Call for External Collaborators - Review and Update of the Youth Guarantee Glossary of Terms in Bosnia and Herzegovina - EU-ILO Technical Assistance Facility – Innovation in youth employment policy through the Youth Guarantee (phase III) (Албания - Тендер #67901181)

Description

Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is seeking an External Collaborator to update and expand the Glossary of Terms related to the Youth Guarantee in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first edition was developed in 2021–2022 under ILO and European Commission guidance. The new assignment aims to harmonize, institutionalize, and extend the glossary to ensure it reflects recent policy developments, emerging terminology, and practices in the employment and education sectors. The consultant will conduct a comprehensive review of the existing glossary, identifying outdated, missing, or inconsistent terms. New terminology will be collected from legislation, strategies, policy documents, and YG action plans approved since 2023. The consultant will harmonize entries across state, entity, and cantonal levels, ensuring bilingual equivalence (local languages and English) and consistency in Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Duplicate terms, synonyms, and acronyms will be reviewed and clarified. All definitions will be aligned with authoritative sources, including ILO, EU, and relevant BiH frameworks. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with the ILO project team and BiH stakeholders. Deliverables include an inception report with methodology and workplan, a draft glossary (to be validated in workshops with Expert Working Groups and stakeholders), and a final bilingual glossary harmonized with EU/ILO standards. The consultant will also produce a short guidance note or orientation material to support future use and maintenance of the glossary by PES, ministries, and other relevant institutions. The assignment will run from 14 November 2025 to 16 March 2026. It will require document review, coordination with stakeholders, participation in validation workshops, and delivery of high-quality, proofread outputs in MS Word. Travel within BiH (Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka, and/or Brčko District) may be required for validation workshops, with costs covered by the ILO.
