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

<p>Position Information • VA No.: UNDP/LBN/VA26/135 • Position Title: National Agricultural Consultant • Duty Station: Beirut with frequent site visits to North, Bekaa, Mount Lebanon and the South. • Duration: 3 months (18 working days per month) • Vacancy Date of Issue: 13 August 2026 • Vacancy Closure Date: 21 August 2026 • National or International consultancy: National consultancy To review the full Terms of Reference (TOR), please follow link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/180nQXdpSt2ss09980MZKPVJs8ur66Uvh/view Background Lebanon is experiencing a constantly evolving multi-layered crisis which is exacerbating long-term structural vulnerabilities and inequalities, leading to acute and increasingly visible humanitarian needs among the most vulnerable populations. Lebanon continues to face a protracted economic and financial crisis, which has been compounded by the aftershocks of conflict in late 2024, further undermining the food security of Lebanese residents and refugee populations. While hyperinflation has softened from its previous peaks, persistently high food prices remain a primary driver of food insecurity. As of September 2025, the year-on-year food inflation rate stood at 23.9%. Along with inflation, currency depreciation, income losses, damaged infrastructure, and significant cuts to humanitarian food assistance continue to negatively impact the capacity of different population groups to access food. According to the latest Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, it was projected that between July and October 2025, about 1.24 million people (including Lebanese, Syrian refugees, and Palestine refugees) would face acute food insecurity and be classified in IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse). This corresponds to 23% of the analyzed population, an increase from the 19% recorded in the October 2023 March 2024 period. This crisis has disproportionately affected the agricultural sector, exposing a systemic vulnerability: Lebanon's critical over-reliance on expensive, imported agricultural inputs, especially wheat seeds. This import dependency strains national food security, reduces farmer resilience, and hinders access to locally adapted, high-yield seed varieties. The Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI), the public institution mandated to produce certified seeds, is a critical national asset for food sovereignty. However, its national seed program has stalled due to a lack of public financing, creating a critical gap in the domestic food system. Within the framework of the Food Security Project, UNDP aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) to enhance its operational efficiency, management systems, and service delivery. Under the overall guidance and direct supervision of the Project Manager (Food Security), the Agricultural consultant, will be primarily responsible for planning, implementing, monitoring, supervising and coordinating field level activities related to the multiplication of certified wheat. The TFA is also expected to establish strong coordination mechanisms as well as linkages between stakeholders and beneficiaries to ensure that program activities and projects are implemented successfully. Scope of work, responsibilities and description of the proposed analytical work Under the direct supervision of the Project Manager (Food Security), the national consultant will perform the following functions: • In close coordination with the designated LARI centers' directors and contractors, oversee the procurement and distribution of the specific equipment and machinery needed for the proper implementation of the seed multiplication program; • Follow-up with key stakeholders and contractors on all activities related to the rehabilitation of LARI s infrastructure including but not limited to irrigation systems, solar energy component, lab equipment provision, greenhouses rehabilitation, silosconstruction, etc...). • Monitor and coordinate with key stakeholders and partners the initiation of all activities related to the consecutive growing seasons (such as land plowing and reclamation, sowing of seeds, irrigation, regular cultural activities, etc.) in a timely manner; • Maintain close coordination with implementing partners for all activities supporting MSMEs, cooperatives, start-ups, and farmers; • Provide assistance contractor working on the value chain assessment. • Support and monitor grant and in-kind assistance to various beneficiaries; • Conduct regular field visits to assess and monitor the progress of wheat production at different LARI centers and specialized farmers level to provide technical assistance on good agricultural practices, as well as on risk mitigation and overcoming any challenges they might face during the production seasons; • Support the development and maintenance of collaborative relations with all relevant partners such as the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), among others; • Submit regular reports on the progress achieved in the implementation of various activities in a timely manner; • Actively participate in all meetings, workshops, conferences related to the project; • Support M&amp;E requirements, by keeping accurate records and archives of all projects/activities, including financial records, data, photos, reports, correspondence and minutes with respective partners.

A report on proof of concept demonstrating the implementation of the framework, including codes and operational commands.<br> Work Location<br>Remotely<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Arab States are among the most water scarce in the world, with 19 States out of 22 below the water scarcity threshold including 13 States below the absolute water scarcity threshold. Freshwater scarcity is aggravated by several factors, including dependency on transboundary water resources, pollution, climate change, non-revenue water losses, inefficient use, increasing demand, insufficient investment, and damage to infrastructure due to conflict. Water scarcity is a significant challenge for sustainable development, as it directly affects the ability to ensure access to water and sanitation for all, while also having important implications for energy and food security, economic development, as well as urban and rural livelihoods. Water security challenges caused by water scarcity also require national and regional security considerations and transboundary water cooperation to achieve global goals. Sustainable groundwater management in the Arab region is central to water security. Groundwater accounts for half of the freshwater needs in Arab States, be it for agriculture, industry, energy or domestic use. The reliance on groundwater is increasing as surface waters become more scarce, polluted and costly to capture in face of climate change impacts and increasing demand. Although groundwater resources in the Arab region are critical for water security, relevant data and information remains limited and inaccessible. ESCWA established the Arab Groundwater Knowledge Platform as a regional knowledge hub to avail geospatial resources and information regarding this critical resource. Lebanon similarly is becoming more and more reliant on groundwater resources with some aquifers already being depleted by over pumping by private wells or being affected by seawater intrusion. Data on groundwater is either unavailable or inaccessible or greatly dispersed across several private and public entities. The Ministry of Energy and Water, the main custodian for groundwater, has a great need to update its groundwater database and develop geospatial analytical capacities of staff to better monitor groundwater resources, support groundwater wells licensing and inform management of the resources. The consultant is intended to support ongoing work to utilize geospatial information system (GIS) technologies for the review, digitization, classification and analysis of maps related to groundwater resources to facilitate analysis for informed decision-making. Duties and Responsibilities • Support update of an interactive WebGIS dashboard and integrate additional monitoring, climate and remote sensing datasets into the platform; • Develop a draft framework for well permitting decision making based on specialized codes that operationalize collected data and information combined with regulatory criteria; • Develop full hydrogeological factsheets for selected national priority national aquifers supported by data and information from platform.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A first-level university degree in geoscience, hydrogeology or related field is required.

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.</p> <p>Objective</p> <p>To prepare an analytical paper on food systems across Arab States that elaborates on current conditions and offers insights on potential future developments.
