphasize operational best practices.

More specifically, it will:

• Familiarize participants with forced labour and trafficking, explaining their conceptual and legal frameworks, how they are interlinked.
• Enhance participants’ knowledge of how conflict and humanitarian settings impact on forced labour and trafficking, and challenges in preventing and combatting forced labour and human trafficking;
• Strengthen participants’ knowledge on the indicators of trafficking and forced labour and the modus operandi on a referral mechanism to access protection and assistance for victims;
• Provide specific guidance to participants on establishing or making use of basic referral mechanisms to support victims in crisis and non-crisis settings;
• Strengthen participants’ understanding of the UN Cluster System in conflict and disaster settings, as well as its strengths and weaknesses;
• Present participants with examples of best practices in addressing trafficking and forced labour in crisis settings and the current action to improve the humanitarian response and coordinate efforts;
• Explore and analyse with participants best practice and recommended actions to address trafficking and forced labour before, during and after a crisis;
• Increase participants’ understanding of the various mandates capabilities and limitations of relevant actors and stakeholders in their country settings and enhance participants’ skills to effectively engage with them;
• Introduce participants to established and potential coordination and collaboration mechanisms and share knowledge on how different actors can collaborate to combat trafficking and forced labour in crisis more effectively;
• Expose participants to existing tools and mechanisms that are relevant to combatting forced labour and trafficking;

The list of topics to be covered by the training include:

• Concepts and definitions of trafficking and forced labour;
• International legal framework on forced labour and human trafficking;
• Specific instruments that deal with forced labour and trafficking in conflict and humanitarian settings;
• Indicators of trafficking and forced labour;
• Operationalization of legal frameworks at national level, gaps and challenges
• The establishment or use of National Referral mechanisms and contingency planning in preparation of a crisis.
• Relevant national level actors, their mandates and capabilities.
• Relevant humanitarian actors, the UN Cluster System and its modus operandi.
• The rationale behind the engagement in crisis to respond to trafficking and forced labour (current challenges and gaps);
• Establishing or making use of existing coordination forums to improve the effectiveness of the response
• Community based action to prevent and combat forced labour and trafficking.
• Mainstreaming forced labour and trafficking concerns in humanitarian response including in Protection, Child Protection and Rule of Law responses and in relevant UN Clusters;
• Establishing or making use of referral mechanisms to assist victims
• Introduction to existing ILO, IOM and inter-agency resources, tools, guidelines and principles relevant to trafficking and forced labour

· Good practices and lessons learnt in preventing and combatting trafficking and forced labour in conflict and humanitarian settings.

· Specific actions for specific organizations/institutions (to be immediately operationalized in countries in crisis)

This five-day course is intended for staff of international and national agencies and civil society organizations which are active in combatting forced labour and trafficking, in crisis and non-crisis settings.

It is also addressed to protection and child protection practitioners, law enforcement actors including labour inspectors, police officers and prosecutors, as well as other professionals who are likely to encounter forced labour and trafficking in the course of their work, such as trade union and NGO representatives or health and safety inspectors, social workers, health practitioners, media personnel, etc.

3. Purpose of consultancy

The purpose of this consultancy is to develop the curriculum of a five (5) day training course on preventing, identifying and countering forced labour and human trafficking in conflict and humanitarian settings.

Expected output of consultancy

The expected output of this consultancy is the content of a curriculum of a five day (5) training course on preventing, identifying and countering forced labour and human trafficking in conflict and humanitarian settings.

The curriculum will be composed of the following:

• Course description and timetable

• Contents including key take away messages of six (6) modules (Overview of the issues: how conflict and humanitarian contexts affect fundamental human rights including the rights of workers; legal and policy frameworks and conceptual definitions of forced labour and human trafficking ; Identifying vulnerable groups and victims; countering human trafficking; Protecting at risk groups; Improving Inter agency coordination and action as well as action between the humanitarian and donor community, local actors and states)

• Session plans for each of the sixteen thematic sessions (see above list of topics); each session plan should stipulate the objectives of the session, the key messages to be conveyed and the relevant module (s)they pertain to, the methods to be used to deliver the session, the duration of the session (maximum 90 minutes per session) and the pedagogical and didactic material required

• Power point presentations, exercises, case studies and other relevant reference material for each one of the sixteen thematic sessions

The curriculum will make use of participatory as well as experiential learning methods and will be action oriented. The contents of the curriculum will be developed based on existing evidence including research and studies, good practices, and lessons learnt. However, it is acknowledged that although relatively more evidence exists in combatting forced labour and trafficking, specific evidence relating to conflict and humanitarian settings is currently growing.

The curriculum is also expected to draw from select training tools as well as operational guidance on forced labour and trafficking.

The content is to be drafted in English in a precise, concise and clear manner. The use of illustrative visuals including graphics, pictures and videos is encouraged in order to ensure the visual appeal of the content.

The following aspects are to be mainstreamed throughout the content: victim centred approaches, gender, ethnicity, evidence based practice, do’s/don’ts and other lessons from ongoing and past experience at national, regional and global levels.
