Details

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 Regional Office for Arab States seeks an external collaborator to prepare data-driven draft sections for the Arab States Employment and Social Outlook 2027. The assignment covers the economic and social context; key labour market trends; working conditions and social protection; skills development; and labour market outcomes for women, youth, migrant workers, refugees and other relevant groups across 12 Arab States. The consultant will analyse comparable national and international data, prepare clear cross-country and subregional comparisons, and submit source-referenced text, tables, charts and editable supporting datasets. The separate thematic background paper on structural transformation and trade/economic diversification is outside this assignment.

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.

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.
