Iraq Logistics and Management Services for ITCILO Digitalization of Artificial Intelligence Training of Trainers Event Organization International Labour Organization Posted 6 Oct 2026 Closing date 14 Oct 2026 Logistics and Management Services for ITCILO Digitalization of Artificial Intelligence Training of Trainers Event In Erbil, Iraq 1 - 5 November 20261 Background And Purpose / Objective For This Service Credit Analysis for MoLSA Staff The promotion of the Development of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) plays a central role in fostering inclusive economic growth, job creation, and resilience in Iraq. In partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA) and with financial support from KfW, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is implementing the Promotion of the Development of SMEs in Iraq Project. As part of these efforts, strengthening the capacity of national trainers is important to support digital transformation engagement with SMEs in the context of SME financing and related programmes. The project tailored a TOT training in close coordination with the ITCILO. The ITCILO proposes to adapt its existing Digitalization and AI for Small and Medium Enterprises – Training of Trainers programme to the context of the Promotion of the Development of SMEs project in Iraq. The existing course equips trainers and enterprise support professionals to help SMEs use digitalization and AI to improve productivity, competitiveness and decision-making. Its approach is deliberately business focused, responsible and people-centred: participants first examine business processes, data, skills and organizational readiness before considering AI applications. The course also prepares them to provide training, coaching and advisory services to SMEs. For Iraq, We Recommend Retaining This Core Learning Logic While Adapting The Format, Language, Cases And Tools. The Proposed Pathway Would Comprise Ten In-country Training Days Delivered Through Two Five-day Missions, Separated By a Supervised Field Roll-out Period Mission 1: five-day intensive Arabic-language ToT, leading to Level 1 certification. Field application: trainers pilot the methodology with real SMEs, with remote ITCILO support. Mission 2: five-day consolidation, troubleshooting and quality-assurance mission, leading to Level 2 certification for trainers who successfully complete the field application. This split format allows trainers to test the methodology in real conditions and makes the second mission responsive to actual implementation challenges rather than repeating theoretical content. ITCILO’s engagement would conclude by the end of February 2027, following completion of the final assessment, issuance of Level 2 certificates and handover of the Arabic-language materials, trainer registry and implementation tools to the project. Continued deployment and support of certified trainers would thereafter be managed directly by the project. The detailed BOQ priced above tab
