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 consultant will
conduct a diagnostic study using an integrated approach aligned
with ILO methodology. The study will: -Assess Malawi's
socio-economic and labour market context, with a focus on rural
areas and the agriculture sector, where the majority of employment
is concentrated. -Develop a comprehensive profile of informality,
including its scale, characteristics, and working conditions, with
disaggregation by sector, gender, age, and employment status, and
identification of the most affected groups. -Analyse key drivers of
informality, including structural constraints, regulatory barriers,
weak institutions, limited access to resources, socio-cultural
norms, gender inequality, poverty, and climate change. -Review
legal and institutional frameworks to identify gaps, enforcement
challenges, and barriers to formalisation. -Assess social
protection systems, focusing on coverage, adequacy, and access
barriers—particularly for informal and rural
workers—and identify innovative delivery mechanisms. -Explore
pathways to formalisation, including incentives, value chain
approaches, and financing options. -Apply a participatory approach
to ensure stakeholder input informs findings and recommendations.
If you are interested, please express interest and follow the
