<p></p>
<p><br></p> <p> <strong>Project Context and Scope</strong> </p> <p>The Peace, Recovery and Solutions Unit of IOM Iraq is undertaking a strategic effort to strengthen coherence, integration, and evidence-based programming across its Durable Solutions (DS) and Rehabilitation, Reconciliation, & Reintegration (RRR) portfolios. As part of this effort, a new integrated programmatic structure is being developed by bringing together functions and expertise from both portfolios to strengthen IOM's capacity to address sustainable solutions to the drivers of displacement. This evolution reflects a broader transition towards integrated, area-based approaches that place populations and their pathways towards sustainable solutions at the centre of programming.<br>The development of the new unit provides an opportunity to establish greater coherence across programme design, targeting, planning, monitoring, information management, and learning. Historically, these functions have evolved across different projects and programmatic pillars, resulting in variations in theories of change, indicator frameworks, beneficiary targeting methodologies, and monitoring systems. These differences limit the Mission's ability to aggregate results, systematically measure outcomes, generate comparable evidence, and establish effective feedback loops between programme implementation, monitoring, referrals, and strategic decision-making. They also constrain the Mission's ability to demonstrate its contribution to IOM's Strategic Results Framework (SRF), strengthen programme quality, and enhance coordination across programme functions and with partners.<br><br></p> <p> <strong>The three initiatives are:</strong> </p> <p> <br> Initiative 1: Harmonization of the RRR programming and the Durable Solutions Theory of Change and development of a mission-wide, SRF-aligned indicator framework;<br> Initiative 2: Development of a unified monitoring framework and standardized Information Management (IM) inputs to establish a continuous programme feedback loop. <br> Initiative 3: Integration of targeting criteria and territory selection methodologies through a common territorial planning approach; </p> <p> <br>These initiatives seek to create a common architecture that enables consistent targeting, standardized monitoring, integrated reporting, and stronger evidence generation across interventions, while supporting coordination within the PRSD Unit, across the broader IOM Iraq mission, and, where appropriate, with partners.</p> <p> <br>A key element underpinning this work is the identification of an appropriate standard "Common operational Unit" that can serve as the foundation for programme planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting across interventions operating at several levels (individual, household, community, sub-district, district, and governorate). Current approaches vary significantly across programmatic pillars, resulting in fragmented targeting methodologies, inconsistent monitoring systems, and limited comparability of results.</p> <p> <br>The core element of this work is to develop a territorial planning model that begins with strategic prioritization at governorate and sub-district levels while allowing programme-specific targeting approaches to communities, households, or individuals as required by different intervention modalities. This approach aims to reduce selection bias, improve transparency in geographic prioritization, strengthen coordination between programme teams, and provide a common analytical framework capable of accommodating diverse implementation models.</p> <p> <br>In parallel, the mission is advancing two of the three initiatives: the harmonization of its Theory of Change and indicator framework and the Development of a unified monitoring framework and standardized Information Management (IM) inputs to establish a continuous programme feedback loop. A revised Theory of Change has been developed through an internal consultative process and is undergoing technical validation. Building on this work, PRSD is developing a harmonized indicator bank that maps project-level indicators across programmatic pillars to standardized mission-level and SRF indicators. This work will enable consistent reporting, improve comparability across projects, and provide the basis for automated aggregation of programme results.</p> <p> <br></p><p> <strong>Specifically, the consultant will undertake the following tasks:</strong> </p> <p> <br>Integration of Targeting Criteria and Territorial Planning Methodology <br> <strong>1. Review and map existing approaches</strong> <br>- Review existing CBP methodologies, RRR and DS objectives and implementation approaches, targeting criteria, assessment frameworks, tools, guidelines, referral mechanisms and reporting systems.<br>- Map DS and RRR activities, target groups and locations against the existing CBP process.<br>- Identify commonalities, gaps, operational constraints and opportunities for greater integration.<br></p><p> <strong>Cross-Cutting Coordination and Facilitation</strong> <br>Recognizing that the three initiatives are highly interdependent, the consultant will provide ongoing strategic facilitation and coordination support throughout the assignment by:<br> Facilitating technical workshops, working groups, validation sessions, and bilateral consultations. <br> Supporting coordination between PRSD, programme units, other relevant technical teams. <br> The consultant shall perform an advisory and technical support role into coherent methodologies and guidance documents. <br> Documenting decisions, agreed approaches, outstanding issues, and recommended next steps. <br> Identifying risks, dependencies, and implementation considerations affecting the successful operationalization of the integrated framework. <br> Providing strategic recommendations for institutionalizing the proposed architecture within future programme design, monitoring, reporting, and learning processes. <br> Final review of the organogram to ensure coherence with defined methods and functions.<br> </p> <p><br></p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p>

<p><span>About NEF</span></p><br>
<p><span>Near East Foundation (NEF) is an international nonprofit organization supporting economic development and community resilience. In Iraq, NEF works with communities, civil society and private-sector partners to strengthen livelihoods, enterprise development, access to finance and employment opportunities, including for women and other underserved groups.</span></p><br>
<p><span>Background Information</span></p><br>
<p><span>ProDIGI supports workplace readiness, digital and green skills, career planning and improved employment opportunities in Baghdad, Anbar and Basrah. Activities combine participant outreach and profiling, blended training, individual coaching, employer engagement, job matching and follow-up. The project also supports training for Career Development Centre staff in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and monitoring of the existing Revolving Credit Fund in Anbar. The assignments support project implementation and closure through 30 June 2027.</span></p><br>
<p><span>Purpose</span></p><br>
<p><span>Profile 300 people and select 200 participants for training in the assigned governorate. Select Master Trainers, coordinate training delivery and provide career planning, individual coaching, employer engagement and job-matching services. Support participants seeking work and those seeking improved working conditions, retention, income stability or career progression.</span></p><br>
