[Le Tuyet Sinh]

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

UNDP in Viet Nam seeks one firm/organization to design and deliver a training course on macroeconomic policy and labour and employment.

The UNDP-supported project: "Support for enhancing capacity in advising, examining, and overseeing macroeconomic policies" being implemented by the Economic Committee of National Assembly aims at strengthening capacity of its beneficiary agencies (Economic Committee of National Assembly, Party's Central Office, Office of the Government, National Financial Supervision Committee, Office of President, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences) for macro-economic policy advising, examination, and oversight to ensure sound and pro-poor macroeconomic policies. Within this overall objective and among other expected results, the project aims at helping its beneficiaries agencies in addressing the issues of professional staffs in the project's beneficiaries having (i) limited ability to define timely and clearly policy questions/demands for policy research and advices and (ii) limited ability to translate policy research results into sound 'policy options'/advices and communicate such to the top leaderships.

Given very close relation and mutual relationships between macroeconomic policy design/implementation and labour/employment policy and outcomes, the project beneficiary agencies expressed the needs for improving (i) the knowledge and understanding of their professional staff on the topics of macroeconomic policy and labor/employment as well as (ii) skills necessary for identifying clearly policy questions/demands for policy research and advices and translating policy research results into sound 'policy options'/advices and communicate such to the top leaderships on the topics of macroeconomic policy design/implementation and labour/employment policy and outcomes.

The overall objective of this assignment is to support strengthening capacity for macroeconomic management and oversight through provision of training on macroeconomic policy and labour and employment. The course aims at helping project beneficiaries' professional staffs to obtain: i) an overview of the labor and employment situation in Vietnam (in terms of labour structure, quality of the labour force, labour mobilities, issues/bottlenecks in labour market - as defined in the SEDS, employment/unemployment and wage/labor income issues, etc.), ii) understanding of the mutual relations between macroeconomic policy design/implementation and problems in employment/unemployment and labour income/labour structure and quality of the labour force and labour market issues, and iii) tools for taking the topics of labour market, employment and labour characteristics into advising, examining, and overseeing design and implementation of macroeconomic policies for inclusive, equitable and sustainable development.
