    Introduction
    While forcibly displaced persons face specific vulnerabilities, including psychological trauma, lack of opportunity and protection risks, host communities also struggle to pursue their own development efforts in an environment that has been transformed by a large influx of newcomers. As displacement has become increasingly protracted, responses are focusing more on durable solutions backed by more dignified, inclusive and comprehensive programmes for refugees and the communities that host them.
    In response to the challenges facing both host communities and refugees, a new partnership initiative titled: ‘PROSPECTS – Partnership for improving Prospects for host communities and forcibly displaced persons’, has been launched by the Government of the Netherlands that brings together the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank. The Partnership has a four-year initial time horizon (2019-2023) where partners will join their efforts to develop a new paradigm in responding to forced displacement crises in 8 countries (Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Sudan, and Uganda).
    PROSPECTS Kenya
    The overall objective of PROSPECTS in Kenya is to improve the living standards and inclusiveness of refugees, asylum-seekers and vulnerable host communities, by contributing to the expansion of socio-economic opportunities through better education and mainstreamed protection interventions.
    With a geographical focus on Turkana and Garissa Counties, PROSPECTS Kenya will work under three main pillars. The first pillar, Education and Learning focuses on increasing the number of forcibly displaced persons and host communities with quality education and training. The second pillar on Employment with Dignity seeks to increase the number of forcibly displaced persons and host communities with enhanced livelihoods and/or employment in decent work through improvements in labour market governance supporting transition to and entry into employment and formalisation.

  • Review of National Policy, Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks, and Practice: A Baseline Study for Kenya

    Review of National Policy, Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks, and Practice: A Baseline Study for Kenya

    The consultancy entitled, “The National Policy, Legislative and Regulatory Frameworks and Practice Review”, aims to establish baseline situations in four countries in East Africa – Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia and Sudan – in the area of relevant policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks and current practice in terms of implementation in relation to the access of refugees to the labour markets, employment, livelihood and training opportunities, including self-employment and business development. This will provide ILO PROSPECTS programme teams a clear understanding of the current status (or not) of these frameworks and how they are being applied (or not).
    Before the Partnership can begin planning its interventions around policy advocacy and supporting government and other efforts to develop or reform relevant frameworks on access to education and training, active labour market programmes, the right to work and rights at work, including social security and protection and freedom of association, an understanding of the current political, legal, and regulatory environment in regards to those with refugee status is required for each of the targeted countries.
    Importantly, it will also provide a comparison on national policies and legislation against what actually happens in practice thereby revealing the capacities and abilities of government ministries, institutions, social partners and non-government actors to enact and implement and inform further capacity-building interventions.
     
    The consultant/service provider, in close collaboration with and under the technical supervision of IMPACT Initiatives, an NGO with expertise in designing and conducting research for actors in the humanitarian and development sector, will be required to:

    Identify relevant policies, legislation and regulations and analyse them in regards to the refugees’ access to employment, livelihood, and training opportunities, and to rights at work.
    Identify and review literature and secondary data sources on policy, legislation and regulations, and assess their actual implementation on the ground, thereby avoiding duplication of existing legal reviews and studies and leveraging these sources where relevant.
    Conduct a Gap Analysis against the assessment framework that highlights implementation gaps, and needs and expectations.
    Conduct key informant interviews of identified national and international actors to assess the practical application of policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks and identify challenges that will need to be addressed.
    Conduct KI interviews with refugees and host communities, and also focus group discussions, to better assess knowledge and understanding of these policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks.
    Conduct validation exercises in Sudan to ensure the establishment of key recommendations going forward in terms of identifying gaps and challenges that can be addressed through the PROSPECTS and related programmes, including policy advocacy and supporting either policy, legislation and regulatory development and/or reform as appropriate.
    Develop the Sudan report that summarizes the main findings and possible recommendations for the PROSPECTS programme at the country level.

     
    The consultant/service provider will be expected to conduct these activities only for Sudan, however, it is important to note the research and subsequent report will be expected to follow a predetermined assessment framework that will allow for their findings to be comparable against other countries identified for this study. The findings from all countries will be eventually aggregated into a global-level analysis report. Further details are outlined in the methodology section below.
     
    Scope
    The scope of work would identify, examine and analyse policy, legislation and regulations in so far as these pertain to the access of refugees to labour markets, employment and self-employment (formal and informal), training, business development and other income-generating activities. It would also examine and allow for the comparison on identified national and regional policies and legislation, against 8 the ability and capacity of government ministries, institutions, social partners and nongovernment actors to enact and implement.
    Areas of focus should include:

    Current refugee, asylum and immigration policy and legislation and relevant secondary legislation and regulations, with particular focus on issues relevant to access to work (formal and informal), including but not limited to the right to work, to set up business, legal identity, access to mobile services in the context of digital learning and economy, access to justice including grievance mechanisms (to protect rights at work), freedom of association, freedom of movement, access to education and training, employment services, limitations on sectors and areas of work available to refugees, etc. This analysis will also consider mechanisms in place to govern the access of refugees to labour markets and economic opportunities, such as having to apply for work permits and the regulations applying to these systems, including quotas. In addition, it will also consider naturalisation pathways open to refugees through immigration/asylum policies and regulations.
    The baselines will also examine the issue of recognition of education, vocational, academic and professional qualifications of refugees and how this process is managed, if at all, and the onward principle of refugees being able, for example, to practice liberal professions.
    Where governments have established and apply the right to work for refugees, this review should examine how this works in practice, including any barriers that may affect the application of this right, for example, bureaucratic hurdles, lack of information, limited capacity of government institutions to support access to this right, behaviour and attitude of employers and national workers, etc.
    The same will apply for the right of refugees to set up businesses or cooperatives and access to financial services, looking closely at challenges they may face in accessing this right, legal and bureaucratic obstacles, lack of understanding of services they may be able to obtain, etc.
    Freedom of movement and association are two fundamental principles that support the right to work and rights at works and it will be important to examine how these rights are applied if at all and whether refugees are appropriately informed. Freedom of association can apply to refugees being able to join trade unions or businesses/self-employed being able to join sectoral and trade associations, including cooperatives. The other part of this analysis would examine the readiness of these national bodies to accept refugees into membership, including whether their regulations are adequate and appropriate and whether information is being shared among refugees as well as these actors.
    The above show how important it will be for the assessment to cover policy and practice as these are important indicators to address impediments to comprehensive and fair implementation, and therefore critical information for planning and programme design.

  • Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) External Collaborator

    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) External Collaborator

    Background and Context of Recognition of Prior Learning & Certification

    Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process used to identify, assess and certify a person’s knowledge, skills and competencies – regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred – against prescribed standards for a part (modular) or full qualification (NSW DET, 2009; MQA, 2009; VETA, 2014). It is an official or formal recognition of one’s knowledge, and skill acquired or learned on the job or informal training or via life experience or any combination of these three. The RPL system focusses on the outcomes rather than how, when or where the learning occurred. It gives a person credit for skills and knowledge acquired at school, work, home, jua kali (informal) sector or through clubs, hobbies, and work experiences. Therefore, RPL has the potential to address the needs of disadvantaged groups and have a positive impact on entry into formal training. In addition, it can bring benefits to the workplace by enhancing employability and a better matching of skills, demand, and supply.

    In Kenya, the mandate to implement RPL is under the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA). The Authority was established in 2015 through the Kenya National Qualifications Framework (KNQF) Act No. 22 of 2014 (and KNQF Regulations, 2018). The Authority was set up to coordinate and harmonize; education, training, assessment and quality assurance to all qualifications awarded in the country, with the view to improving quality and international comparability.

    The structure of the colonial education system left many Kenyans with large gaps in their education, training, and development, leading to inequalities of opportunity, illiteracy and unemployment. Despite the concerted efforts to address inequalities since independence, skills development outcomes have not matched with market needs. Most skilled youth in Kenya get their training through the informal apprenticeship under the instruction of Master Crafts Person (MCP). Enrolment in vocational training schemes remains low, at the same time the institutions experience massive dropout rates. This is because formal skills training is costly for households; leaving informal apprenticeships to provide the technical skills needed by the Kenyan youth. On the other hand, youth going through informal apprenticeship do not get certificates upon completion of training, which impedes the recognition of their learning by third parties especially formal learning institutions, employers and business opportunities where professional certificates are a requirement. This makes it difficult for the youth to transition into formal learning systems, employment in the formal sector or grow their enterprises.

    It is therefore with this realisation that the RPL process is being used as a means to address the inequalities of the past, facilitating mobility, progression and access within education, training and development career paths. RPL systems makes it possible for people with informal experiences to gain formal recognition of their skills and competencies in order to advance their academic careers or training.

    RPL Support under “PROSPECTS” Partnership

    The PROSPECTS partnership is a collaboration of the ILO, UNICEF, UNHCR, IFC and the World Bank, with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Netherlands, which aims to complement humanitarian assistance with a development approach focusing on the nexuses between education (including skills development and training), protection and employment. This is significant given the displacement trends with UNHCR projecting that Kenya is likely to continue to be amongst the top refugee hosting countries in Africa.

    Under the partnership, the ILO intends to increase the number of refugees and host communities’ members with quality education and skills training and help transform the way governments and other stakeholders including the private sector, respond to forced displacement. The ILO interventions will serve to make refugees and members of the host communities more attractive in the labour market, by ensuring that they have skills that are in demand, and that these skills are recognised and certified. By so doing, the project will mitigate their plight during years of exile and best prepare them for their return through socio-economic inclusion and strengthen the resilience of host communities through inclusive socio-economic development.

    Among the key intervention areas identified by KNQA and other stakeholders during ILO consultations, is the need for support towards digitization of RPL system (RPL IMS), awareness creation and sensitization of stakeholders on RPL policy 2020, capacity strengthening and field testing/piloting of the existing guidelines.

    Donor Agency: United States Department of Labor (USDOL)
    Executing Agency: International Labour Organization (Country Office for Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi)**
    Implementing agency: National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) **
    Geographical coverage: Kenya**
    Consultancy dates September to November 2020**
    I. Project overview

    The Better Utilization of Skills for Youth through Quality Apprenticeship (BUSY project) is a four-year initiative financed by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), and implemented by International Labour Organization (ILO) in partnership with the Ministry of Labour, the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) and the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU-K).

