E Jobs in Vietnam

The ILO is supporting the province in addressing this challenge through the “Strengthening of in-land tourism in Quang Nam Project”, from May 2010 to May 2013.

The overall aim of the project is to utilize Quang Nam’s tourism sector as a driver for poverty reduction in the province, especially for individuals (primarily, but not exclusively, women and youth) from disadvantaged regions of the province.

Deadline for submissions: 12 November 2011

The specific project objectives to be attained are:

Pro-poor development of the hospitality and travel industry that creates benefits in inland regions in Quang Nam.Pro-poor development of the selected value chains which are critical to the development of the hospitality and travel industry for inland tourism in Quang Nam.Awareness of the project’s experience, lessons learned and tools among stakeholders in the tourism sector nationally and in selected other provinces.

The project is seeking, through the participatory approach in Value Chain Development (VCD), to identify a range of proposals for intervention.  Hence, Tourism Value Chain Working Groups are established to facilitate activities and ensure these are in line with the objectives of promoting sustainable, gender sensitive pro-poor and pro-jobs tourism development in Quang Nam.

Currently, the project has three Value Chain Working Groups: (1) The In-land Product Value Chain, (2) The Human Resources Development and Training Value Chain, (3) The Product Supply Value Chain.

To date, the Supply Chain Working Group presented a list of products that bear potential to be produced locally in the poor Western part of the province, for which development the Group requested project support. The list of potential products that have been developed through a brainstorming session of the working group needs to analyze the market demands and production capacity for the supply of products for the tourism value chain.

The objective of the current assignment is to study and identify potential products, conduct a market analysis and propose interventions in cooperation with the working group members. The consultant will prepare the selection strategies based on i) available resources, ii) market potentials and connectedness to the tourism industries iii) risk management issues, and iv) designing relevant interventions that addresses practical and institutional constraints and opportunities in order to enhance the viability and poverty reduction potentials of the possible supply chain products.
