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.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The ultimate result of service of the consultancy is to support ESCWA in providing technical assistance and capacity development to PCBS on risk management for statistical work, using the GSBPM as the main reference framework. The support will help PCBS staff review current arrangements, identify gaps and priority areas, and develop practical tools, procedures and a phased action plan aligned with the existing national strategy for the development of statistics and the requirements of the National Statistical System.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) submitted a technical cooperation request to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) for technical advisory and capacity-development support in risk management for statistical work. The request aims to strengthen the capacity of PCBS staff to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor risks that may affect the production of official statistics, in accordance with the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM). The GSBPM will serve as the main reference framework for linking risk management to the phases of statistical production. This support is particularly relevant in the Palestinian context, where political, security and humanitarian conditions may affect field data collection, access to certain areas and population groups, staff mobility, administrative data flows, digital infrastructure, dissemination, and the continuity of statistical production. ESCWA will provide the requested support with the assistance of an international consultant. The proposed support will focus on enabling PCBS staff to develop a practical and applicable approach for managing risks related to statistical work according to the GSBPM phases, strengthening institutional preparedness, continuity, quality and reliability of official statistics, and ensuring alignment with the existing national strategy for the development of statistics and coordination requirements within the National Statistical System. Technical support is expected to start remotely during the initial phase. It may subsequently be built upon through more interactive technical support and capacity-development modalities, including in-person technical meetings, face-to-face training or a hybrid format, whenever feasible, as a future direction to be considered in light of progress and available resources. Duties and Responsibilities Under the overall supervision of ESCWA's Project Coordinator and in close coordination with PCBS, the consultant will: 1. Undertake a review of the current situation, covering relevant documents, policies, procedures and practices, complemented by interviews and working sessions with the relevant technical and administrative departments. 2. Support PCBS in assessing risks across the main phases of the GSBPM: needs, design, build, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and evaluation. 3. Provide online technical guidance and capacity-development sessions on risk concepts, GSBPM-based risk mapping, risk registers, mitigation measures, monitoring and reporting. 4. Assist PCBS in developing a practical risk management approach for statistical work, including roles, responsibilities, coordination mechanisms, escalation procedures and review arrangements. 5. Support the preparation of practical tools and templates, including a risk register, risk assessment matrix, mitigation plan, monitoring format and reporting template. 6.
