<p>&nbsp;ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVES</p><p>The objectives are to:</p><p>1) Strengthen the existing draft evidence base on how social security entitlements are interpreted, applied and enforced, and extend it to the mechanisms through which workers raise and resolve complaints and appeals.</p><p>2) Secure tripartite and institutional validation of that consolidated evidence base.</p><p>3) Build the capacity of those who decide, administer and support social security claims, through curricula national training institutions can keep running after this agreement ends.</p><p>4) Place before decision-makers a prioritised set of options, with order-of-magnitude resource implications, for strengthening the legal framework and the routes by which workers pursue their entitlements.</p><p>4. SCOPE OF WORK AND METHODOLOGY</p><p>This agreement is the sole arrangement for this work stream and all activities are delivered within the agreed value. Bidders shall not assume that any event, expert engagement, expert fee, translation, printing, transport, entry permit, participant payment or venue requirement is met separately. Requirements outside the priced scope must be raised in the Technical and Financial Proposal and, if necessary, at the Inception Report stage.</p><p>Activity numbers, sizes, sequencing, locations and participant numbers are indicative and adjustable within the agreed value and period by written agreement. The deliverables in Section 6 are the binding outputs.</p><p>Component A. Strengthening the analytical report</p><p>1) Starting material. The ILO's draft report is the base text of the deliverable, not background material; proposals set out how they would appraise the full draft at inception and what they expect to remain, and the Inception Report fixes the remaining scope with the ILO on the basis of the draft as received. The ILO holds the rights in the draft, grants the Implementing Partner the right to use and modify it for this agreement, and determines authorship and acknowledgement in any publication.</p><p>2) Higher court analysis. Strengthen the analysis of how the higher courts interpret and enforce the framework, against a sample frame agreed at inception, bounded to the Court of Cassation and, for constitutionality challenges only, the Federal Supreme Court, and including first-instance and appellate decisions held in the same cassation file. Test, rather than assume, the premise that decided case law rests predominantly on Law No. 39 of 1971, Law No. 18 of 2023 having entered into force only on 26 November 2023. Establish which settled principles carry over to Law No. 18 of 2023, which are displaced and which the transitional provisions leave uncertain, and where liability falls when contributions were never paid or the worker never registered. Identify the procedural requirements that operate as barriers to claimants, including limitation periods, time limits for objecting to an administrative decision, and the medical assessment of invalidity and employment injury.</p><p>3) Enforcement. Provide a qualitative chapter on enforcing judicial decisions, drawing on the case sample and key informants and identifying the principal obstacles to executing judgments. A separate empirical study of execution files is not required and shall not be priced.</p><p>4) Legal framework. The review covers Law No. 18 of 2023, Law No. 39 of 1971, labour court and cassation procedure, and the constitutional provisions on social security entitlement. Labour Law No. 37 of 2015 is reviewed only where it governs social security claims: proof of the employment relationship, labour court jurisdiction and procedure, and labour inspection and the sanctions on employer registration and contribution compliance. No general review of that Law, or of constitutional labour protections, is in scope.</p><p><br></p><p>REQUIRED EXPERTISE OF THE IMPLEMENTING PARTNER</p><p>The Implementing Partner shall be a legally registered non-profit entity, such as a non-governmental organisation, research institution, university, legal institute or intergovernmental organisation, operating or able to operate in Iraq. It may be an ILO constituent organisation or affiliated member, or a non-constituent organisation meeting all other criteria. It shall practise non-discrimination in selecting participants. It shall not appear on any United Nations ineligibility or debarment list, be subject to European Union restrictive measures or appear in the EU Financial Sanctions Database, and shall have no history of failed obligations or prohibited conduct. Before award the ILO screens the proposed partner, its governing body and its senior management against these lists, under the Terms and Conditions applicable to Implementation Agreements, incorporated by reference under Section 16.</p><p>Bidders shall meet the following criteria. Each criterion specifies the documentary evidence required.</p><p>1) Organisational capacity and legal status. Established governance and internal financial controls, and at least three years of operational experience in Iraq or the Middle East region. Evidence: registration certificate; organisational profile; governance charter or by-laws; two years of audited financial statements.</p><p>2) Financial administration capacity. Capacity to manage donor funds at the scale of this agreement and to administer multiple expert engagements and event budgets transparently. Evidence: audit reports from two prior projects of comparable scale; reference letters from two prior funders; dedicated project account capability.</p><p>3) Capacity to mobilise specialised legal expertise. Senior legal expertise, in-house or through a roster of external experts, of the calibre required for analytical refinement, for peer review by senior judges and lawyers, and for training, together with social security administration and complaints-handling expertise. Evidence: how such expertise is mobilised; curricula vitae or profiles of indicative experts; one comparable assignment.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p><br></p>

