Country: Iraq Organization: International Labour Organization Closing date: 22 Oct 2026 Event management service for Conducting Two Activities on Decent Work in Public Contracts and Labour Inspection in Baghdad High level meeting on Decent Work in Public Contracts; 25 October 2026 Labour inspection workshop; 27-2G October 2026 Background and Context: In line with the objectives of the "Building an Equitable and Inclusive Transformation (BEIT)" project, funded by the European Union and implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA), a series of workshops will be organized to strengthen national capacities and institutional coordination in key areas of labour governance and decent work in Iraq. The two activities will focus on two priority areas: enhancing the knowledge and capacities of labour inspectors on the application of Labour Law No. 37 of 2015; and fostering high-level policy dialogue on strengthening labour governance and integrating decent work principles into Iraq’s public contracting system, with particular attention to relevant international labour standards, including ILO Convention No. 94 on Labour Clauses (Public Contracts), and their reflection in public contract instructions, regulations and standard documents. These areas remain important priorities for strengthening labour governance and promoting decent working conditions in Iraq. Effective action requires strong institutional capacities, clear coordination mechanisms among relevant national stakeholders, and a common understanding of national legislation, policies, and applicable international labour standards. Through technical discussions, practical training, policy dialogue, and experience sharing, the two activities will provide a platform for government representatives and relevant social partners and stakeholders to exchange views, identify existing gaps and challenges, and develop practical recommendations for strengthening national coordination and implementation. The activities will also contribute to enhancing participants’ understanding of relevant ILO standards and good practices and their application within the Iraqi context. Objective/Purpose: 1. High level meeting on Decent Work in Public Contracts Overall objective The overall objective is to promote policy dialogue on strengthening labour governance and the integration of decent work principles and international labour standards into Iraq’s public contracting system. Specific Objectives • Raise awareness among relevant government institutions on the importance of integrating decent work principles and labour considerations into public contracting policies and practices. • Discuss opportunities for incorporating relevant international labour standards, particularly ILO Convention No. 94 on Labour Clauses (Public Contracts), into public contract instructions, regulations and standard contractual documents. • Identify priority areas for strengthening labour provisions in public contracts, including occupational safety and health, social security, working conditions and other fundamental labour protections. • Discuss possible areas for reviewing and further developing the regulations and standard documents associated with the Public Contract Instructions to better reflect decent work principles and international labour standards. • Strengthen coordination between the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and other relevant stakeholders on the labour dimension of public contracting. • Identify possible areas for ILO technical support and agree on potential follow-up actions, including technical consultations or workshops to support the review of relevant regulations and standard documents. 2.
