RFQ/136/2026/GAH/ROAS – Facilitate Event Management for the Online Validation Workshop on the Operational Guidelines of the National Public Works Programme
Background and Context:
The Government of Iraq, through its National Development Plan (2024–2028), has identified the establishment of a National Public Works Programme as a vital measure to reduce poverty, enhance human development, create assets, and improve public services.
Thus, under the Building Equitable and Inclusive Transformation (BEIT) project, funded by the European Union and implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in partnership with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the International Trade Centre (ITC), the ILO has initiated technical cooperation to support the establishment of a National Public Works Programme. This programme is sector-focused and designed to leverage governmental investment funds to ensure sustainability of decent work opportunities while creating synergies with various social protection systems in order to advance national development and economic objectives.
During 2024 and 2025, the ILO made significant progress across several key areas: engaging relevant stakeholders through broad national policy and technical consultations to develop a comprehensive roadmap for the National Public Works Programme; establishing a governance structure, including a Steering Committee and Technical Working Group, to provide strategic and technical guidance for the programme’s design and implementation; strengthening national capacities at both technical and policymaking levels through training and study tours on international good practices and initiating the development of two operational guidelines with sectoral focus on infrastructure and green jobs.
The draft operational guidelines shall be developed in close coordination with the NPWP governance structure to ensure government ownership, technical validation, and alignment with national priorities and policy directions. In this context, an online preliminary consultation session is proposed to present the draft guidelines, facilitate technical discussions with relevant stakeholders, and collect initial feedback and recommendations prior to finalization.
Purpose for this Service:
The Service Provider is responsible for providing event management services for an online workshop. The Service Provider shall act as a single point of contact, ensure seamless coordination, and manage all operational aspects including contingency planning.
Objective:
The objective of this assignment is to facilitate an online validation workshop (2.5 Hours) for the draft operational guidelines of the National Public Works Programme (NPWP), ensuring broad participation and constructive engagement of relevant government institutions, social partners, and technical stakeholders. The workshop aims to present and discuss the draft guidelines, collect technical feedback and recommendations, and support the refinement and validation process to ensure the guidelines are aligned with national institutional procedures, regulatory frameworks, operational modalities, and government priorities, thereby strengthening national ownership and supporting the effective and sustainable implementation of the NPWP.
