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. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Financial & Internal Controller <br>Job Description <br> <br>Job Summary <br>The Financial & Internal Controller holds a dual mandate in the club: maintaining the accuracy and integrity of all financial records, and independently auditing the operational and commercial activity of the business to ensure compliance, consistency, and accountability across all departments. <br>This is not a passive record-keeping role. The Financial & Internal Controller is expected to proactively identify financial irregularities, operational gaps, and process deviations — then document, escalate, and follow up until they are resolved. The role requires equal parts financial discipline and investigative rigour. <br>Working closely with the operations, administration, and management teams, this role acts as an internal safeguard — ensuring that what happens on the floor, at the point of sale, and across all systems is accurately reflected in the books and aligned with the company's policies. <br> <br>I. Financial Control & Bookkeeping <br>Purchase Order & Invoice Management <br>• Review and verify Purchase Orders (POs) created by the operations team to ensure they are complete, accurate, and properly documented before any goods are received. <br>• Cross-check Purchase Invoices (PIs) against their corresponding POs to confirm quantities, prices, and supplier details match. <br>• Ensure each PI is correctly allocated to the appropriate account or cost centre within the system based on the nature of the order. <br>• Flag and escalate any discrepancies between a PO and PI before payment is processed — no invoice should be paid without verified matching. <br>• Maintain a clean and auditable record of all POs, PIs, and their allocation status. <br>Account Allocation & Transaction Recording <br>• Allocate all financial transactions — incoming and outgoing — to the correct accounts within the system. <br>• Ensure all payments received are accurately matched to the right membership, service, or product category. <br>• Identify and correct misallocated transactions identified through daily or periodic reviews. <br>• Maintain consistency in how transactions are categorized to ensure reporting accuracy over time. <br>Inventory Cost Tracking <br>• Track the cost of inventory items from purchase through to consumption or sale. <br>• Monitor the lifecycle of key inventory items — identifying ordering patterns, cost trends, and consumption rates. <br>• Highlight items with unusual cost patterns, high waste rates, or low turnover and bring them to management's attention. <br>• Ensure physical stock counts align with system records and cost data in coordination with the operations team. <br>Financial Records & Reporting <br>• Maintain up-to-date and accurate financial records across the system and supporting tools. <br>• Prepare periodic summaries of income, expenses, and inventory costs as requested by management. <br>• Ensure all financial documentation — invoices, receipts, payment records — is properly filed and retrievable at any time. <br>• Support management with ad-hoc financial data requests, reconciliation tasks, and cost analysis. <br> <br>II. Internal Audit & Control <br>Sales Pipeline Audit <br>• Conduct regular reviews of the sales pipeline to verify that all leads, prospects, and conversions are accurately logged and progressing as expected. <br>• Identify gaps, stalled entries, or unresolved leads that have not been followed up within the expected timeframe. <br>• Cross-reference pipeline activity with actual membership sales to detect any discrepancies between what was sold and what was recorded. <br>• Flag patterns of non-compliance or incomplete sales documentation to management with supporting evidence. <br>Transaction & POS Audit <br>• Review point-of-sale transactions on a regular basis to verify that all sales, discounts, voids, and refunds were authorized and correctly applied. <br>• Identify and investigate any irregular discounting patterns, unauthorized price overrides, or transactions that deviate from standard operating procedure. <br>• Verify that cash and digital payment records reconcile with the physical and system-level cash handover reports. <br>• Ensure all transactions — memberships, PT sessions, cafeteria sales, and add-ons — are accurately reflected in both the system and the financial records. <br>Administration Task Audit <br>• Periodically review administration tasks completed within the system to verify that procedures were followed correctly and completely. <br>• Check that member requests, cases, and operational actions were handled in accordance with established SOPs — not just that they were closed, but that they were handled correctly. <br>• Identify instances where tasks were skipped, incorrectly completed, or improperly documented and escalate with full context. <br>• Review staff attendance records and payroll inputs for accuracy and flag any anomalies or patterns that require investigation. <br>Operational Compliance Review <br>• Conduct periodic audits of key operational areas — including purchasing, inventory, cash handling, and mem

