With funding from the German Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, the ILO is implementing the “Strengthening Ethiopia’s capability to address forced and human trafficking” project in Ethiopia. One of the key objectives of the project is to support the strengthening of the legal, policy and institutional framework on forced labour and human trafficking in the country. To achieve this, regular and up-to-date and reliable gender-sensitive data and the sound analysis of it is required. Currently, it is not clear if there is any data collection on forced labour in Ethiopia, nor on the quality. Consulting Ethiopia’s Central Statistical Agency (CSA) learns that no government institution, both at national as well as regional level, is collecting any specific data on forced labour and human trafficking. To overcome this challenge, the project will develop a roadmap for data collection on forced labour and human trafficking in collaboration with key stakeholders as well as provide technical capacity building. A first step towards the drafting of a roadmap and the provision of tailored capacity building support, is the identification and collection of the available data pertaining forced labour and human trafficking.
The current terms of reference are for an External Collaborator to undertake a country-level mapping of existing data on forced labour and human trafficking in Ethiopia.
