Introduction The ILO Representative Office in Jerusalem works to promote decent work principles and fostering the development of inclusive and responsive labour market policies. These efforts contribute to an environment that supports economic and social progress, ensuring decent work. The ongoing conflict in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) has inflicted a devastating toll on the Palestinian economy and labour market. Over 500,000 workers, primarily in the West Bank, have lost their jobs due to a combination of escalating violence, Israeli restrictions, and a collapsing private sector. Wages have plummeted, pushing countless families into poverty, while the lack of robust worker representation and support systems has left many vulnerable to exploitation and unsafe working conditions. Within the framework of the ILO's Emergency Response Plan (ERP), one pillar focuses on labour market recovery under which several interventions are foreseen to mitigate the immediate impact of conflict and economic hardship on Palestinian workers while fostering long-term labour market resilience. By empowering workers through enhanced rights protection, data-driven advocacy, and expanded support services, the project seeks to improve working conditions, reduce dependence on the Israeli economy, and promote a more sustainable and equitable labour market. Under this ERP pillar, one development cooperation project specifically on labor market recovery will be implemented in parallel to work funded from ILO RBSA resources, ensuring synergies and complementarity. The national officer will support the work under this pillar and will be based in Ramallah to support the implementation of the Labour Market Recovery Project and all related activities as per the duties outlined in the description below.
