<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant is expected to draft a paper that develops a framework outlining the key determinants for advancing care reforms and systems.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Around the world, societies and economies are undergoing socio-demographic changes such as ageing populations, low fertility rates, urbanization, increased migration, widespread crises and conflicts, and climate change, which have all intensified the demand for care. However, while gaining global importance, care work still remains invisible and undervalued, often relegated to informal and unpaid labour, disproportionately borne by women, thus hindering their empowerment. Although this trend is observed globally, it is particularly acute in the Arab region where women undertake 80 to 90 per cent of all unpaid care work and spend 4.7 times more time than men on these responsibilities, exceeding the global average of 3.62 . Unpaid care work hinders women’s visibility and participation in public economic and political spheres as well as in decision-making processes in the Arab region. The disproportionate unpaid care work undertaken by women limits their economic engagement and opportunities, as it makes it challenging for them to balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, women often face gender stereotypes, limited professional development opportunities, and an institutional culture that marginalizes their contributions. Women’s economic and political participation in the region remain low compared to global averages. In 2025, women’s labour force participation was only 19 per cent, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide . Women’s political representation shows a similarly stark gap. In December 2025, women held only 27 per cent of national parliamentary seats globally, with an even lower share in the Middle East and North Africa at around 16 per cent, the lowest in the world . However, there has been growing regional momentum realizing gains in the care economy with many countries in the Arab region offering instructive examples of care reforms. Nevertheless, these reforms are often sector-specific, focusing on one policy area such as labour without approaching care in a holistic manner interconnected across different sectors and policy areas. Within this context, understanding the political economy which examines how social, economic, and political factors shape care policies and systems becomes a pressing priority. Building on these reform efforts in the Arab region and looking at breakthroughs in care policymaking globally, including Latin America which has been particularly active in advancing comprehensive care systems, it is increasingly important to understand how care, often framed solely as a gender equality issue, intersects with other major development issues and policy domains. This highlights the regional need for policies that recognize care as a central element of sustainable economies and redistribute it among different stakeholders including the state. Ongoing inter-regional collaboration between UN regional commissions, namely ESCWA and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) including through a project on advancing care policies for transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Arab states, seeks to draw lessons from Latin American countries’ experiences in advancing comprehensive care systems. Given the inherent political nature of care policymaking, it is essential to understand what prompts political actors to prioritize care. A key driver is awareness around the critical role care plays in society and its far-reaching implications for economic and social well-being. When care is made visible as a cross-cutting issue that affects economic growth, labour force participation, health outcomes, social cohesion, and gender equality, it is more likely to gain traction in political discourse and influence the selection of policy instruments, thereby driving change in laws, budgets, and institutional support for care systems. Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to assist in drafting a paper, in collaboration with ECLAC, that thoroughly examines the factors and determinants behind care reforms, investigating the political economy of care in the Arab region and relating it to Latin America’s experience. The paper will draw on experiences from both Latin American and Arab countries to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond fragmented care reform policies towards comprehensive care systems. It will build on the recommendations provided by experts during ESCWA’s Expert Group Meeting on the Political Economy of Care Policies: Determinants for Reform in the Arab Region organized in July 2026. Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: - Desk review: undertake a desk review of available successful and as well as unachieved experiences in advancing care policies and systems from Latin America and the Arab region; - Based on the results of the desk review, undertake consultations with relevant stakeholders on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Review the results of consultations with relevant stakeholders from the Arab region on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Propose the elements and dynamics among key determinants to advance care policies and systems and draw lessons for future policy making and reforms on care while taking into account the discussions and recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting above mentioned. - Suggest a detailed outline to be validated and agreed upon with ESCWA’s team in consultation with ECLAC; - Based on the agreed outline, prepare the first draft of the paper to be reviewed by ESCWA’s team; - Prepare a final draft based on the comments and recommendations provided by ESCWA and ECLAC’s teams.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development states that good governance at all levels as well as transparent, effective and accountable institutions are necessary to build peaceful societies and achieve sustainable development. In this Agenda, specific measures are given to achieve such societies especially in Goal 16 “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”. Under this goal, the development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions (16.6), responsive, inclusive participatory and representative decision-making (16.7) and public access to information (16.10) are promoted as targets. To implement these targets, a partnership, between the Government, the private sector, civil society, other stakeholders (such as the public, and regional, sub-regional and international institutions) and citizens, is envisioned. Better governance and better public institutions are essential elements in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Technology and innovation provide governments with options to achieve the individual targets set out in Goal 16. Innovation in the public sector provides new processes, products and services that can either be new technologies or be supported by technologies that promotes access to information, inclusiveness, citizen participation, accountability, transparency and responsiveness. When the government adopts news technologies and openness as part of its paradigm, the possibility of collaboration, shared responsibility and co-decision-making, strengthens the government and empowers its citizens. 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 GDC mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation. Recently, many Arab countries started developing/updating their national plans and strategies to reflect the aspects of digital government transformation. The Environment Quality Authority (EQA) in Palestine requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop their digital transformation strategy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital strategy to the Authority. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital transformation strategy. To produce the draft strategy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>Collaborate with UNEP and the SCE in conducting a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's single-use plastics landscape, together with evidence-based policy recommendations and a practical implementation roadmap to enable informed decision-making, strengthen the national policy framework, and accelerate the country's transition towards a circular economy for plastics.<br> Work Location<br>Home based<br> Expected duration<br>9 months-part time<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. The Regional Office for West Asia delivers advisory services and capacity building support to countries to achieve environmental and sustainable development objectives. The UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) provides technical cooperation and policy advice to countries in the region to help achieve their environmental goals and sustainable development priorities. Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide, posing significant risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable development. Single-use plastics (SUPs), including plastic bags, food packaging, disposable cutlery, straws, and beverage containers, represent a substantial share of plastic waste due to their short lifespan and limited recovery after use. The Kingdom of Bahrain has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing plastic pollution through a range of regulatory and policy measures. Recent initiatives include restrictions on non-biodegradable plastic bags, limitations on small plastic beverage containers, and broader efforts to promote sustainable waste management and environmental protection. Nevertheless, SUPs continue to constitute a significant source of plastic pollution, particularly in terrestrial and marine environments. Recognizing the need to strengthen existing policy measures, the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE), in collaboration with UNEP ROWA, is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework governing single-use plastics. The assessment will identify strengths, gaps, implementation challenges, and opportunities for improvement while drawing upon international good practices and lessons learned from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Arab region, and other jurisdictions. The assignment will culminate in the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap to reinforce Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. UNEP seeks to recruit an International Expert on Plastic Pollution and Circular Economy to provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory provision for the assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework on single-use plastics, the review of international best practices, stakeholder consultations, and the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap, in close coordination with the SCE and under UNEP ROWA supervision. The objective of this assignment is to contribute to the work of UNEP ROWA in reviewing the current status of single-use plastics in Bahrain, assessing the effectiveness of the existing policy and regulatory framework, identifying policy and implementation gaps, benchmarking international and regional good practices, and developing a practical policy framework and implementation roadmap to reduce single-use plastics and advance Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. The expert will provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory maintenance throughout the assignment.
