GENERAL SCOPE The rapid expansion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public institutions has fundamentally transformed how governments generate, store, and disseminate information. This transformation has reinforced the importance of robust legal frameworks governing access to information, such as transparency, accountability, and the free flow of information are essential foundations for democratic governance, sustainable development, and public trust. In the Arab region, several countries have made progress in adopting access to information laws; however, implementation gaps and evolving digital governance practices continue to pose challenges to the effective realization of the right of access to information. At the same time, the increasing digitization of public services, the use of digital platforms, and the management of large volumes of data by public authorities require access to information legislation that is aligned with international standards and responsive to contemporary administrative and technological realities. Well-designed ATI laws not only safeguard the public’s right to know but also provide clear obligations for public authorities, define permissible limitations, and establish effective oversight and appeal mechanisms. At the global level, the UN actively promotes transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability as core principles of good governance and sustainable development. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future during the Summit of the Future, together with its annexes, including the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC underscores the importance of open, transparent, and accountable digital governance and highlights access to information as a key enabler of trust in public institutions and meaningful participation in public life, including in digital environments. The UN-ESCWA has a long-standing mandate in supporting its member States in strengthening governance frameworks, including legal and institutional reforms related to transparency, access to information, and the responsible use of digital technologies. Through its technical cooperation program, UN-ESCWA continues to support member States in enhancing their capacities to design, implement, and enforce access to information laws, including the development of implementing regulations, institutional arrangements, and mechanisms for oversight and redress. In this context, the Ministry of Telecom and Information Tech (MTIT) – Yemen requested UN-ESCWA technical assistance to develop national ATI law in Yemen. In response, ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant with specialized expertise in access to information law to provide advisory services tailored to the national context, to be aligned with international and regional best practices. This consultancy is part of a coordinated package of three inter-related legal instruments being developed simultaneously for Yemen: Access to Information Law, Personal Data Protection Law, and an e-Transactions and Trust Services Law. The consultant shall be aware of this broader legislative package and shall flag, in the drafting notes annex, any provisions in the assigned law that intersect with or depend upon the other instruments, to ensure coherence across the three laws. The scope of work, responsibilities, and expected deliverables of the consultancy are set out in these Terms of Reference. III. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report on ATI law.

GENERAL SCOPE The rapid adoption and expansion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public and private institutions have fundamentally transformed the way governments, businesses, and individuals interact. This ongoing digital transformation offers significant opportunities for economic growth, innovation, and improved service delivery, while simultaneously giving rise to complex legal, regulatory, and security challenges. In this context, the development, modernization, and effective implementation of e-transactions legislation have become a critical priority for governments worldwide to ensure legal certainty, trust, and security in digital environments. Across the Arab region, several countries have made notable progress in establishing legal frameworks governing e-transactions, trust services, data protection, cybersecurity, and related areas. Nevertheless, the continuous emergence of new digital applications—such as cloud computing, mobile platforms, digital identity systems, and artificial intelligence (AI)—has requested countries to continuously upgrade those laws to align with the best international practices and the evolving requirements of the digital age. At the global level, the UN continues to promote the responsible, inclusive, and trustworthy use of emerging technologies in support of sustainable development. In September 2024, during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future, together with its annexes—the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC underscores the importance of digital trust, secure and interoperable digital systems, and effective digital governance. These objectives depend fundamentally on robust e-transactions legislation that provides legal recognition to e-communications, signatures, trust services, and contracts mechanisms, thereby enabling safe participation in the digital economy. The UN‑ESCWA has a long-standing engagement in supporting its member States in the field of cyber legislation. In 2007, UN‑ESCWA published the study “Models for Cyber Legislation in UN‑ESCWA Member Countries”, which reviewed regional and international legal developments and introduced practical templates for assessing and reforming national cyber laws. The objective of those templates is to support Arab countries in drafting and harmonizing national cyber laws. Through its technical cooperation program, UN‑ESCWA remains committed to assisting member States in strengthening legal and institutional capacities related to the digital and emerging technologies. Recently, the Ministry of Telecom and Information Tech (MTIT) in Yemen requested UN‑ESCWA’s advisory services to develop e-transactions and trust services law aligned with international standards and regional best practices. In response, UN‑ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant to provide specialized expertise in the area of e-transactions and trust services, with a particular focus on the Yemeni legal and institutional context. The consultant shall use as primary reference frameworks the ESCWA Cyber legislation directives, UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce (1996), the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures (2001), and the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (2017), supplementing these with the EU eIDAS Regulation and relevant Arab country implementations. For the purposes of this consultancy, 'trust services' include: qualified electronic signatures and seals, electronic timestamps, electronic registered delivery services, website authentication certificates, and preservation services for electronic signatures, consistent with the eIDAS framework or its functional equivalent. This consultancy is part of a coordinated package of three inter-related legal instruments being developed simultaneously for Yemen: Access to Information Law, Personal Data Protection Law, and an e-Transactions and Trust Services Law. The consultant shall be aware of this broader legislative package and shall flag, in the drafting notes annex, any provisions in the assigned law that intersect with or depend upon the other instruments, to ensure coherence across the three laws.

