Call for consultants: Development of Occupational Safety and Health Profile in Bangsamoro region

The ILO seeks an individual consultant to gather information, conduct consultations, and develop the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Profile for the Bangsamoro region under the ARISE-Child Labour Project. Deadline for submission of proposals is 1 May 2025 via email.

The primary objective of this consultancy is to assist the Bangsamoro regional government in developing an Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) profile for the region, in close collaboration with social partners. The process should be inclusive, consultative, and gender-responsive, ensuring active participation of all relevant stakeholders across appropriate levels.

The consultant will undertake the following responsibilities and tasks, in line with the approved budget and timeline:

• Collect information and data. Gather and review existing information from published reports, research studies, government sources, and other relevant websites. Prepare a proposed list of government officials, employers, workers, and other key stakeholders to be interviewed.
• Conduct interview with key informants
• Integrate collected information and interviews into the draft Bangsamoro regional OSH profile. The profile must present a comprehensive inventory of the existing system, frameworks, tools, data and resources available in the region on occupational safety and health, which summarizes the existing situation on occupational safety and health. The elements of the profile must follow Recommendation 197.
• The regional OSH profile should serve as a valuable foundation for shaping ongoing and future OSH initiatives designed to achieve a safe and healthy working environment in all workplaces in the region. The profile should be used as a basis for formulating and reviewing the regional OSH programme by helping identify gaps in the existing legal, institutional, administrative, and technical infrastructure necessary for effective OSH management.
• Ensure that all elements outlined in Section V Necessary content of the OSH Profile of the TOR are captured.
• Submit the first draft of the BARMM OSH Profile to the ILO and MOLE for review and comments.
