CONTEXT
The forced displacement crisis has increased in scale and complexity in recent years. According to UNHCR, there were about 68.5 million forcibly displaced persons in 20l7, of whom about 24 million are refugees and asylum-seekers. Overall men and women were almost equally represented in the population of concern. Forced displacement is increasingly protracted and disproportionally affects children: one in two refugees worldwide is a child. The overwhelming majority of the forcibly displaced are hosted in developing countries with limited resources and capacities to respond to the situations – and substantive socioeconomic impacts on both refugees and host communities.
The impact of forced displacement is substantial both among those in displacement and hosting communities. Forcibly displaced persons face specific vulnerabilities, including loss of assets and psychological trauma, limited rights, lack of opportunities, a protection risk as well as a risk to be out of school, and a lack of planning horizon. Host communities, which tend to be among the poorest in their country, typically in lagging regions, have to pursue their own development efforts in an environment that has been transformed by a large numbers of newcomers. Economic opportunities and access to jobs as well as services, especially education and protective services, are key to a successful management of such situations – for both refugees and host communities.
Action is urgently needed to mitigate the plight of both forcibly displaced persons and hosting communities. Humanitarian assistance is critical, but insufficient when situations become protracted, and they need to be complemented by a development approach that is focused on the medium- and long-term socioeconomic dimensions of the crisis. This is in line with the global effort to ‘leave no-one behind” and to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): refugees and their hosts are among the most vulnerable and ‘furthest behind’ groups.
There is a window of opportunity for improving the management of the forced displacement crises. A new consensus has emerged – especially around the need for displaced persons and host communities to access enhanced economic opportunities, and for children on the move to have effective and inclusive access to protection and education. This consensus is reflected in the 2016 New York Declaration for Migrants and Refugees, in the commitments made by the governments at the September 2016 Leaders’ Summit, in the rolling out of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), and in the adoption of the Global Compact on Refugees. It is paralleled by regional and country-level efforts, in several areas including in the Middle East and North Africa region and in the Horn of Africa.
Significant international support is needed to enhance the education, protection, and economic opportunities available in areas affected by forced displacement – in partnership with the private sector and other stakeholders. Country-level efforts need to be complemented by regional and global action. Improved data needs to be made available and evidence needs to be further built on ‘what works’ in such contexts that also embraces more vigilantly private sector solutions and crisis prevention. Most importantly, international organizations must build a new set of partnerships, which maximize synergies and leverage comparative advantages.
PARTNERSHIP FOR IMPROVING PROSPECTS
In response to this context, UNICEF, UNHCR, ILO, IFC and the World Bank, in collaboration with and supported by the Government of the Netherlands, have developed a joint and fully integrated approach to respond to the forced displacement situation in the Middle East and North Africa and the Horn of Africa by joining the partners’ efforts to develop a new paradigm in responding to forced displacement crises through the involvement of development actors.
The Partnership aims to help transform the way governments and other stakeholders, including the private sector, respond to forced displacement crises – and in particular: (1 ) to enhance the enabling environment for the socio-economic inclusion of forcibly displaced persons (to mitigate their plight during years of exile and to best prepare them for their return); (2) to enhance access to education and child protection for vulnerable children on the move; and (3) to strengthen the resilience of host communities through inclusive socio-economic development that also benefits forcibly displaced persons.
The Partnership will provide a platform for mutual learning across all institutions, including to build “bridges” across thematic areas, to strengthen dialogue with host governments and other stakeholders, and to foster Innovation. The partnership is expected to build on existing coordination arrangements between partnering organizations and leverage them as may be needed.
Synergies are expected to strengthen strategic coordination, to ensure coherence in identifying priority activities and to seek opportunities for complementarity across individual programs. The Partnership also provides a platform to identify areas in which the institutions can effectively collaborate in joint endeavors to maximize impact on the ground and to collectively stimulate dialogue with other stakeholders, including host governments.
In this partnership, ILO brings significant expertise and experience in supporting enabling environments to underpin inclusive socio-economic growth and decent work, strengthen labour markets and promote access to improved working conditions and fundamental rights at work, including through the involvement of its tripartite national constituents. The ILO stimulates labour market demand and immediate job creation through employment-intensive investment, local economic and business development and promotion of specific value chains and market systems. It provides targeted support to labour market institutions, services and compliance and monitoring mechanisms that facilitate the integration of refugees into the labour market in accordance with its strong normative foundation of international labour standards. The ILO brings also expertise on technical and vocational education and training and on the recognition of prior learning for certifying the skills of refugees to better ensure access to the labour market, and methods for assessing labour market demand to provide the right skills to refugees needed by employers.
SCOPE OF WORK
As part of the programming process under the Dutch partnership, joint Vision Notes at global and country levels have been developed as a first step in the process. These Vision Notes have been followed by the development and design of costed work plans for year 1 between October 2019 and 2020 which include the key activities planned by the partners for 2019, including diagnostics, pilot demonstration activities and consultations with other stakeholders.
Against this backdrop, the purpose of the assignment is to support the ILO to promote the visibility of the partnership, develop communication products and support dialogue forums with constituents and other stakeholders on the Recommendation 205 and the guiding principles on the access of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons to the labor market.
The work of the consultant will require liaising with DCOMM and IT specialists at the ILO to ensure that communication and advocacy guidelines are followed, as well as supporting the programme team in consultations and exchanges among and between partners relating to knowledge management and communications issues, including partnership branding, guidelines and joint activities.

