Background |
|
As part of the implementation of the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGONU), the Ministry of Labour was separated with the Ministry of Public Services and Human Resource Development. With the aim to promote employment opportunities in the local economy, the Ministry of Labour has been engaging with private sector and organized series of consultation meetings. Throughout the consultation meetings, the Ministry of Labour acknowledged the crucial role of regulatory frameworks including relevant policies to enable the improvement of labour market and private sector development that contribute to South Sudan’s inclusive economic growth. The Ministry of labour believe that adequate regulatory framework must be in place to enable effective facilitation to the private sector, including potential foreign direct investors.
In this context, the Ministry of Labour in partnership with UNDP South Sudan seeks to engage the services of qualified consultants to review and draft South Sudan’s Labour Standard, including the Minimum Wage and Employment Regulations. These policies will provide an enabling environment to increase employment and productivity of the economically active labour force. The purpose of the assignment is to provide technical support and guidance to the Directorate of Policy in the drafting and review of the national regulatory framework on minimum wage and employment regulations in South Sudan. The lead Consultant (international) with the support of a national consultant will work closely with the Director General for Labour and Industrial Relations and Director General for Policy, Planning and Labour Statistics and other relevant ministry staff. The Consultants will ensure that regulatory framework (policies on minimum wage and employment regulations) are developed consistent with the Labour Act 2017, and International Labour Organisation (ILO) standards. The main objective of the Consultancy is to draft the Minimum Wage Fixation and Employment Policy of South Sudan.
