Background and Context:

The International Labour Organization (ILO) Iraq/PROSPECTS programme has been supporting the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in the development of a National Employment Policy for the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI-NEP), aimed at strengthening employment governance and guiding coordinated action on job creation, skills development, and labour market inclusion across the region.

The draft KRI-NEP has been prepared in consultation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MOLSA) — Kurdistan Region, workers' and employers' organizations, and other relevant stakeholders. The draft is currently under revision and is being brought forward for validation by the region's tripartite constituents, ahead of its finalization and translation.

To this end, ILO Iraq/PROSPECTS is organizing a one-day workshop in Erbil to discuss and validate the draft KRI-NEP with government counterparts, trade unions, employers' representatives, and other relevant stakeholders.

Objectives:

The overall objective of the workshop is to discuss and validate the draft Kurdistan Region National Employment Policy (KRI-NEP) with tripartite constituents and other relevant stakeholders, ahead of its finalization, translation, and adoption.

Specific objectives are to:

• Present the draft KRI-NEP — its objectives, priorities, and implementation arrangements — to tripartite constituents and other relevant stakeholders.

• Facilitate structured discussion and gather feedback from government counterparts, trade unions, employers' representatives, and other stakeholders on the draft policy.

• Validate the draft KRI-NEP with the region's tripartite constituents ahead of its finalization and translation.

• Build consensus and shared ownership of the policy to support its adoption and future implementation.

• Strengthen collaboration between MOLSA — Kurdistan Region, workers' and employers' organizations, and ILO in advancing the region's employment policy agenda.
