Introduction Through its distinctive rights-based development approach, the ILO contributes to building the resilience and supporting the recovery of nations and people caught in fragile, conflict and disaster. The ILO promotes the adoption of rights-based social protection approaches in fragile and crisis contexts, supporting the full utilization of national systems and the adoption of social security standards. The strategic objective is to ensure that national systems are resilient, better prepared to withstand and respond to shocks, and inclusive of all, particularly the forcibly displaced. Climate change is often referred to as a threat and crisis multiplier, as the effects of climate change may multiply existing challenges and inequalities. Social Protection is a critical tool to support people adapt to and cope with climate-related shocks, but also can cushion families, workers, and enterprises to ensure just green transitions, as highlighted in the World Social Protection Report 2024-26. The ILO has reinforced its commitment to the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus (HDPN) through key policies such as the 2016 Guiding Principles on the Access of Refugees and Other Forcibly Displaced Persons to the Labour Market and Recommendation No. 205 on Employment and Decent Work for Peace and Resilience (2017). Building on these foundations, the ILO launched its 2023 Action Programme on Crisis and Post-Crisis, further embedding its role within the HDPN framework. Central to these efforts is the ILO-Sida Global Partnership (2022–2025), which prioritizes promoting decent work in fragile and conflict-affected regions. The ‘PROSPECTS’ Partnership for improving Prospects for host communities and forcibly displaced persons (FDPs), was launched by the Government of the Netherlands in 2019 in response to forced displacement crises, bringing together the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank. Both programmes place a strong emphasis on the need to bridge short-term cash transfer mechanisms with comprehensive social protection system, including with a particular focus on the inclusion of forcibly displaced populations. In addition to the SIDA and Netherlands funded projects mentioned above, there are other relevant entry points for the ILO to further develop to the link between displacement, climate change and social protection, within the broader HDPN framework in the MENA region. The ILO is the co-chair of the regional Issue Based Coalition on Social Protection and Jobs, which includes a sub-group on social protection in the HDPN. In addition, the ILO is one of the UN partners promoting TRANSFORM, a capacity-building and leadership development for social protection floors in the Arab region. The incumbent will support the ILO Regional Office for the Arab States, the ILO country teams and constituents to articulate the ILO position and deliver support in the area of social protection and crisis, with a particular focus on the HDP nexus and climate change. S/he will support the ILO PROSPECTS programme teams in Jordan and Lebanon in the design and implementation of the social protection component of the Multi-Annual Country Programmes and in coordinating work on social protection with the other PROSPECTS partners in the region. S/he will support the implementation of the strategic activities of the SIDA project in the region. The incumbent will also support the engagement of ILO ROAS in key regional initiatives linked to the Nexus such at both the IBC on the HDPN and the TRANSFORM initiative in the MENA region. Reporting lines: The incumbent will administratively report to the Director or Coordinator for the country in which the position will be based. Substantively, the incumbent will directly report to the Deputy Regional Director of the ILO in the Arab States. The incumbent will work under the technical guidance of the Senior Social Protection Specialist in ROAS and under the overall programmatic guidance of the PROSPECTS Chief Technical Advisor in the Arab States and the CTA of SIDA project (AP/Crisis). Close coordination will also be ensured with the Regional Crisis Response and Just Transition Specialists and with experts in SOCPRO, the global PROSPECTS team and AP-CRISIS ILO HQ teams. Description of Duties 1.
