3 SERVICE REQUIREMENT
The purpose of the consultancy is to undertake a detailed labour market assessment in a selected District in West Nile in Northern Uganda, which incorporates a preliminary study to identify the specific labour market system and geographical location that GOAL will strategically focus on in West Nile. Following the selection of a single District and specific labour market systems, the consultant will then assess the shocks and stresses on the community and identified system; assess the target population for exclusion (considering gender and age); and analyse the relationships / behaviours of key players in the system. This needs to be done with conflict and gender sensitivity in mind. This is to enable GOAL to map the system and develop a potential portfolio of interventions based on the opportunities for it to engage and create change.

The consultant will focus on supporting the selection of a specific District and labour market systems and the detailed data collection and analysis of that District and systems. They will work closely with the GOAL Uganda country team and GOAL’s Global Technical Team (Markets Advisor). Using that data and initial analysis provided by the Consultant, GOAL will then develop an overall results chain for the portfolio of interventions.
