At the same time, the United Nations system recognizes that AI has profound and far reaching impacts on human lives, economies, and ecosystems, influencing decision making, social interactions, and access to opportunities. While AI can serve as a powerful enabler for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it also presents significant risks, including bias and discrimination, threats to human rights and privacy, environmental costs, and the potential to exacerbate existing digital and socioeconomic inequalities if not properly governed. In response to these challenges, UNESCO adopted in 2021 the first global normative instrument on AI ethics, which underscores that the protection of human rights and human dignity must remain at the core of AI systems throughout their lifecycle . The Recommendation highlights the importance of principles such as transparency, accountability, fairness, inclusiveness, and human oversight to ensure that AI technologies are trustworthy and aligned with human centered values. At the global level, the establishment of robust AI ethics frameworks is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for building trust in emerging technologies, enabling international cooperation, and ensuring that innovation contributes to inclusive and sustainable development. International organizations, including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), emphasize that ethical governance, standards, and multistakeholder collaboration are essential to harness AI’s transformative potential across sectors such as health, agriculture, and disaster management, while mitigating associated risks and ensuring equitable access. In this context, ethical AI frameworks are not only regulatory tools but also strategic enablers for innovation, competitiveness, and social cohesion at the global level . In the Arab region, AI is recognized by UN-ESCWA as a defining megatrend with the potential to drive economic diversification, enhance public service delivery, and create new employment and skills opportunities across key sectors. The development of context specific, inclusive, and responsible AI governance frameworks is critical to ensure that AI adoption aligns with regional values, strengthens social inclusion, and supports progress towards national development priorities and the SDGs. For Mauritania, developing a national AI ethics framework is a strategic priority to guide the responsible adoption and use of AI technologies in line with international standards and best practices. Such a framework will play a critical role in safeguarding fundamental rights, strengthening public trust in digital transformation, and enhancing institutional capacity for AI governance. It will also provide a foundation for fostering innovation, attracting investment, and ensuring that AI applications contribute to inclusive economic growth, improved public service delivery, and sustainable socio economic development. UN-ESCWA, through its technical cooperation program, is committed to provide technical assistance to its member states to boost national efforts towards the achievement of the 2030 Development Agenda. Recently, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Modernization of Admin (MTNMA) in Mauritania requested UN-ESCWA’s assistance in developing the national framework of AI Ethics. 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 national framework for the AI code of ethics in Mauritania.

GENERAL SCOPE Personal data protection is a foundational requirement for trustworthy digital transformation and for the responsible deployment of emerging technologies such as AI, cloud computing, digital platforms, and data-driven public services. As economic and social activities increasingly expand, privacy and data protection have become critical to fostering trust, securing online environments and supporting the sustainable growth of the digital economy. Privacy is a fundamental value and a key condition for trust, sharing and use of data. This is especially relevant in the Arab region, where digital adoption is advancing but unevenly, this disparity underscores the need to ensure that digital expansion is accompanied by strong legal safeguards that protect citizens and reinforce confidence in digital services. In Jordan, the importance of the Personal Data Protection Law No. 24 of 2023 lies not only in the existence of the law itself, but in its effective application, institutional commitment and ongoing monitoring. The law recognizes that every natural person has the rights to protect their personal data (Art. 4). The law urges entities to request the prior consent of these natural persons where it should be explicit, documented, specific, and presented in clear, simple, and accessible language (Art. 5). To ensure implementation, the law establishes a Personal Data Protection Council with powers to approve policies, standards, and to monitor implementation (Arts.16–17), as well as a specialized Unit within the Ministry to receive complaints, investigate violations, monitor compliance and maintain registries (Art. 18). The law further provides mandatory breach notification and imposes penalties for violations (Art. 20, 21, 22). For that reason, applying and monitoring the law is essential to translate legal text into real accountability, reduce institutional and reputational risk, protect individuals’ rights, and strengthen trust in Jordan’s digital economy and public administration. Developing clear, practical and guidebooks is essential for the successful implementation of the Jordanian Personal Data Protection Law. While the law provides the legal framework, employees in public and private sectors, and all citizens, need simple operational guidance tailored to their daily life. This would play a critical role in translating the law into actionable procedures, reducing inconsistent interpretation, building institutional capacity, and helping employees comply with the law in a consistent, confident and citizen-centred manner. Countries of the Arab region continue to express interest in receiving UN-ESCWA’s advisory services on cyber legislation related topics. Most recently, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) in Jordan requested UN-ESCWA’s assistance in developing a guidebook to implement the personal data protection law (PDPL) in Jordan The provision of this advisory service is the subject of these terms of reference. III. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the guidebook. To produce the draft doc, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review national documents, including legislation, existing policies, and other relevant national references in Jordan related to digital transformation, personal data protection, and related material. 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to PDP implementation guidebooks (at least three regional cases and three international cases); 3. Identify key national stakeholders and, in coordination with the MoDEE team, conduct interviews and meetings with representative of public and private sectors. 4.

