Consultant for National CSR Indicators
Background | |
Youth unemployment, under-employment and informality impose heavy costs on the Albanian society and economy. Long unemployment spells early in life and extended periods in the informal economy affect the prospects of young people to secure a career job, a decent wage, their future and that of their families. High percentages of unemployed youth mean that investments in education and training are wasted, that there is a reduced taxation base and higher welfare costs.

Duties and Responsibilities | |
In line with the goals of the Government of Albania in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as stated in the National Action Plan on CSR, the establishment of a national concensus on the measurement of CSR is a priority. This entails the formulation of clear and concise indicators and benchmarks to access performance within individual companies, key sectors of the economy, at the national level, and over time. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy (METE) has underscored that the existence of a national system of indicators, would allow for continuous monitoring of CSR implementation in the country, as well as evaluating investments made by the government in creating an enabling CSR environment. The establishment of such indicators (even at an early stage of CSR practices in the country) has the potential to guide and stimulate company CSR practices, as well as serve as the basis for the National CSR Awards. Furthermore, they would enable the evaluation of progress of CSR practices at company level against objective criteria and provide state level recognition and visibility to progressice practices.
Against this backdrop, in early 2012 UNDP commissioned a study on the development and measurement of such indicators. Twenty-two indicators across multiple areas (e.g. labour, environment, corruption, etc.) were identified. In addition, the study identified main actors responsible for the data collection and evaluation criteria. The scope of this assignment is to establish the baselines for all these indicators and prepare an assessment of the level of CSR implementation at the national level.
Under the supervision of the National Project Officer on CSR, and in close collaboration with the project team and relevant stakeholders, the consultant will be responsible for the following:
