Posted on Wed 15th Sep, 2021 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


The International Labour Organization (ILO) is the United Nations agency for the world of work. We bring together governments, employers and workers to drive a human-centred approach to the future of work through employment creation, rights at work, social protection and social dialogue.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:

Job Title: National Project Coordinator - NOB (DC)

Job ID: 6671 
Location: Abuja   
Vacancy no.: ABUJA/DC/NO/2021/02
Department: RO-Africa
Organization Unit: CO-Abuja
Contract type: Fixed Term

Overview

  • The selection process is not subject to the rules and procedures defined in Annex I of the ILO Staff Regulations.

The following are eligible to apply:

  • Internal candidates in accordance with paragraphs 31 and 32 of Annex I of the Staff Regulations. The Office will facilitate the temporary re-assignment of a selected internal candidate to this position.
  • External candidates. A selected external candidate will be issued with a 4.2 (e) contract.

Introduction

  • The proportion of women involved in entrepreneurship in Nigeria exceeds that of men, however the country ranks 139th on the Gender Gap Index for 2020. While women entrepreneurs contribute to economic growth, job creation, and family and community wellbeing, they experience decent work deficits related to business and regulatory environment, access to financial and business development services. As many remain informal, they are often outside the scope of SME policies and programmes and are under-represented and underserved by employers’ and workers’ organisations.
  • In response to these challenges, the ILO is initiating the Promoting Gender Equality and Formalisation through Women’s Entrepreneurship Development in Nigeria. The overall objective of this intervention is to support key actors in the business ecosystem to adopt approaches and policies that respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs in Nigeria, including in the informal economy. The expected results under the proposed intervention are as follows:
  • Result 1:
    • Government and social partners validate a roadmap to address the barriers for women’s entrepreneurship development and formalisation.
    • As part or Result 1, the project will undertake an assessment of the framework conditions for women’s entrepreneurship development which include a conducive legal and regulatory environment for women’s economic empowerment, effective policy leadership and coordination for the promotion of WED, and women’s access to gender-responsive financial and business development services, as well as a diagnostic on informality in order to engage stakeholders in developing a roadmap to address the key constraints identified by the assessments. 
  • Result 2:
    • Government and other business environment actors expand their actions on WED and formalization focusing on legal and policy issues/framework, monitoring mechanism for learning, advocacy efforts and direct support to women-entrepreneurs
    • As part of Result 2, the project will support key national partners and constituents to implement the activities from the roadmap and to integrate relevant ILO training packages for enterprise development, such as SIYB, GET Ahead and Financial Education as part of their services. 
  • Result 3:
    • NECA adopts gender-responsive measures to better target, serve women entrepreneurs, and widen its representation
    • As part of Result 3, the project will support NECA to undertake a self-assessment of the extent to which it reaches and serves women entrepreneurs. Based on the self-assessment, NECA will be able to adopt more gender-responsive approaches with the support of the ILO.