Through an integrated approach that combines policy dialogue, analytical research, capacity-building, and digital innovation, ESCWA assists member States in mobilizing and managing financing across key sources, including domestic public resources, private investment, international development cooperation, trade and investment flows, and sustainable debt management. This work is aligned with global commitments, including the Seville Commitment, which underscores the importance of strengthening accountability and governance in financing development, as well as the mandates to address financing leakages as a key enabler of financing sustainable development. (paragraphs 29 (a) &amp; (c), 28 (e), and 33 (a)). Central to this work is the conduct of detailed diagnostics of the financing for development landscape, analysing the various sources of financing available to address five major financing rifts that continue to impede sustainable development in the Arab region: financing insolvencies, financing inequalities, fiscal space constraints, funding shortfalls, and debt-financing overhangs. In response, ESCWA advances regional cooperation on domestic resource mobilization, integrated financing solutions, diversifying sources of revenues and addressing leakages related to illicit financial flows and investment distortions. These efforts are complemented by policy recommendations and practical tools to support governments in improving revenue mobilization and financing strategies. In parallel, ESCWA has developed a forward-looking digital financing ecosystem composed of analytical and AI-powered tools that enable governments assess financing gaps, improve spending efficiency, optimize public spending, address illicit financial flows, strengthen multiple aspects of their financing strategies, enhance policy targeting, accelerate progress towards the SDGs, and design integrated financing strategies aligned with national development priorities. This ecosystem has received recognition at multiple institutional levels and has been endorsed under the Seville Platform of Action and recognized by DESA as a scalable, real-life application that can be adapted and replicated across countries and regions. Within this context, ESCWA seeks a consultant to provide support in the implementation of various FfD activities as detailed below. Duties and Responsibilities 1- Map productive linkages across pilot country/countries’ production base and financing structure to identify sectoral interdependencies, financing bottlenecks, and opportunities for higher-value economic transformation. 2- Estimate latent financing-space linkages by combining prospective structural configurations, visualization tools, and empirical signals of capability-space adjacency to identify feasible pathways for economic diversification and financing mobilization for blended finance while addressing resource leakages. 3- Construct and align a high-dimensional proximity matrix across the production universe, integrating relevant product, sectoral, industrial, and financing classification systems to enable comparable mapping of productive and financing linkages, identify tax- and trade-based leakage channels, and detect unrealized or suboptimally realized productive potential. 4- Normalize and validate the matrix to ensure connectivity, consistency, and suitability for modelling and network diagnostics. 5- Develop a structural scoring framework to assess relative feasibility, productive accessibility, and strategic positioning of diversified commodity-linked financing opportunities, while identifying products and sectors exposed to illicit financial flow risks. 6- Design and implement a Python-based analytical framework to query, harmonize, and transform relevant investment datasets into a standardized panel, supporting downstream empirical analysis and the identification of potential anomalies in investment patterns. 7- Apply data-driven analytical methods to identify patterns, groupings and relationships across sectors and products based on selected structural and operational characteristics. 8- Integrate Product-level production indicators to assess economic trends, identify priority areas, and highlight sector-focused policy support. 9- Develop and apply econometric models to assess structural feasibility, between proximate products across inter-connected products and sectors.