    The overall project goal is to increase decent job opportunities and employability of young people, thereby addressing unemployment, vulnerability and poverty in urban and rural settings. The project’s objective is to improve the capacity of Kenyan government, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and civil society organizations to establish and expand workplace based training programs with a focus on vulnerable and marginalized youth, in particular adolescents at or above the legal working age who are engaged in or at risk of engaging in child labor.

    The BUSY project is expected to achieve the following three long-term outcomes:

    · Laws or policies supporting quality workplace-based training opportunities for youth in Kenya, including vulnerable and marginalized youth, are improved and / or implemented by key stakeholders;
    · Kenyan government, employers’ and workers’ organizations, and other stakeholders implement best practices related to workplace-based training for youth, including the most vulnerable and marginalized; and,
    · The quality of existing public and private programs in Kenya that provide vulnerable and marginalized youth with prerequisite skills to enter workplace-based training programs is improved.
    II. Background and context of workplace-based training programs in Kenya

    Workplace Based Training, or Industrial training programs as referred to in the Industrial Training Amendment Act CAP 237, 2012 covers industrial attachments and apprenticeships. However, while industrial attachments are based on students being placed in formal enterprises to gain knowledge and practical skills, most apprentices in Kenya are trained under the guidance of Master Craft persons in the informal sector and expert workers in formal employment.

    Currently, the formal TVET system in Kenya lacks the capacity to absorb the numbers of young persons coming into the labour market and lacks overall relevance to the labour market. Consequently, young women and men often obtain their training through the informal apprenticeship system. Ideally, apprentices gain practical skills under the instruction of the employer or Master Craft Persons. In this sense, the informal economy provides an easy access for a large number of youth to receive skills training in both rural and urban settings, linked to labour market demands. This allows for school dropouts to enrol in skill upgrading schemes that are less costly for both beneficiaries and government agencies alike. But there are challenges with this system of training, which is not geared to transitioning informal apprentices into the formal economy.

    From the findings of BUSY Project Pre Situational Analysis (PSA) studies, conducted by FKE and COTU-K on employers and workers respectively, the quality of skills gained through informal apprenticeships may vary substantively from one provider to the other. This is attributed to lack of uniform training standards, variations in technology and facilities offered by the Master Craftspersons, lack of structure of training activities, differences regarding knowledge, skills and productivity of Master Craftspersons and lack of a mechanism / body that oversees / ensure the quality of training. Likewise, trainees’ learning is not certified upon completion, impeding the recognition of their learning by third parties, especially employers. This makes it difficult for youth to transition into employment in the formal sector. Consequently, informal apprentices are more vulnerable to exploitation thereby increasing their risk of being used as cheap labor, receiving incomplete knowledge that does not allow them to work efficiently in a specific trade. Hence, their “training period” may in some cases be extended indefinitely or “continue” on poor payment.

    Further, the ILO BUSY project conducted a study on past and present, international and local, public and private, including community and faith-based WBT initiatives/programs for vulnerable and marginalized youth in Kenya. The Study revealed that most of the WBT implementers, especially MCPs do not have sufficient knowledge and pedagogical skills for training and mentoring apprentices. They therefore fell short in implementing quality [1]and effective formal and informal apprenticeships for vulnerable young men and women.

    III. Rationale of the Assignment

    The overall objective of BUSY project is to build the capacity of social partners and stakeholders to start or improve the quality of workplace based training programs for vulnerable and marginalized youth in the country. In this regard, it is obliged to offer training to targeted employers, workers, government and stakeholder organizations for purposes of enhancing their respective knowledge and skills for developing and offering quality and effective formal and informal WBT programs for vulnerable young men and women. BUSY project will work with NITA to develop guidelines to upgrade pedagogical and mentorship skills of MCPs as one of the recommendations that were made by the Pre Situational Analysis (PSA) studies carried out at the beginning of the project.

    The pilot training program will be implemented in the three project implementation counties, namely Kilifi, Busia and Kitui.

    Introduction

    Large 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 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 (IFC), the ILO, the UNHCR, UNICEF and the World Bank. 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 be grounded on results-based and country-led approaches (“bottom up”) in two identified regions: MENA and the Horn of Africa with Kenya being one of the target Countries. The programme 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.Within the policy and procedural requirements established by the ILO and the Partnership Programme, the Skills Development Coordinator will support the Programme Manager (PM) with the day-to-day management of the programme implementation in field locations of Host Communities and Refugees in Garissa and Turkana Counties and provide field level technical inputs and advisory services as required towards the development and execution of future programmes to be developed in the programme fields of activity. S/he will ensure that the objectives stated in the programme documents (Country Vision Note, exploratory phase and future Country Programme) are attained at field level, within the stated timeframe and budget and ensure compliance with the ILO and the programme’s financial and operating procedures. The incumbent will promote ILO policies in the programme-related technical areas and other components of the ILO Decent Work Agenda and in line with the Decent Work Country Programme.