<p><span>Key Roles and Responsibilities</span></p><br>
<p><span>Labour market mapping and employer engagement</span></p><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Map employers, businesses, professional networks and employment opportunities in the assigned governorate, including digital and green economy sectors.</span></li>
<li><span>Engage 15 distinct employers or private-sector actors in the assigned governorate. This allocation totals 45 distinct actors across the three expert assignments. Each actor must participate in at least one structured activity, such as a consultation, vacancy sharing, interview day, matching, workplace feedback, recruitment follow-up or skills validation. Keep a dated record of the actor, activity, findings and follow-up; maintain an employer/opportunity database. Agree one reporting owner for actors engaged by multiple experts to avoid duplicate counting.</span></li>
<li><span>Prepare a training-needs summary before Master Trainer selection and training design, drawing on employer consultations and participant profiles. Identify barriers affecting women and other underserved participants and recommend practical responses.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Master Trainer selection and training coordination</span></p><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Select suitable Master Trainers using NEF’s requirements and selection procedures. Review qualifications and relevant experience, assess suitability for the planned training, and submit the assessment records and selected trainers’ details to NEF for contracting.</span></li>
<li><span>Agree training content, session plans and delivery schedules with the Master Trainers. Check that the content addresses identified needs, workplace readiness, digital and green skills, and practical employment pathways.</span></li>
<li><span>Agree technical delivery interfaces and dates with field coordinators and Master Trainers. Master Trainers deliver training; the expert does not supervise their employment, attendance or day-to-day work.</span></li>
<li><span>Review the readiness evidence supplied for each cohort and record technical or accessibility gaps requiring action before delivery. Field and logistics providers remain responsible for their own contracted arrangements.</span></li>
<li><span>Assess the overall technical quality of each cohort against the agreed session plans, trainer performance, participant engagement and practical learning. Document findings and recommended corrections; this does not create line-management authority over trainers or field personnel.</span></li>
<li><span>Prepare a report after each cohort using a template agreed with NEF during implementation. Cover delivery and attendance, participant assessment results and feedback, trainer performance, issues and corrective actions, and coaching or follow-up needs.</span></li>
<li><span>Review enrolment, attendance, guided remote-learning records, and pre- and post-training assessments. Verify completion against at least four of five training days, including at least two in-person days, and both assessments. Submit complete records to NEF using the approved tools.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Outreach, profiling, selection and career planning</span></p><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Produce outreach targeting guidance and review coverage against the 300-person profiling target. Recommend corrective targeting actions. Field coordinators conduct local outreach and arrange appointments; the expert profiles and selects participants.</span></li>
<li><span>Complete participant profiling for 300 people reached in the assigned governorate, using NEF-approved forms to assess their skills, employment circumstances, interests, availability, barriers and support needs. Field coordinators support outreach, registration and appointments.</span></li>
<li><span>Select 200 participants for training in the assigned governorate using NEF-approved project criteria. Document the assessment and selection reasons, confirm participation and prepare the enrolment lists for the two training cohorts.</span></li>
<li><span>Submit the completed profiling and selection records to NEF. Across the three assignments, these responsibilities cover 900 people reached and 600 selected for training. Each expert then selects 100 participants for intensive support using agreed needs-based criteria, giving 300 intensive-support participants overall.</span></li>
<li><span>Develop one individual career or employment-improvement plan for each of the 100 intensive-support participants, with practical actions and milestones based on profiling and assessment.</span></li>
<li><span>Identify participants’ additional support needs, arrange appropriate referrals and update their plans as they progress. Maintain access to general vacancy information and collective employer-linkage activities for participants outside the intensive coaching group.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Individual coaching and follow-up</span></p><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Personally deliver coaching to 100 intensive-support participants in the assigned governorate. Each receives two core sessions of approximately 60 minutes and one action-plan follow-up of approximately 30–45 minutes: 200 core sessions and 100 follow-up sessions per expert.</span></li>
<li><span>Provide practical support with job searches, CVs, applications, interviews and professional communication. For employed participants, address retention, working conditions, income stability and career progression according to their needs.</span></li>
<li><span>Agree session schedules with field coordinators, who contact participants, coordinate appointments and follow up missed sessions. Keep a record of each session, including its date, duration, topics, agreed actions and progress.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Job matching and recruitment events</span></p><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Match participants with suitable vacancies based on their skills, preferences and employer requirements. Obtain consent before sharing participant profiles, arrange referrals and interviews, and record employer feedback.</span></li>
<li><span>Organize employer participation and participant referrals for the employer-linkage events in the assigned governorate. Coordinate with field and administrative support providers on delivery arrangements and follow up the opportunities generated.</span></li>
<li><span>Flag unsuitable or unsafe opportunities to NEF. Do not charge participants recruitment or placement fees.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>Placement follow-up and reporting</span></p><br>
<ul>
<li><span>Follow up directly with participants and, with their consent, employers after referrals, placements or workplace improvements. Record approximately one-month and three-month follow-up where these fall within the assignment, and hand over any later follow-up due.</span></li>
<li><span>Work with field coordinators and NEF to document employment outcomes and retention using approved tools. Keep participant records complete and avoid double counting. Report unsuccessful referrals, unchanged outcomes and barriers accurately.</span></li>
<li><span>Submit a concise output summary with each monthly invoice, linking the completed deliverables and supporting records. Report urgent concerns promptly.</span></li>
