Call for External Collaborator – To carry out Diagnostic Study on the State of Labour Market Information System in Nigeria, ILO CO-Abuja ACTION Project

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: Conduct a comprehensive diagnostic assessment of Nigeria’s Labour Market Information System (LMIS), examining data production, institutional arrangements, governance, and system sustainability. This will involve reviewing existing labour market statistics, mapping institutions involved in data collection and analysis, and evaluating current mechanisms, surveys, and databases against international standards. The consultant will assess alignment of national practices with global definitions and classifications, analyse institutional sustainability and financing arrangements, and evaluate data governance, including legal mandates, datasharing agreements, confidentiality safeguards, and accountability mechanisms. Based on these analyses, a prioritized roadmap for LMIS strengthening will be developed, outlining short-, medium-, and long-term actions, sequencing, capacity development, financing, and risk mitigation. The assignment will culminate in a final validated report, incorporating stakeholder feedback and presented in a validation workshop, providing actionable guidance to enhance the effectiveness, coherence, and sustainability of Nigeria’s LMIS. 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.
