They encompass the actors and activities involved in producing, processing, distributing and consuming food, and are shaped by their interactions with health, nutrition, livelihoods, natural resources and climate. The 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit underscored the need for integrated approaches to food systems transformation, recognizing these interlinkages and the importance of coherent action across sectors. Food systems in the Arab region are exposed to multiple, interconnected pressures. Water scarcity, land degradation and climate change constrain productive capacity and increase exposure to drought, heat stress, floods and other climate-related shocks, with implications for food production and rural livelihoods. At the same time, high dependence on food imports in many countries increases the exposure of food availability and affordability to international market volatility, trade disruptions and supply-chain shocks. Conflict, economic instability and other crises can compound these pressures, disrupting production, markets and infrastructure and exacerbating existing vulnerabilities across food systems. These pressures have important implications not only for food security and nutrition, but also for rural livelihoods, employment, and natural resource management. Understanding the structural characteristics and vulnerabilities of food systems across the region is therefore important for strengthening resilience, sustainability, and inclusivity. Objective To prepare an analytical paper on food systems across Arab States that elaborates on current conditions and offers insights on potential future developments. The consultant will compile and analyze relevant data, identify regional examples, and prepare a paper in accordance with the agreed outline. Duties and Responsibilities Under the overall guidance of the Climate Change and Natural Resource Sustainability Cluster Lead and the direct supervision of the Chief of Environmental and Food Policies Team, the consultant will undertake the following tasks: • Provide a framing for food systems transformation in the Arab region, drawing on national processes and priorities, as well as regional and global approaches to food systems. • Review the present landscape characterizing food systems in Arab countries, providing examples of fruitful cooperation between multiple Arab countries. • Examine key drivers of food-system vulnerability and resilience in the region, including climate change, water scarcity, natural resource constraints, conflict, and economic and market shocks. • Assess the role of cross-national linkages in shaping food-system outcomes, including flows of food, agricultural inputs, finance, technology and knowledge, and identify opportunities for regional cooperation. • Offer insights and recommendations on priority areas for investment and cooperation to strengthen food security, nutrition, livelihoods, and the resilience and sustainability of food systems across the region.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A master's degree or higher in food security/food systems, economics, public policy, agriculture, climate change, sustainable development or a related field is required.

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. 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 and thereby ensure that the narrative language should be gender sensitive.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>An advanced university degree in digital technologies, software engineering or a related field is required; a Ph.D. is desirable.