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>Project activities are effectively implemented, resulting in youth and persons with disabilities being better prepared for employment and actively connected to inclusive opportunities, thereby contributing to greater economic participation, autonomy, and independence.<br> Work Location<br>UN ESCWA/ Remotely<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Youth inequality in Jordan has been rising since 2015 and now exceeds global and regional averages. Young people, particularly those with disabilities, face high levels of underemployment and exclusion from social and economic life. Despite legal frameworks that guarantee equality, persons with disabilities remain marginalized, with employment rates at only 21 per cent compared to 39 per cent for persons without disabilities. This exclusion is not only a social challenge but also an economic burden, costing the national economy an estimated $328 million annually. The barriers are both cultural—persistent misconceptions about productivity and cost—and structural, including inaccessible transport, unsuitable urban environments, and limited workplace accommodations. ESCWA has long been engaged in advancing disability inclusion and youth empowerment across the Arab region. Through its convening power, technical expertise, and regional mandate, ESCWA has supported national strategies, strengthened policy frameworks, and enhanced labour market statistics to promote inclusive development. In Jordan, ESCWA has produced policy briefs analyzing the challenges and opportunities for persons with disabilities. In 2025 the Government of Jordan formally requested ESCWA’s assistance in developing a national strategy for the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities, alongside technical support for programs aimed at connecting social assistance beneficiaries—including youth and persons with disabilities—to the labour market. In response, ESCWA is implementing the project “From Dependence to Dignity: Economic Empowerment for Persons with Disabilities and Youth in Jordan.” The project combines high-level policy reform with practical, demand-driven interventions. It focuses on three main areas: launching a national strategy for the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities; enacting reforms to bridge the national skills mismatch; and upgrading the skills of youth and persons with disabilities while connecting them to inclusive employment opportunities. Central to this effort is the enhancement of the Josour Initiative, which strengthens skills, employability, and job-matching opportunities for persons with disabilities and youth. By integrating these tools with Jordan’s national systems, the project aims to reduce inequalities, promote decent work, and empower marginalized groups to transition from dependence to dignity. Objective ESCWA seeks to hire an individual contractor to support the project “From Dependence to Dignity: Economic Empowerment for Persons with Disabilities and Youth in Jordan,” contributing to skills development, labour market access, and inclusive employment opportunities through the Josour platform, awareness campaigns, training, and private sector partnerships. Duties and Responsibilities: The individual contractor is requested to: General Project Support • Provide administrative and logistical support for project implementation, including meetings, workshops, and policy dialogues. • Draft and respond to routine correspondence and communications. • Compile, organize, and edit information for reports, work plans, presentations, and other project documents. • Proofread and edit texts for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to standards. • Prepare presentation and communication materials using appropriate technology and software. Josour Platform and Skills Development • Support the maintenance and enhancement of the Josour platform by ensuring regular updates on announcements, opportunities, and skills analysis, while providing ongoing user support. • Support awareness raising campaigns to increase enrollment of users, including persons with disabilities. • Support the mapping and engagement of potential partners across Arab countries. • Support in the collection and analysis of data on training participation, platform usage, and employment outcomes. • Assist in the preparation of agendas, info notes, presentations, and background material for meetings and activities. • Coordinate with partners and stakeholders on matters related to the Josour’s national chapters. • Contribute to evaluations to ensure activities remain inclusive, demand-driven, and responsive to beneficiary needs • Perform other related tasks as required.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in one of the following fields is required: Social Sciences, International Relations, Public Administration, Project Management, Social Policy, Social Development, or another relevant field. Eight years of progressively responsive experience in general office support or related area is required. Experience working in similar development projects is desirable. Background/familiarity with e-platforms management is desirable.

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.

Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Assessment of EQA available capabilities, including current IT infrastructure, equipment, services and platforms; 6.

This may include existing work procedures, process workflows, forms and interconnections between procedures, key business processes across departments and EQA offices in governorates and the HQ in Ramallah, Data centre project, EQA website, the need for AI systems if any. 7. Prepare the needed digital transformation strategy based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis, national needs (SWOT analysis) and technical analysis; 8. Present the draft report in a national workshop or meeting (physically or remotely) and capture the main comments and findings of the discussions; 9. Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and EQA. The final draft report includes the above-mentioned assessment, SWOT, the suggested strategy with timeframe of implementation of identified initiatives.
