The programme also works on the support of host-communities in response to the Syrian refugee crisis and is the Social and Environmental Safeguards focal point for the office; therefore, the Programme also ensures the integration of environmental best-practices into the overall implementation strategy of UNDP.</p><br> <p>The Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) is implemented by UNDP on behalf of the GEF Partnership. UNDP oversees the Small Grants Programme (SGP) through the Vertical Hub and the Nature Hub of <strong>Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (</strong>BPPS). Funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Small Grants Programme efficiently channels direct grants to non-governmental and community-based organizations to help them cope with climate change; conserve biodiversity; protect international waters; reduce the impact of Persistent Organic Pollutants; and prevent land degradation. Helping communities with their initiatives for sustainable livelihoods while generating global environmental benefits is the core inspiration of the Small Grants Programme.</p><br> <p>Launched in 1992 as a corporate programme of the GEF, the GEF Small Grants Programme (GEF SGP) has supported local action for over thirty years to address global environmental concerns. SGP aims to deliver global environmental benefits in the GEF focal areas of biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, protection of international waters, prevention of land degradation, and elimination of persistent organic pollutants through community-based approaches. To date, SGP has funded over 29,000 community-based projects covering more than 120 countries. It has gained considerable experiences at the community level, including adapting to climate change while addressing issues of the GEF focal areas.

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.

<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>
