The Central Statistical Office therefore invites eligible Individual Consultants to express their interest in providing consultancy services to undertake this assessment. 2. Objective of the Assignment The objective of this consultancy is to assess the impact of the revised Labour Force Survey instrument on key labour market indicators and provide evidence-based recommendations on the interpretation, communication, and future use of labour market statistics derived from the revised methodology. 3.