The content of all outputs shall remain the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background The Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) launched the Advancing Digital Cooperation and Development – Arab States Action Programme (ADCD-ASAP) in 2020 to support Arab countries in harnessing digital technologies for sustainable development and accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The programme aims, among others, to strengthen regional and national digital policy frameworks, promote digital cooperation, and support evidence-based digital development strategies across the Arab region. Within this framework, and under the auspices of the Arab Telecom and Information Technology Council of Ministers (ATICM), and its resolution in December 2020, ESCWA and the League of Arab States (LAS) jointly established a joint project to Develop, Deploy and Constantly Upgrade the Arab ICT Strategy for the region, in the form of an Arab Digital Agenda as strategic living instrument for 10 years. The ADA is not an outcome, it is a journey of constant growth that is meant to cope with any future developments in the technology and related policies; to induce action at different fronts in all facets of technology, through it mechanism and through partnerships with UN bodies and Arab bodies; and to advance progress at member states level that can be measured and monitored. Accordingly, ESCWA and LAS worked with Member States, to co-develop, the Arab Digital Agenda/ICT Strategy (ADA 1.0 / ADAICTS), which serves as a regional strategic vision, compass and action-framework guiding Arab digital development efforts and supporting national digital development agendas, in all digital development areas. The process of co-developing by ESCWA and Member States of the first edition of the ADA took place during 2021-2022, through successive iterations and engagements, with Member States (through the ADA’s Core Research and Technical Cooperation Mechanism (CRTCM), the ADA’s Joint Technical Committee (JTC), the LAS Arab Working Group on Arab ICT Strategy, the LAS Arab Permanent Committee on ICTs, the LAS Arab Executive Bureau all the way up to the Council of Minsters; leading to the adoption of the final version of the 1st edition of the Arab Digital Agenda 2023-2033, by the ATICM on 23 January 2023 and by Arab ECOSOC in 9 February 2023, and by heads of States in 19 May 2023; with the promise of supporting its deployment and the expectation of constant update of the agenda and constant monitoring of member states progress in achieving its goals and targets using the agreed-upon instruments. The first milestone for all of the above will be towards the end of 2027. Overall Timeframes, Milestone and Nature of ADA 2.0 Building on the above, and under the umbrella of the ATICM, ESCWA and LAS are launching the process of co-developing with Member States the Second Edition of the Arab Digital Agenda (ADA 2.0); which is planned to be co-produced during the period of 2026-2027, with a target goal of adopting the second edition of the Arab Digital Agenda in its final form during the ATICM meeting of December 2027/January 2028. Accordingly, and based on the established work modalities, the first version of ADA 2.0 will need to be presented to the ATICM meeting scheduled for December 2026/January 2027. Towards this end, ESCWA is managing, during the second half of 2026, the first phase of ADA 2.0 sub-project to prepare for submitting the first version of the ADA2.0 to the respective LAS Arab Working Group on Arab ICT Strategy that is scheduled to be convened during November/December 2026, and subsequently to the LAS Arab Permanent Committee on ICTs, the LAS Arab Executive Bureau all the way up to the Council of Ministers during December 2026/January 2027. The envisaged ADA2.0 - as a comprehensive regional strategic framework and policy blueprint for digital development in the Arab region over the coming decade, aligned with international and regional digital cooperation priorities - is scheduled for the end of 2027 is planned to have two perspectives: 1-First, looking backward As part of its monitoring role, ADA2.0 will result a report on the progress of member countries in achieving the goals and targets of the ADA during the period between December 2022 and December 2027, namely the “Provisional Progress Report”,, marking the progress in the elapsing five years on the basic scope of ADA1.0, and will be finalized by the end of December 2027. As such, the work during 2026 along this perspective is specifically planned to result in a provisional version of this progress report (in four years only). During 2027, it will be updated in terms of value to reflect the five years; and more importantly, it will also be radically expanded in terms of scope during 2027, as per the second perspective below, producing the first baseline for the expanded scope. Hence, work on this perspective during the second half of 2026 is expected to produce around one third of the final report planned for end of 2027. The rest will be during 2027 benefiting from feedback from the Ministerial Council meeting of December 2026/January 2027. The work on this perspective will be supported by the ongoing third round of the National Digital Development Reviews (NDDRs 3.0), which will be reflected in the the Arab Digital Development Report (ADDR 3.0) that will accompany the ADA2.0 as it accompaniment flagship by the end of 2027. 