The policy and action plan development process followed ILO’s approach to National Employment policies, involving relevant tripartite constituents in the country and building on a detailed diagnostic of the employment and labour market situation in the Sultanate. The lack of reliable and regular survey data both from a supply and demand side perspective was identified as a key gap in the country. Relevant constituents involved in the policy development process have accordingly agreed to include specific activities in the NEP action plan to generate the data needed. This included conducting a labour force survey for supply side information and an establishment-based survey to collect data on labour demand. Pending formal adoption of the NEP and its Action Plan, the MOL is already laying the groundwork for implementation, particularly in areas that fall within its mandate and which are critical for any subsequent labour market-related efforts and policy reforms. As such, and in view of the urgent need for data on labour market needs, the MOL has embarked on a new project that involves the implementation of an establishment survey targeting 3,000 establishments in the various sectors across the country. Actual field work will be conducted between September and November 2023, while analysis and report writing will be undertaken between December 2023 and January 2024. published on 23 Sep 2023.
