SINCE Programme “Stemming Irregular Migration in Northern and Central Ethiopia”, is one of the different initiatives financed under the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EU Trust Fund), Addressing the Root Causes of Irregular Migration and Displacement in Africa. SINCE Programme is managed by the Embassy of Italy, in joint cooperation with the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).     The Overall Objective of SINCE is to contribute to the reduction of irregular migration from Northern and Central Ethiopia by improving the living conditions of the most vulnerable population, including potential migrants and returnees with specific focus on youth and women. The Specific Objective is to establish inclusive economic programs that create employment opportunities for potential migrants, returnees and refugees, especially women and youths, in the most migration prone regions of Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray) by strengthening the capacities of local vocational training providers (TVET) and promoting public private partnerships (PPPs) in strategic economic clusters.   To shape SINCE actions, an Inception Phase was carried out through the technical assistance of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in joint cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) between August 2016 &March 2017. The aim was to gain a better understanding on migration dynamics, particularly the root causes of migration and their nexus with the lack of decent livelihood and employment opportunities in the targeted areas. The Inception Phase focused on “Woredas” within four Regional States (Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray), as well as Sub-cities of Addis Ababa City Administration, showing a high incidence of irregular migration and some major migration trends in the target areas.   A Call for Proposals was launched by the Embassy of Italy in July 2017, divided per geographic lots and with the goal to propel the most promising industrial sectors with the highest production potentials in the areas: Leather, Metal working, Construction, Textile, & Agri-business. As a result, VIS won the Tigray Lot 5: ·         Tigray Region (Woredas: AtsbiWumberta, Wukro, Mekelle, RayaAlamata): Volontariato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo (VIS) as Lead Applicant and Comitato Internazionale per lo Sviluppo dei Popoli (CISP), Oxfam GB, Ethiopian Catholic Church – Social and Development Commission/Coordination Office of Adigrat ECC SDCO Ad, Relief Society of Tigray (REST), Mesfin Industrial Engineering PLC, Polytechnic Mekelle as Consortium Members.  Objectives of the consultancy on WORK BASED LEARNING SCHEMES in ETHIOPIA The consultancy includes three interrelated products : a)     a "diagnosis " of the legislative framework and on the practical application of work based learning schemes / dual education in Ethiopia.  The consultancy should provide a comprehensive background on the current legislation on the work based learning schemes/dual education in Ethiopia, including a revision of the labour law and the practical application – meaning that the study should provide practical examples of the implementation of work based learning schemes if existing.
