Description
Agency: ILO | Reference: rfx_7350_ROAF | Type: Call for individual consultants
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 study will:

-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.
