Project
Summary:
Summary:
The project entitled
Contributing to Improved Labour Market Information through the UN Joint
Programme on Population aims to develop certain key building blocks of a labour
market information system (LMIS) that can contribute to sound and
evidence-based policies on employment, particularly of young Ugandans. In this
regards, IOM will work closely with the Government of Uganda (GoU) to develop a
labour market needs assessment (LMNA) report focused on youth labour market
analysis This project reflects IOM’s intervention in outcome three of the
United Nations (UN) Joint Programme on Population’s (JPP) 2013 annual work
plan, financed by UK’s Department for International Development (DFID). The project
has a duration of six months starting in July 2013 and ending in December 2013.
The project has commenced with conducting roundtables and a training workshop
with stakeholders as well as the formation of a technical task force on LMNA.
Arising from these consultative processes, it was decided that two consultants
be hired to conduct an LMNA survey. Good quality and comprehensive labour
market information is a prerequisite for a well-functioning labour market,
employment creation and integration of employment issues in the national
development process. Efforts to collect maintain and disseminate labour market
information need to be expanded if Uganda wishes to harness the potential of
its population. The LMNA will also take into consideration internal and
external migration to support the government in the development of effective
employment and migration policy making. IOM is seeking the services of two
consultants to participate in the LMNA process. One specialist will cover the
food processing sector and the other, the hotel sector in Uganda. The
consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Project Officer and
overall supervision of the Programme Coordinator he/she will be responsible for
the following:
