Objective of the Assignment
The objective of this assignment is to:
- Finalize the design of the local labour market and employment opportunities assessment in Mafinga.
- Lead and support the implementation of this assessment in Mafinga within Iringa region.
- Draft a comprehensive report on the assessment findings, providing insights into the local labour market situation and identifying potential opportunities for (self-)employment, given the limited availability of precise statistical information.
The consultant will work with a team of SET staff and representatives from our partner NGOs and selected public sector training providers in the implementation of the assessment. Due to the unavailability of a body of statistics on most elements of the labour market information, it is not expected to provide precise statistical information, but through consultations and analysis to provide further insights into the labour market situation with the aim of identifying potential opportunities for (self-)employment in the selected area.
Key Tasks
The consultant will support the achievement of this objective by leading and contributing to the following:
- Review existing documentation on the labour market and employment situation in Mafinga – Iringa region. The consultant should use her/his initiative to further investigate the issue as far as information is available. Please note that SET will recruit a team to work with the consultant and will develop their ToR. The consultant will be involved in the finalization of these ToR.
- Lead and work with the team of public and NGO training provider representatives to conduct key informant interviews with stakeholders and collect additional data in the selected area to gain a good understanding of local opportunities for economic activities and skills as well as on the local non-formal public or private training providers operating in the project area. There will be flexibility for the local team to return to the field to collect additional information, if needed. In this case, the consultant is also expected to remotely guide the local team in doing so.
- Outline the LM and employment opportunities assessment and compile the information on present and anticipated economic and related skills development opportunities as well as potential training providers with a team of public and NGO training representatives.
- Analysis and Reporting: Analysis of the available information jointly with the team and lead to the completion of the report including conclusions and recommendations with a focus on SET youth vocational skills opportunities.
Key Deliverables
Specifically, this assignment will lead to the following outputs, collectively achieved with the parties involved:
- Reviewed Background Documents: A thorough review of existing background information, including the data collection tool and report template, jointly conducted with the local team.
- Collected Data and Information: Data and information collected from the selected economic hub in Iringa region, gathered jointly with the local experts.
- Analysis Report: A comprehensive report analysing the labour market, outlining conclusions, and providing recommendations for non-formal skills development opportunities.
Timeframe and Duration
This assignment is expected to be carried out from end of July to August 2025, with a total allocation of 20 working days. The indicative breakdown of activities and time is as follows:
