The content of the generated document shall be the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>16 weeks<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>GENERAL SCOPE Technology transfer is a critical driver of economic growth in today’s global economy. Access to technology, and its effective integration into economic processes, significantly determines the competitive positioning of key stakeholders, including innovators, producers, researchers, government institutions, and financial actors. The establishment of a National Technology Transfer Office (NTTO) can play a pivotal role in integrating the capacities of innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and researchers who are developing technological solutions addressing sustainability challenges and strategic national priorities. An NTTO can provide a comprehensive range of services, including policy advisory support to government ministries, identification and valorisation of intellectual property (IP) generated through research, and close engagement with researchers to highlight the economic potential of their work. It can also support patent drafting and protection, technology valuation, and offer a suite of services related to commercialization and industrial consultancy. Furthermore, an NTTO should actively facilitate linkages between national capabilities and multinational corporations seeking local partnerships for joint development and production. Institutions coordinating NTTO activities are expected to mobilize their own resources for the establishment and initial operation of these units. Recently, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Economy (MTDE) in Palestine requested technical assistance from ESCWA to assess and develop a roadmap for establishing an NTTO in Palestine. In the context of strengthening the national innovation system (NIS)—and the technology transfer system in particular—this report aims to identify gaps in the existing legal and regulatory frameworks, government policies, and institutional capacities, including those within universities, that may impede the development of an effective technology transfer ecosystem. Key policy areas such as research and development (R&amp;D) incentives, intellectual property protection, and innovation-related regulations have a direct impact on the performance of the NIS. Accordingly, this report provides a detailed assessment of these factors and proposes a practical roadmap for the establishment of an NTTO in Palestine. The report will also offer recommendations on addressing legislative and policy gaps to support the effective establishment and operation of the NTTO. In addition, it will outline the proposed structure, functions, and operational model of the NTTO, drawing on international best practices, regional experiences, stakeholder consultations, and previous ESCWA work. These Terms of Reference are developed to guide the preparation of the report titled: “Establishing an Effective System of Technology Transfer in Palestine: Current Status, Structure, Operations, and Roadmap.” The provision of this advisory service constitutes the core objective of these Terms of Reference. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report’s outline. The proposed draft version should include the following sections: • Existing legal and regulatory framework and policies related to innovation and technology transfer; • Review the relevant national and institutional existent legal framework and policies relevant to the process of innovation and technology transfer systems; • Review international and regional best practices in developing NTTOs to benchmark Palestine with the regional and international best practices. • Examining the situation in other countries in the Arab region that have already established NTTO, and get knowledge about their legal and regulatory system as well as their STI related policies and that support the establishment of NTTO; • Identification of gaps in laws, regulations and policies to allow for a more effective enabling environment for innovation and technology transfer. This would include brief analysis of the current situation with regard to innovation and technology transfer involvement in the economy of the country based on the national STI landscape mapping from previous report; • Suggestion of the needed office structure, its main functions and expected role of the relevant stakeholders (governance) based on best international and regional practices. This would include exploring planned policies with the representatives of governmental, nongovernmental, and other public interest groups to evaluate the present and planned legislative system which will affect the technology transfer network in the future and its strategies; • Finally, the consultant will suggest an actionable roadmap that includes the structure of the national technology transfer office (NTTO), its sustainability, and related liaison network by describing the main NTTO functions and activities, based on best international and regional practices, previous ESCWA outputs and taking into account national specificities. The report needs to clarify the relation of the NTTO role within the national technology transfer system in Palestine. • The consultant will present the report findings in a related national workshop, then update the report based on the collected comments and feedback. ESCWA promotes gender equality and integration of youth through its publications and therefore the consultant should pay attention, with the help of ESCWA staff, to gender considerations and youth dimension throughout the research work to ensure that the report gives equal attention to the needs of both men and women, as well as girls and boys. Writing should use gender-sensitive language.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in law, or technology field is required. A Ph.D. is an advantage. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. At least, 10 years of professional experience in research including 5 years in the field of technology / innovation / technology transfer is required. Previous experience in working with international organizations is desirable.<br> Languages<br>English and French are the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat; and Arabic is a working language of ESCWA. For this position, Fluency in Arabic and English is required. Note: “Fluency” equals a rating of ‘fluent’ in all four areas (speak, read, write, and understand) and “Knowledge of” equals a rating of ‘confident’ in two of the four areas.<br> Additional Information<br>Not available.<br> No Fee<br>THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE AT ANY STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS (APPLICATION, INTERVIEW MEETING, PROCESSING, OR TRAINING).

