UK-based Development Analytics Ltd has won a contract with the International Labour Organization (ILO) to, "[Make] The Case for an Old-Age Social Pension in Federal Iraq."
The contract value was not disclosed.
According to information provided by the UN, the ILO, together with UNICEF and WFP, are implementing an EU-funded Joint Social Protection Programme to provide technical support to MoLSA [Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs] for the implementation of a right-based approach to social protection and the progressive establishment of a social protection floor in Iraq.
As part of the support planned under the Joint Programme, the ILO seeks to initiate a policy dialogue on establishing a social pension for older persons (sometimes called a zero-pillar Pension) through a policy paper.
Based in Oxford, and headed by Dr. Meltem Aran, Development Analytics says it specialises in, "addressing societal challenges and driving positive change through evidence-based research and rigorous analysis."
