Aug 28, International Labour Organization International Consultant to edit four ILO Statistics Reports Jobs in Ethiopia

Background

The ILO with the financial support of the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office of the United Kingdom, is implementing the “Better Regional Migration Management” (BRMM) programme in seven countries1 in the East and Horn of Africa. The aim of the programme is to strengthen the capacities of countries in East and Horn of Africa to govern labour migration by using evidence-based policies, enhancing migrant workers’ qualifications and skills, and actively engaging the social partners for improved development outcomes.

Outcome 1 of the BRMM programme aims at supporting Labour migration policies and programmes that support productive migration in East Africa to be evidence based and gender sensitive. Following the endorsement of the Guidelines concerning statistics on international labour migration by the 20th International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS) in 2018, the ILO has launched a global programme of work to support countries with strengthening their official statistics on international labour migration (ILM). This includes work to pilot new tools and methods, documentation of country case studies to identify good practices, and preparation of practical guidance and tools. To this effect, the BRMM programme has developed four practical guides for use by countries in the collection, analysis and dissemination of labour migration statistics.

The ‘Practical Guides’ are developed in English and Spanish and translated into French. To improve the quality of these Practical Guides, the ILO is seeking the service of a qualified editor and proofreader in French to review, edit, proofread and format these documents and make them ready for design and publication.
