Review of the “Decent Employment for Youth in Cambodia” Programme Phase 2 (DEY II)

Announcement Description

Background and Rationale

Benefiting from the continuous strategic and financial support of SDC and financial contributions from other funding partners, the DEY II commenced the implementation in January 2020, for a period of four years. Continuing from phase 1, DEY II aims to support the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to address the following strategic gaps with regard to youth decent employment: (i) the systemic skills deficit within Cambodia’s youth population at a time of rapid technological change, linked to low levels of educational attainment; (ii) the mismatch between labour market requirements and the skills of young people; (iii) the necessity to improve the country’s entrepreneurship and business ecosystem as a source of employment and livelihood; and (iv) the need to address high levels of informality, vulnerability and inadequate quality of work. The DEY II is being jointly implemented by four United Nations agencies, namely ILO (also the administrative and convening agency); UNESCO; UNICEF and UNIDO. The key partners include the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training (MLVT); the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), the Ministry of Tourism (MoT), the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Cambodian Federation of Employers and Business Associations (CAMFEBA), Trade Unions, and youth-led organisations. The programme supports young women and men in Cambodia to increasingly obtain decent and productive employment opportunities by ensuring that they are better able to meet labour market demand and are prepared for quality employment.

To promote accountability, enhance learning and documentation and gain strategic advice for current and future youth employment programming in Cambodia, the Decent Employment for Youth in Cambodia programme phase 2 (DEY II), in collaboration with its partner, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), is commissioning a review of the programme. The Terms of Reference (ToR) set out the review’s purpose and objectives, methodological options, and operational modalities for a team of two independent consultants (one international expert as team leader and one national expert). Findings and recommendations from this review will inform and feed the design of the subsequent phase of the programme. For SDC, the review will provide elements for decision-making on a potential contribution to phase 3. The review will be conducted from January to March 2023 with a maximum of 40 working days (up to 20 days for the international consultant and 20 days for the national consultant).

Purpose of the review

The proposed review shall seek to:

  1. Examine the extent to which DEY II’s interventions have promoted and directly contributed to pathways to decent employment for youth.
  2. Assess the relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of DEY II1.
  3. Generate key findings, and lessons, identify challenges, good/promising practices and synergies and draw conclusions and strategic recommendations that can inform the remaining implementation of DEY II and the design of the third phase of the programme.
