Position:

Vacancy Number: 011-019
Category: Project Staff
Type of Appointment: Fixed-term
Department: Programme Department
Deadline for application: 04.12.2019.

Terms of Reference for a Communication Officer for the Employment and Social Affairs Platform of the Regional Cooperation Council Secretariat (RCC)

BACKGROUND

The Employment and Social Affairs Platform 2 (ESAP 2) is a regional project financed by the European Commission and jointly implemented by the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in the 6 Western Balkan economies: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Republic of North Macedonia and Serbia. The project, which begins its implementation in 2019 and lasts for 3 years, aims to strengthen regional cooperation and institutional capacities of national administrations, enabling them to develop and effectively implement labour market and social policy reforms in their EU enlargement process.

The RCC will implement three thematic components of ESAP 2: 

  • Informal Employment and Undeclared Work - together with ILO
  • Employment Policies and Measures - Western Balkans Engagement in EU Employment and Social Policies 

The Informal Employment and Undeclared Work component will support improved policies for tackling undeclared work through enhanced cooperation and operationalisation at central level of a holistic/strategic compliance approach, generate evidence on what works with regard to transition to formality in the region, and improve capacities to produce more reliable data on the multiple facets of informality. 

The Employment Policies and Measures component will support strengthening institutional capacities of Ministries of Labour and Social Affairs and Public Employment Services in developing, monitoring and evaluating priority labour market policies and measures including measures outlined in Economic Reform Programmes. 

The Western Balkans engagement in EU Employment and Social Policies component will increase the exposure of Western Balkan officials from Ministries of Labour and Public Employment Services to EU-wide networks and processes, including the EU Public Employment Service network through benchlearning, and support peer learning in the process of alignment with the EU acquis and the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights.