2-Second, looking forward As part of its future orientation, strategizing and constant update role, ADA2.0 will: a. adapt to be in synch with the latest global mandates inscribed in the latest UNGA Resolution 80/173 of December 2025, and the preceding Global Digital Compact 2024. b. introduce an updated architecture for the basic scope of ADA 1.0 - defined by the 85 Goals, the 69 Targets and the 85 indicators (defined in the first edition of the ADA) c. expand the scope of the original ADA framework to address frontier, emerging and strategic policy areas shaping digital development globally and regionally. ADA2.0 will specifically witness an expanded scope that contains new thematic dimensions and indicators related to: • Artificial Intelligence (AI); • Emerging technologies; • Peaceful uses of outer space and geospatial technologies; • Environmental sustainability and green digital transformation; • Digital postal services and postal sector transformation. d. introduce a new architecture defining the goals and targets of the expanded scope in terms of additional Goals, Targets and indicators (in addition to the existing basic scope defined by the existing five-cluster ESCWA conceptual framework for digital development, which stands as the DNA of the whole process). These updates and expansions are based on the updated Guiding Manuals (GM 2.5)/(GM 3.0), as the common methodological framework underpinning the NDDRs, ADDR and ADA processes; and the Digital Development- Measurement and Monitoring Model (DD-MMM 1.5)/(DD-MMM 2.0), as the common framework for measurement, monitoring and assessment of digital development progress. The associated ESCWA newly produced addendums, developed by ESCWA in consultation with member countries and regional stakeholders during 2025-2026, are currently guiding the process of digital development reviews at national and regional levels during 2026-2027 and are considered an integral part of the envisaged ADA2.0. Hence, the work during 2026 along this perspective is specifically planned to result in a provisional version of the proposed new architecture to member countries, namely the “Provisional Proposed Architecture”, regarding the following aspects that will need to be worked on during 2027:  the new architecture of the expanded scope and the newly introduced addendums, in terms of Goals, Targets and Indicators;  the positioning of the new architecture of the addendums, vis-à-vis the existing architecture of the basic scope.  the sustainability of the Digital Development indicators observatories at the national level.  the periodicity of the next milestones for monitoring progress.  advancing partnerships and alliances between ADA and the partners of various thematic subprogrammes. Hence, work on this perspective during the second half of 2026 is expected to produce around one third of the final version of ADA 2.0 planned for end of 2027. The rest will be during 2027 benefiting from feedback from the Ministerial Council meeting of December 2026/January 2027.

GENERAL SCOPE The widespread adoption of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public and private institutions has made the establishment of comprehensive cyber and data related legislation imperative. In the Arab region, many countries have made progress in developing cyber laws; however, the rapid evolution of digital services—such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), platform economies, and cross border data flows—continues to outpace existing legal frameworks. To fully harness the benefits of digital transformation while addressing risks related to privacy, security, and misuse of data, Arab countries are encouraged to develop and modernize their legislative frameworks to meet the demands of the digital age. At the global level, the UN promotes responsible, inclusive, and trustworthy use of digital and emerging technologies in support of sustainable development. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future during the Summit of the Future, together with its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC places strong emphasis on digital trust, effective digital governance, and the protection of human rights in the digital environment. Central to these objectives is the protection of personal data, which the GDC recognizes as a cornerstone of trust in digital systems and a prerequisite for people’s safe and meaningful participation in the digital economy. The UN ESCWA has a long standing role in supporting its member States in the development and reform of cyber legislation. In 2007, UN ESCWA published Models for Cyber Legislation in UN ESCWA Member Countries, which reviewed regional and international legal developments and proposed practical templates to assist countries in assessing and harmonizing national cyber laws. Through its technical cooperation program, UN ESCWA continues to support member States in strengthening legal, institutional, and regulatory capacities related to digital and emerging technologies, including data protection and regulatory oversight. Recently, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (MTIT) in Yemen has requested UN ESCWA’s advisory services to support the development of a personal data protection law aligned with international standards and regional best practices. Such a law would contribute to strengthening trust in digital services, protecting individuals’ rights, and supporting Yemen’s broader digital transformation efforts in line with global developments, including the principles set out in the GDC. In response, UN ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant to provide specialized expertise in personal data protection, with specific attention to the Yemeni legal and institutional context. Yemen's ongoing conflict and fragile institutional environment require that the draft law include a realistic implementation sequencing recommendation, identifying which provisions can be operationalized in the near term and which require institutional prerequisites, such as the establishment of a data protection authority. The consultant shall draw on established international frameworks including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data (2013 revision), the Council of Europe Convention 108+, and the Arab League's draft model data protection law, selecting and adapting provisions appropriate to Yemen's legal, institutional, and developmental context. This consultancy is part of a coordinated package of three inter-related legal instruments being developed simultaneously for Yemen: Access to Information Law, Personal Data Protection Law, and an e-Transactions and Trust Services Law. The consultant shall be aware of this broader legislative package and shall flag, in the drafting notes annex, any provisions in the assigned law that intersect with or depend upon the other instruments, to ensure coherence across the three laws. The advisory services, including the scope of work and expected outputs, are detailed in these Terms of Reference. III.
