ObjectiveThe objective of the assignment is to produce a pamphlet accessible to all social partners and others, of all backgrounds and education levels, covering all complimentary standards that apply to migrant workers and highlighted the rights granted to them.
Scope of work
A consultant will be recruited to create a comprehensive, yet user-friendly pamphlet summarizing all the complementary International Labour Standards that relate to, contain specific provisions on, and apply to migrant workers.
The consultant will include brief information on the process of ratification and reporting, as well as suggest tips for the domestication of international labour standards.
The information will need to be synthetized and communicated in a clear, succinct and straightforward language.
Expected Result
The pamphlet aims to strengthen tripartite constituents, particularly social partners’ knowledge of international labour standards that relate to, contain specific provisions on, and apply to migrant workers.
It will contribute to building their capacity to get involved in advocacy and lobbying activities on promoting equality of treatment and non-discrimination between national and migrant workers and the ratification and domestication of international labour standards.
Methodology
The consultant will go through each of the above-mentioned instruments to synthetize and highlight key rights, explicitly or implicitly, included in them on the protection of migrant workers.
He/she will refer to the 2016 Promoting Fair Migration, General Survey concerning the migrant workers instruments, Report of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations, and other reports of the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations related to the instruments mentioned previously.
The consultant will consult ILO’s website and look for material produced by ILO NORMES on the promotion of the ratification of ILO Conventions.
The consultant will extract from all of these reports key messages to be included in the pamphlet.
The pamphlet should not be more than 60 pages long and will comprise the following chapters:
