Call for External Collaborator – Strengthening Social Protection Provisions in BLAs/MoUs (South Asia–GCC Corridor). (Албания - Тендер #69462360)

Description

Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator. Below is a summary of the work to be performed: The ILO STREAM Programme seeks an External Collaborator to undertake analytical and advisory assignment to strengthen the inclusion, clarity and implementation of social protection provisions in BLAs/MoUs governing labour migration, with a focus on South Asia–GCC corridor. The assignment will review a sample of South Asia–GCC BLAs/MoUs and comparator instruments from other migration corridors; assess the scope and operational quality of social protection provisions, implementation arrangements, and the drafting language used in social security clauses; and benchmark findings against relevant International Labour Standards and principles, as well as relevant national legal frameworks (including equality of treatment). The work will also examine how BLAs/MoUs are developed, negotiated and used in practice, including post-signature follow-up mechanisms and key bottlenecks affecting effectiveness. Based on the analysis, the consultant will produce: (i) recommendations to refine existing BLAs/MoUs guidance from a social protection perspective; (ii) an assessment framework to guide feasible clause options by country context; and (iii) a practical, negotiator-oriented Guidance Note with model/illustrative clauses, phased options and negotiation-oriented recommendations to support more operational and enforceable social protection provisions for migrant workers. Please refer to the detailed TORs attached to this Call for more guidance. If you are interested, please express interest and follow the instructions attached to consult the detailed terms of reference and other relevant information in the ILO e-sourcing platform. Please submit your proposal before the specified deadline. Thank you.