<p><br></p><p>How can you make a difference?</p><p>The purpose of this national consultancy is to support the UNICEF Iraq Country Office (CO) in advancing evidence generation and capacity strengthening on Public Financing for Children (PF4C) within the education sector. The consultancy will work closely with the Ministries of Education (MoE) in Federal Iraq and Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and their General Directorates of Education (GDoEs) at the sub-national level to strengthen public finance management (PFM) practices and promote more equitable, efficient, and child-centred investments in education, with a particular focus on early childhood education (ECE) and pre-primary education. PFM is a critical enabler for realizing children s rights and improving their well-being, particularly in the education sector. Transparent, equitable, and efficient allocation and utilization of public resources are essential to ensure that children benefit from government budgets, policies, and programmes. This is especially important in ECE, where underinvestment and unequal access continue to limit developmental opportunities and contribute to long-term inequalities.</p><p>The consultancy aligns with the priorities outlined in the Iraq National Education Strategy (INES) 2020-2030, particularly Pillar 3: Governance, Educational Management and Finance, which emphasizes strengthening the legislative, administrative, planning, and financial capacities of the education system to improve education service delivery. Recognizing that PF4C implementation and advocacy must remain responsive to evolving government processes, policy opportunities, and sector priorities, the consultancy will adopt a flexible and adaptive approach. While the overarching objective of the assignment is to support government systems in becoming more transparent, equitable, efficient, and results-oriented in the allocation and use of public resources for children in education, a key focus for this assignment will be the development of a PFM/PF4C framework for education, capacity building of key MoE and GDoE staff in PFM, and facilitating UNICEF s high-level advocacy for PFM grounded in the principles of equity, efficiency, transparency, and accountability.</p><p>In practical terms, the consultancy will support the collection of education financing and expenditure data at both national and sub-national levels to inform PF4C evidence generation, policy dialogue, advocacy efforts, and capacity building. In this context, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) will serve as a key counterpart for the success of this assignment, particularly for budgetary data collection and engagement on public financing processes. In addition, the consultant will support the design and implementation of a series of capacity strengthening activities for relevant MoE and GDoE staff through training, coaching, mentoring, and technical support on PF4C and education financing.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><ul><li>Bachelor's degree in economics, public policy, business, public administration, or any other relevant subjects.</li><li>A higher degree is preferred.</li><li>At least five years of relevant professional experience is required.</li><li>Experience working within national financial institutions, including if possible the MoF.</li><li>Experience in institutional capacity building including training, coaching, and mentoring.</li><li>Fluency in Arabic (for analysis of budget documentation, policy documents and engagement with the Iraqi government)</li><li>Proficiency in English (for writing, presentations and communication with UNICEF and international consultant).</li><li>Very good knowledge of PFM systems, budget system, budget cycles, and fiscal frameworks in Iraq.</li><li>Understanding of social sectors, with special emphasis on education in Iraq.</li><li>Strong interpersonal skills and diplomatic acumen for direct engagement with both senior and technical-level government officials and other stakeholders.</li><li>Advanced knowledge of the MS Office/Microsoft 365 suite of applications (especially Excel and PowerPoint).</li><li>Fluency in Kurdish is an advantage.</li><li>Knowledge of and experience in PF4C is a strong advantage.</li><li>Prior experience of working with UN organizations</li></ul>

It is the largest producing field in Iraq, responsible for producing over 33% of Iraq’s oil. Oil has been produced at Rumaila for well over 50 years. A Technical Service Contract signed in 2009 and extended in 2014, between BOC and BP, Petro-China and the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) is now driving the transformation of Rumaila into a sustainable world-class oilfield for Iraq and its people This 25 year contract (to 2034) has laid the foundation for the long-term renewal of the field.</p><br><br><br><p>This demands significant investment in infrastructure, technology and people. Progress is already visible and the oilfield is returning to full efficiency. Average daily production has increased by over 40% since mid-2009.
