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. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Palestine related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to Digital Transformation Strategies and policies (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> <span>Aspire Software is looking for a AI Developer to join our team in Lebanon.<br> Here is a little window into our company: Aspire Software operates and manages wholly owned software companies, providing mission-critical solutions across multiple verticals.<br> By implementing industry best practices, Aspire delivers a time sensitive integration process, and the operation of a decentralized model has allowed it to become a hub for creating rapid growth by reinvesting in its portfolio.<br> About the job: We are deliberately looking for someone who has not worked in COBOL before.<br> The goal is for you to learn the core directly from our senior engineer, in his way, without competing habits to unlearn, so the knowledge transfers cleanly and intact.<br> Your modern engineering instincts are what you bring; the COBOL you will learn from the person who knows it best.<br> This is also why we are looking for an engineer who works fluently with AI.<br> Once you understand how the core actually behaves, modern AI tooling becomes a force-multiplier for documenting it, reasoning about it, and ultimately migrating it to a modern stack.<br> Deep system knowledge and strong AI capability are the two halves of how this modernisation actually gets done, and we expect this hire to bring the second from day one and build the first here.<br> If the idea of going deep into a complex, valuable, decades-old system, and emerging as one of the few people in the world who genuinely understands it, sounds like your kind of challenge, we want to talk to you.<br> In your first six months Spend a meaningful proportion of your time learning our COBOL core in structured sessions with our senior platform engineer.<br> This is protected time, treated as part of the role, not something you do around other work.<br> Contribute to modern Go services in the stack from week one, on scoped pieces of work that build context without putting you on the critical path.<br> Help us document what you’re learning as you learn it.<br> Fresh eyes are uniquely valuable for surfacing the things long-tenured engineers no longer notice.<br> Pair with the existing team across the stack to understand how Go services, the COBOL core, and the surrounding tooling actually interact in production.<br> Use AI tooling deliberately as part of how you learn: to summarise unfamiliar code, surface questions for your mentor, and turn what you learn into clear documentation faster than fresh eyes could alone.<br> Beyond six months Take ownership of meaningful work across both the modern and legacy halves of the platform, with growing autonomy.<br> Help repair and modernise core engineering processes: testing, deployment, definition of done, and the way work flows from support into engineering.<br> Contribute to the broader modernisation program: knowledge capture, internal AI tooling, and the eventual decomposition of the platform into smaller, more approachable modules.<br> Lead AI-assisted modernisation of the parts of the core you have come to understand, translating well-understood COBOL into well-tested modern services, with AI as a lever rather than a crutch.<br> Own projects end to end.<br> Work starts from a client-facing Design Doc that describes data flow and outcomes but not detailed technical specs; from there you own the technical design, the implementation, your own alpha testing, and everything in between.<br> Adapt to the business.<br> Priorities can shift at short notice when urgent client issues arise, and you will be expected to flex with them.<br> Mentor the next Go-into-COBOL hire as the team grows.<br> 4–7 years of professional software engineering experience, with significant time writing production Go.<br> Comfortable working in a large, complex codebase where the answer is rarely on Stack Overflow.<br> You enjoy reading code more than you fear it.<br> Strong fundamentals: data structures, concurrency, debugging, designing for failure modes.<br> Language familiarity matters less than the habits of mind.<br> Demonstrable, judgment-led fluency with AI in a real engineering workflow.<br> You use AI tools daily to read and understand unfamiliar code, accelerate routine work, and draft documentation, and you can explain clearly where you trust their output and where you don’t.<br> We care less about which tools you use than about the judgement you bring to using them.<br> This is a hard requirement for the role.<br> The interpersonal maturity to learn directly from a highly experienced, exacting mentor.<br> You can build trust, adapt to an established way of working, and absorb knowledge patiently, rather than rushing to impose your own approach before you understand why things are the way they are.<br> A genuine willingness, ideally an active interest, in learning COBOL and working in a heritage system.<br> This is not a stepping stone to a pure greenfield role; the COBOL work is the role.<br> No prior COBOL experience is expected or needed; you will learn it here, from the person who knows it best.<br> Strong written communication.<br> You will be helping us turn tribal knowledge into durable documentation.<br> Comfortable with ambiguity.<br> The codebase has decades of history, the documentation is improving but not yet complete, and you will sometimes need to figure things out by reading and asking rather than by looking them up.<br> Based in a UK/EMEA timezone and able to commit to a consistent daily overlap with California (Pacific) working hours.<br> This is a genuine requirement of the role, not a preference: you will be learning directly from our retiring senior, who is based there, so dependable shared hours are essential.<br> You will also keep reliable overlap with the rest of the UK/EMEA team.<br> Comfortable owning the full development cycle and shifting priorities when needed.<br> You will own projects end to end (see What you’ll do), and you will sometimes need to reprioritise at short notice for urgent client work.<br> These are the two things new hires here most often underestimate.<br> Strong indicators Experience working with or alongside legacy systems: mainframe, monolithic, or otherwise long-lived.<br> You understand that “legacy” often means “load-bearing” and treat it with appropriate respect.<br> Experience in domains with deep business logic (finance, logistics, telecoms, insurance, ERP, or similar) where correctness matters more than ergonomics.<br> Comfortable in polyglot environments.<br> Our stack includes Go, the COBOL core, and a long tail of supporting languages and platforms accumulated over years.<br> Track record of improving the engineering practices around you (testing discipline, deployment hygiene, documentation, onboarding) rather than just shipping features.<br> Experience pairing closely with a more senior engineer and absorbing knowledge from them.<br> Experience building or working with AI-assisted developer tooling in a serious production context: agents, code generation, retrieval over large codebases, or similar.<br> You have opinions, grounded in real use, about where it earns its keep.<br> Nice to have Experience with car rental, fleet, travel, hospitality, or other operationally complex industries.<br> Experience contributing to a platform modernisation, replatforming, or legacy-to-modern migration program.<br> Familiarity with Perl or PostScript.<br> Parts of the surrounding toolchain still touch both; not a blocker at all if you have not used them, but real exposure is a genuine plus.<br></span> </div>

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. Purpose and Objectives of this assignment In summary, the consultancy subject to this assignment aims to support ESCWA and LAS in producing the first version of ADA 2.0, within the following contexts: • The NDDRs 3.0, ADDR 3.0 and ADA 2.0 processes constitute three interlinked components of a single regional policy cycle. o NDDRs 3.0 provides the national evidence base, o ADDR 3.0 provides the regional analytical synthesis, and o ADA 2.0 translates these findings into a regional strategic framework and implementation roadmap for digital development and digital cooperation in the Arab region. • This process is further anchored in United Nations General Assembly resolution 80/173 on the WSIS+20 review, which reaffirms the role of the United Nations regional commissions as regional mechanisms for implementation and follow-up of WSIS outcomes and calls for scaling up policy guidance, technical assistance, capacity-building and partnerships in support of digital development. • ADA 2.0 constitutes the regional strategic policy framework through which Arab countries will operationalize regional commitments related to WSIS+20, the Global Digital Compact, the Pact for the Future, Arab Vision 2045 and the Arab Digital Agenda 2023–2033, while contributing to the implementation of Arab Vision 2045 through digital development, digital cooperation and digital transformation pathways.
