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 national consultant will conduct a rapid capacity-needs assessment of the National Employment Services Centre (NESC) at the Federal Government level in Mogadishu. The consultant will review NESC’s mandate, structure, staffing, procedures, tools and available resources; assess staff skills and priority training needs; and examine services provided to jobseekers and employers, including registration, counselling, vacancy collection, job matching, referrals, data management and reporting. The assessment will also consider the accessibility of services for women, youth and persons with disabilities. The consultant will consult MoLSA, social partners, private employment agencies and selected stakeholders to identify practical areas for coordination. Based on the findings, the consultant will prepare a capacity needs assessment report and a prioritized, implementable capacity development plan indicating responsible actors, timelines and estimated resources. The consultant will co-facilitate a validation workshop and finalize all outputs based on feedback from the ILO, MoLSA and stakeholders.

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.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
