Dear Bidder, The International Labour Office (ILO) is looking for an individual to undertake work as an External Collaborator.

The consultant will assess working conditions, income, legal status, and access to social protection. Key tasks include a literature review, development of methodology and tools, field surveys and interviews with delivery workers across Kurdistan governorates (Erbil, Duhok, Sulaymaniyah, Halabja), and mapping digital labour platforms. The consultant will also engage with government, platform companies, worker organizations, and civil society.

The consultant will facilitate two multi-stakeholder workshops to validate findings and co-develop policy recommendations. Final deliverables include a comprehensive report and policy options to inform regulatory and programmatic action in support of decent work for delivery workers, especially refugees and IDPs.
