Call for External Collaborator – to map process workflows and procedures of labour rights monitoring mechanisms in the Philippines

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: The consultant will assess labour rights and freedom of association (FOA) monitoring mechanisms in the Philippines through two interrelated components: (1) mapping and analysing the workflows, procedures and coordination arrangements of existing labour and human rights monitoring mechanisms; and (2) developing institutional options, including the possible operationalization of an independent, non-judicial body, in line with the 2023 ILO High-Level Tripartite Mission (HLTM) recommendations. The assignment will review relevant laws, policies and procedures and consult key stakeholders, including CHR, EO 23 IAC, AO 35 IAC, NTIPC-MB/RTMBs and other relevant bodies. It will map the lifecycle of labour rights and FOA-related cases, from reporting and intake through investigation, referral, monitoring, remedies, resolution and follow-up, including coordination, information-sharing and case management arrangements. The consultant will identify gaps, overlaps, bottlenecks and data management challenges and assess existing mechanisms against the functions envisioned by the HLTM. Based on the findings, the consultant will recommend institutional arrangements to strengthen coordination, case management, data sharing, access to remedies and accountability. Outputs will include validated process maps, assessment reports, institutional recommendations, implementation options and supporting documentation. 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.