GENERAL SCOPE The rapid adoption and expansion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public and private institutions have fundamentally transformed the way governments, businesses, and individuals interact. This ongoing digital transformation offers significant opportunities for economic growth, innovation, and improved service delivery, while simultaneously giving rise to complex legal, regulatory, and security challenges. In this context, the development, modernization, and effective implementation of e-transactions legislation have become a critical priority for governments worldwide to ensure legal certainty, trust, and security in digital environments. Across the Arab region, several countries have made notable progress in establishing legal frameworks governing e-transactions, trust services, data protection, cybersecurity, and related areas. Nevertheless, the continuous emergence of new digital applications—such as cloud computing, mobile platforms, digital identity systems, and artificial intelligence (AI)—has requested countries to continuously upgrade those laws to align with the best international practices and the evolving requirements of the digital age. At the global level, the UN continues to promote the responsible, inclusive, and trustworthy use of emerging technologies in support of sustainable development. In September 2024, during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future, together with its annexes—the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC underscores the importance of digital trust, secure and interoperable digital systems, and effective digital governance. These objectives depend fundamentally on robust e-transactions legislation that provides legal recognition to e-communications, signatures, trust services, and contracts mechanisms, thereby enabling safe participation in the digital economy. The UN‑ESCWA has a long-standing engagement in supporting its member States in the field of cyber legislation. In 2007, UN‑ESCWA published the study “Models for Cyber Legislation in UN‑ESCWA Member Countries”, which reviewed regional and international legal developments and introduced practical templates for assessing and reforming national cyber laws. The objective of those templates is to support Arab countries in drafting and harmonizing national cyber laws. Through its technical cooperation program, UN‑ESCWA remains committed to assisting member States in strengthening legal and institutional capacities related to the digital and emerging technologies. Recently, the Ministry of Telecom and Information Tech (MTIT) in Yemen requested UN‑ESCWA’s advisory services to develop e-transactions and trust services law aligned with international standards and regional best practices. In response, UN‑ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant to provide specialized expertise in the area of e-transactions and trust services, with a particular focus on the Yemeni legal and institutional context. The consultant shall use as primary reference frameworks the ESCWA Cyber legislation directives, UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce (1996), the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures (2001), and the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (2017), supplementing these with the EU eIDAS Regulation and relevant Arab country implementations. For the purposes of this consultancy, 'trust services' include: qualified electronic signatures and seals, electronic timestamps, electronic registered delivery services, website authentication certificates, and preservation services for electronic signatures, consistent with the eIDAS framework or its functional equivalent. This consultancy is part of a coordinated package of three inter-related legal instruments being developed simultaneously for Yemen: Access to Information Law, Personal Data Protection Law, and an e-Transactions and Trust Services Law. The consultant shall be aware of this broader legislative package and shall flag, in the drafting notes annex, any provisions in the assigned law that intersect with or depend upon the other instruments, to ensure coherence across the three laws. The provision of this advisory service, including the scope of work and expected outputs, is outlined in these Terms of Reference III. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report on e-transaction law. To produce the draft report, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Benchmarking and Best Practices • Review current national laws related to digital and emerging technologies in Yemen; • Review best regional and international practices in e-Transaction and trust services law (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases) and justification for case selection provided in the report; 2. Stakeholder Engagement • Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with MTIT, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals; • Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; • Discuss priorities and needs with MTIT and ESCWA; • Document findings, priorities, and challenges. 3. Situational analysis • Analyze existing legislation, and regulatory frameworks; • Conduct a comprehensive gap analysis; 4.

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.

The Regional Office for West Asia delivers advisory services and capacity building support to countries to achieve environmental and sustainable development objectives. The UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) provides technical cooperation and policy advice to countries in the region to help achieve their environmental goals and sustainable development priorities. Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide, posing significant risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable development. Single-use plastics (SUPs), including plastic bags, food packaging, disposable cutlery, straws, and beverage containers, represent a substantial share of plastic waste due to their short lifespan and limited recovery after use. The Kingdom of Bahrain has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing plastic pollution through a range of regulatory and policy measures. Recent initiatives include restrictions on non-biodegradable plastic bags, limitations on small plastic beverage containers, and broader efforts to promote sustainable waste management and environmental protection. Nevertheless, SUPs continue to constitute a significant source of plastic pollution, particularly in terrestrial and marine environments. Recognizing the need to strengthen existing policy measures, the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE), in collaboration with UNEP ROWA, is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework governing single-use plastics. The assessment will identify strengths, gaps, implementation challenges, and opportunities for improvement while drawing upon international good practices and lessons learned from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Arab region, and other jurisdictions. The assignment will culminate in the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap to reinforce Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. UNEP seeks to recruit an International Expert on Plastic Pollution and Circular Economy to provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory provision for the assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework on single-use plastics, the review of international best practices, stakeholder consultations, and the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap, in close coordination with the SCE and under UNEP ROWA supervision. The objective of this assignment is to contribute to the work of UNEP ROWA in reviewing the current status of single-use plastics in Bahrain, assessing the effectiveness of the existing policy and regulatory framework, identifying policy and implementation gaps, benchmarking international and regional good practices, and developing a practical policy framework and implementation roadmap to reduce single-use plastics and advance Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. The expert will provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory maintenance throughout the assignment.
