Project Context and Scope
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is implementing a 15-month project that aims at improving access to labour and educational mobility pathways for Syrian refugees and Lebanese jobseekers in Lebanon.
Regular migration pathways enable people to move to, enter, and stay, temporarily or permanently, in a given State in ways that are authorized by the law of that State and international agreements to which it is a party. IOM’s work on facilitating regular pathways involves efforts to support States in establishing new regular pathways, help expand and implement existing ones, and enhance regular pathways for better impact. Regular pathways are put into practice through a broad range of interconnected implementation mechanisms and interventions throughout the migration cycle. These can include, but are not limited to, documentation and legal identity services, visa systems, protection needs and vulnerability screening, health and social services, ethical recruitment processes, skills training and recognition, integration and safe and dignified return and reintegration support.
As part of the project, IOM seeks to engage an experienced consultant who will conduct a desk-based review and selected key informant interviews (KII) on existing labour and educational mobility pathways for refugees targeting the abovementioned destination countries.
The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Senior Specialist for Labour Migration of the IOM Lebanon Labour Migration Unit, with coordination from the Head of Programmes.
The information collected through the desk review and KII will be presented in a comparative manner and in the form of:
- A narrative report including:
- Brief description of the programmes
- Target populations and requirements for eligibility to the programmes, including documentation required of participants
- Process flow mapping including identification of stakeholders and partners involved in the implementation of the programmes
- Challenges and lessons learnt in the programme implementation
- Opportunities for scale up
- An annex including a list of shortage occupations in the selected countries[1].
- A simplified aide memoire/ desk aid in Excel
- A power point presentation of findings
Labour programmes to be reviewed include but are not limited to the Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot (EMPP) and related programmes in Canada; the Community Support Program in Australia; the Skilled Refugee Labour Program in Australia; the Displaced Talent Mobility Pilot and Healthcare Pilot in the United Kingdom; and the Welcome Corps at Work in the United States. Educational pathways include international students' scholarships and related programmes. Participants to the KII will be selected together with IOM. Findings will be presented virtually to IOM in a final validation workshop.