Rapid Action Research for Market Systems Intervention Design in Dadaab

TERMS OF REFERENCE
The ILO, in collaboration with the UNHCR, conducted a market systems development analysis in the Dadaab region entitled “Doing Business in Dadaab – Market Systems Analysis for Local Economic Development in Dadaab”, published in April 2019. In the context of the Dutch Partnership, the recommendations from the report will be translated into market systems development interventions, with the aim of strengthening the local market system and, more specifically, the agriculture and waste management sectors, which have been identified as having high potential for the creation of economic and employment opportunity in Dadaab.
Key Findings and Recommendations of the Assessment
The market systems analysis identifies two sectors with potential to create employment and economic opportunity for host communities and refugees: (i) agriculture and (ii) waste management. Following a socio-economic assessment detailing the skills and competencies of refugees and host communities, an analysis of the market system elucidates the regulatory realities of doing business in Dadaab as well as the availability and accessibility of market supporting functions such as access to finance and other business development services for host and refugee communities. Combined with an in-depth analysis of the two selected sectors, the key findings of the assessment are:

The agricultural sector is growing in Dadaab as refugees and host communities are increasingly turning toward farming to increase their income and demand for fresh fruit and vegetable is substantial. The availability of water through extensive boreholes (dug in and around the camps but now unused as 2 of 5 camps were shut down), communal land, and high market demand for fresh fruit and vegetable (as this is not part of refugees’ food rations) make farming quite profitable or both host communities and refugees. In order to improve the functioning of the sector and the local populations’ access to economic opportunities in the sector, the following gaps will need to be addressed: improving farming skills, clarifying rights to land usage and the viability of joint land use, and strengthening linkages between local farmers and off-taker markets.
The waste management sector is still in its infancy and would require longer-term investments in order for substantive employment creation to materialize. Nonetheless, a household survey revealed that waste production among host and refugee communities is substantial and an increasing source of tension between refugee and host communities. An emergent waste management industry in Nairobi creates opportunities for Dadaab to collect, pre-process and profitably sell waste for onward processing and recycling. Enhancing the waste management sector would create demand for low and high skilled labour as well as reduce environmental degradation and contribute to social cohesion in the area. Recommendations for interventions include strengthening the camp’s and Dadaab town’s waste collection system, scaling up extant waste pre-processing plants, and creating market linkages to waste processing companies in Nairobi (who have expressed interest).
Rapid Action Research for Intervention Design

Scope of work:

The objective of the rapid action research is to define concrete market systems development interventions for the agriculture and waste management sectors. The research will take the report’s key recommendations as a basis and collect selected additional data through rapid action research in order to clarify the points below and enable the design of market systems development interventions.
Agriculture. Follow-up on the assessment’s recommendations and to develop a clear understanding of how the barriers preventing refugees and host communities from producing and profitably selling produce (e.g. access to land, inputs, and skill development) can be overcome through market systems interventions. Concretely, but not limited to, the rapid action research should ascertain the following:
Determine the legal and cultural environment regarding access to land for refugee and host communities, specifically but not limited to cooperative structures that would allow refugees and host communities to jointly cultivate land
Determine availability of water and access to boreholes by refugee and host communities
Determine skills gap among refugee and host population regarding farming techniques
Rapid assessment of availability of agriculture inputs on local markets
Rapid assessment of profitability of produce sales in local markets (Dadaab camps, Dadaab town, Garissa), taking into account local pricing as well as costs such as transport to be incurred in order to sell in such markets.
Estimate role of stigma preventing entry into agriculture sector
Waste Management: Follow-up on the assessment´s recommendations to strengthen the rudimentary local waste management system and to develop business linkages to waste processing companies in Nairobi and elsewhere. Concretely, but not limited to, the rapid action research should ascertain the following:
Engage with waste processing companies in Nairobi and Garissa, develop concrete business models and to determine the economic modalities of waste collection, pre-processing (in Dadaab or elsewhere), transporting, and final processing can become profitable. As needed, this will also involve engaging with the extant rudimentary waste collection and processing infrastructure that currently exists in Dadaab.
Determine how stigma around waste management may be overcome through concrete interventions
Determine the infrastructure and skills among local host communities and refugees that are necessary to ensure sufficient waste collection and pre-processing on site
Estimate role of stigma preventing entry into waste management sector.Deliverables
On winning the bid, the consultant will be required to present a solid plan of action with relevant methodologies and time frames.
The ILO will expect to receive a report of a maximum length of 30 pages excluding annexes at the end of the assignment. The report should contain analysis of the market systems and recommendations as defined in the scope of work.
The consultant will make a presentation of findings and recommendations to stakeholders in Garissa County at a date to be jointly determined.

Education (knowledge)
Post-graduate qualification in relevant field (social science, social policy, economics, development studies, etc.).
Experience Required:

10 years of progressive experience in market systems and value chains development.
Context awareness of Dadaab and the larger Garissa County.
Awareness of the business legal frameworks in Kenya, and County and National Development Plans.
Knowledge and understanding of cutting edge methodologies of developing sustainable market systems.

Time frame
The process will take approximately 20 days that include preparation, field work, and data analysis and report writing. The expected date of the start of the evaluation is 15th November 2019 and final report will be produced by 15th December 2019.

IntroductionLarge mixed migration movements continue to top the global political agenda, as reflected in the 2016 UN New York Declaration, and remain at the forefront of concerns, discussions and collaboration across the multilateral system and beyond. These movements create considerable challenges for countries of first asylum, transit and destination, as well as countries of origin, including through impact on socio-economic environments, such as labour markets of host countries, particularly where these may have already been under pressure and there is high unemployment. The majority of refugee populations are hosted by low- and middle-income countries. As displacement has become increasingly protracted, responses are becoming more focused on durable solutions to support more dignified, inclusive and comprehensive programmes for refugees and the communities that host them to facilitate self-reliance and empowerment and strengthen social cohesion. It is paralleled by regional and country-level efforts in several areas, including in the Middle East and North Africa region and in the Horn of Africa.In this context, the Government of the Netherlands has launched a new partnership initiative – the PROSPECTS Partnership Programme (hereafter referred to as the “programme”) – built on the combined strengths, experience and values of specific development and humanitarian organizations to develop a new paradigm in responding to forced displacement crises. The partners include: the Government of the Netherlands, the International Finance Corporation, the ILO, the UNHCR, UNICEF and the World Bank. The programme aims to help transform the way governments and other stakeholders, including the private sector, respond to forced displacement crises and in particular: (1) to enhance the enabling environment for the socio-economic inclusion of forcibly displaced persons (to mitigate their plight during years of exile and to best prepare them for their return); (2) to enhance access to education and child protection for vulnerable children on the move; and (3) to strengthen the resilience of host communities through inclusive socio-economic development that also benefits forcibly displaced persons.The programme will be grounded on results-based and country-led approaches (“bottom up”) in two identified regions: MENA, including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, and the Horn of Africa, including Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan. It aims to accelerate efforts to find sustainable solutions for countries confronted with large influxes of refugees. It will also aim to develop and implement evidence-based solutions, tailored to each context – as well as to test, and learn from, innovative operational solutions, including improving the availability, collection and use of data and evidence. The overall ILO’s vision within the programme is to strengthen decent work in countries impacted by forced displacement to mitigate stress factors at all levels and support inclusive socio-economic enablers for access to labour markets and empowerment of host communities and of forcibly displaced populations.The ILO will bring to the programme significant expertise and experience in supporting enabling environments to underpin inclusive socio-economic growth and decent work, strengthen labour markets and promote access to improved working conditions and fundamental rights at work, including through the involvement of its tripartite national constituents The ILO will stimulate labour market demand and immediate job creation through employment-intensive investment, local economic and business development and promotion of specific value chains and market systems.