The content of the generated document shall be the sole property of ESCWA. The content cannot and must not be presented, discussed or published by the consultant without the express authorization of ESCWA and MoTDE. The consultant shall keep in mind that UN-ESCWA routinely checks all deliverables for plagiarism, using readily available electronic tools. All previously published content, even if written by the selected consultant, must be clearly referenced where required within the text and end-noted at the end of the study. The report submitted by the consultant must not contain quoted and/or previously published text equalling more than 20 per cent of the total number of pages. The consultant shall not publish or announce or reveal the content of the report, partly or entirely, on social media or any other public channel, without ESCWA and MoTDE permission.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>16 weeks<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>I. GENERAL SCOPE Open-source software policies provide a strategic framework governing how public institutions assess, procure, use, develop, reuse and share software whose source code can be inspected, modified and redistributed under an appropriate open licence. Their importance for sustainable development extends well beyond the possibility of avoiding licence fees. When properly implemented, such policies can reduce the duplication of public investments, facilitate interoperability among government systems, increase transparency and auditability, enable solutions to be adapted to local languages and needs, and reduce excessive dependence on individual technology suppliers. They can also allow governments, universities, local companies and civil society organizations to collaborate on shared digital solutions, thereby strengthening national technological capabilities, creating opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises and supporting local digital employment. Open-source software solutions are particularly relevant to lower- and middle-income and crisis-affected countries because they can be reused and adapted rather than developed repeatedly from the beginning. The United Nations recognizes open-source software as an important category of digital public goods and calls for greater investment in such goods to advance the Sustainable Development Goals1. In this sense, open-source policies can contribute directly to SDG 9 on innovation and resilient infrastructure, SDG 16 on effective, accountable and inclusive institutions, and SDG 17 on partnerships, while also supporting digital services in health, education, social protection, agriculture and local government. Nevertheless, open-source adoption should not be treated as an automatic or purely cost-saving choice. Effective policies should address total cost of ownership, cybersecurity, software maintenance, licensing compliance, accessibility, data protection, documentation, technical support and long-term community governance. Several governments have institutionalized these principles. The European Commission’s Open Source Software Strategy promotes a “Think Open” approach through which European institutions are encouraged to use, share and contribute to open-source solutions, increase software reuse and strengthen technological control and collaboration across administrations. France has established a dedicated government open-source function, the code.gouv.fr platform and the Socle Interministériel de Logiciels Libres, a reference catalogue of open-source software recommended for use across the public administration. Within the Arab region, Saudi Arabia’s Digital Government Authority published a Free and Open-Source Government Software Strategy and an implementation guideline aimed at improving technology leadership, increasing efficiency in government IT spending, encouraging software and source-code reuse, and supporting the growth of the national digital economy. Egypt has also, since several years, adopted a national strategy supporting free and open-source software, while the Software Engineering Competence Center under the Information Technology Industry Development Agency serves as the government’s focal point for this field. For Palestine, an open-source software policy could become an important instrument for building affordable, resilient and nationally sustainable digital government. In a context of severe fiscal constraints and service-delivery arrangements, the systematic reuse of secure and proven software components could help reduce repeated development and licensing expenditure, while improving interoperability among ministries, municipalities and public institutions. Furthermore, requiring donor-funded digital projects to use open standards, provide adequate documentation and consider publication under suitable open-source licences could improve national ownership and prevent isolated systems from being abandoned after project financing ends. These benefits would require a phased implementation model based on an inventory of existing systems, open and interoperable technical standards, procurement rules that evaluate open-source and proprietary options fairly, security and privacy assessments, capacity-building programmes, and a central open-source programme office or coordination unit responsible for governance, licensing, reuse and sustainable maintenance. The United Nations is involved in enhancing the use of emerging technologies for sustainable development. In September 2024 during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC4 mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation. Most recently, the Ministry of Telecoms and Digital Economy (MoTDE) in Palestine requested UN-ESCWA’s assistance to develop the national policy for open source software. The provision of this advisory service is the subject of these terms of reference. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report outline. The proposed report should include the following sections: (1) Review best regional and international practices on Open-Source software policies, strategies and frameworks (at least 2 international and 2 regional practices); (2) Analyse the different existing policies and frameworks related to digital technologies in Palestine; (3) Review and further develop the draft National Open-Source Software Policy, including its technical annexes on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Cloud Computing, ensuring consistency between the main policy and its annexes and alignment with relevant national, regional and international good practices (4) Conduct interviews with the various stakeholders and summarize their remarks and observations, including representatives of public and private sectors to better capture the needs of all segments of society; (5) Suggest a draft policy based on international and regional practices, the background doc and the conducted interviews/meetings; (6) Present the draft policy in a consultative workshop/meeting. (7) Update the policy based on received comments from ESCWA, MoTDE and other stakeholders participating in the workshop.
