<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> <span>Aspire Software is looking for a Risk &amp; Underwriting Analyst 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> Role Overview We are looking for a Risk &amp; Underwriting Analyst to sit inside our Risk &amp; Underwriting team and take real ownership of the work that keeps merchants out of trouble.<br> You will own the chargeback function end to end.<br> That is the anchor of the job — but it is not the whole job, and we are not hiring a chargeback analyst who might one day help with other things.<br> Underwriting is the second half of this role, not a stretch goal: you will work the underwriting and boarding pipeline with the Lead from day one, and we expect you to be carrying real weight on it.<br> Alongside both, you will keep eyes on risk and transaction monitoring, and you will be the person who notices when a pattern stops looking normal.<br> Around all of that, you will spend a good part of your week talking to people: Support, Operations, Finance, Partnerships, Product — and, just as often, merchants and partners directly.<br> This is a role with a lot of surface area and very little sitting still.<br> Priorities move, deadlines belong to the card networks rather than to us, and the interesting problems rarely arrive labelled.<br> If that sounds like your kind of day, keep reading.<br> What you'll own Chargebacks &amp; disputes — your function Own the chargeback lifecycle end to end: intake from the networks, merchant notification, evidence gathering, representment, pre-arbitration and arbitration decisions.<br> Build and defend the case.<br> Assemble compelling evidence, write representments that actually win, and know when a dispute is worth fighting versus when accepting it is the commercially smarter call.<br> Manage the chargebacks inbox and dispute queues to SLA — network deadlines are not negotiable and neither are ours.<br> Coach merchants and partners: explain reason codes in plain language, tell them what evidence you need and why, and help the repeat offenders fix the root cause rather than re-fighting the same dispute every month.<br> Track and report the numbers that matter — chargeback ratios, win rates, ageing, loss exposure, top reason codes, worst-performing MIDs — and flag accounts drifting toward network monitoring programmes before they get there.<br> Improve the machinery.<br> Templates, macros, portal workflows, evidence checklists, automation, knowledge- base articles: leave the function better organised than you found it.<br> Underwriting &amp; merchant boarding — the other half of the job Work the underwriting cycle with the Lead and carry your own share of the file: application review, KYC/KYB and document verification, business model and website review, sanctions and adverse media checks.<br> Assess risk on new and existing merchants — industry, ownership, processing history, delivery model, refund and chargeback exposure — and put forward a reasoned recommendation on approval, limits, reserves and conditions.<br> Your view is expected to be part of the decision, not a summary of somebody else’s.<br> Own the boarding pipeline day to day: keep applications moving, chase missing documents, unblock stuck files, resolve boarding errors, and keep merchants and partners informed the whole way through.<br> Run periodic reviews, re-underwriting and account changes as merchants grow, pivot, or start selling something they were never approved for.<br> Grow into the deeper end of it.<br> As you build the reps, take on more of the underwriting book independently — this role is meant to widen, not stay still.<br> Risk &amp; transaction monitoring Monitor transaction activity and alert queues for fraud, laundering, collusion, card testing, velocity spikes, and merchants processing outside what they were approved for.<br> Investigate and resolve alerts with a clear written rationale, and escalate the ones that deserve escalation quickly and unambiguously.<br> Recommend and action risk decisions: holds, reserves, payout blocks, limit changes, offboarding — and communicate them to the merchant with a straight face and a clear explanation.<br> Feed what you learn back into the rules.<br> If a pattern beat us once, help make sure it does not beat us twice.<br> Compliance &amp; the rulebook — a bonus if you bring it Work within card scheme rules (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and network dispute and monitoring programmes.<br> If you already know this rulebook, you will use it here; if you do not, you will learn it on the job.<br> Support PCI DSS compliance across our merchant base — SAQ progress, validation status, non-compliance follow-up — and help merchants get through it without losing them in the jargon.<br> Keep records that hold up: clean audit trails, documented decisions, and evidence that stands on its own six months later.<br> Working across the business Be the reliable risk counterpart for Support, Operations, Finance, Partnerships and Product — the person other teams are glad to see in the thread.<br> Handle external conversations with merchants, partners, and processing and acquiring counterparts with equal comfort — including the conversations nobody enjoys having.<br> Turn what you learn into something reusable: internal SOPs, merchant-facing guides, training for frontline teams.<br> A risk operator.<br> Somebody who has done this work, not only read about it, and who is comfortable being the owner of an answer rather than the router of a question.<br> We would take a candidate who understands the function cold and adapts fast over one who knows every tool on this page but is slow to move.<br> 3+ years of hands-on experience in payments risk, disputes, fraud, or merchant underwriting — at a PSP, acquirer, processor, fintech, or a merchant with real card volume.<br> Direct, working chargeback knowledge.<br> You have handled disputes yourself, know your way around reason codes, representment evidence and network timelines, and can explain a pre-arb without looking it up.<br> This one is the non-negotiable.<br> A real appetite for underwriting.<br> Exposure to underwriting, KYB/KYC or merchant boarding — enough to know what a file looks like and what makes one risky.<br> We will build on whatever base you have, but you need to want this half of the job, not tolerate it.<br> A feel for monitoring.<br> You have looked at transaction activity or alert queues before and can tell a busy day from a bad one.<br> Sound risk judgement.<br> You can weigh commercial reality against exposure, make a call with incomplete information, and write down why you made it.<br> Quick on your feet.<br> You re-prioritise without drama, pick up unfamiliar tools and rules quickly, and stay accurate when several things land at once.<br> Genuinely good with people.<br> Clear written English, a calm and direct manner with merchants and partners, and the instinct to pick up the phone when a thread is going nowhere.<br> French. A good part of our merchant and partner base works in French — being able to handle those conversations properly matters to us.<br> Comfortable with data.<br> Confident in spreadsheets and dashboards; able to pull a number, sanity-check it, and notice when it looks wrong.<br> Ownership by default.<br> You close loops, you follow up, and you tell people where things stand before they have to ask.<br> Nice to have — genuinely optional, and happily taught Working knowledge of card scheme regulations and network monitoring programmes (VDMP/VFMP, Mastercard ECM/EFM and their successors).<br> PCI DSS and SAQ familiarity, or experience running a merchant compliance programme.<br> Wider regulatory or AML/CTF exposure in a payments context.<br> Experience with a major processor or acquirer platform, dispute managers, or fraud and monitoring tooling.<br> SQL or similar for pulling your own data.<br> Why this role is worth your time A function you actually own, with your name on it, from week one — and a second discipline to grow into right beside it.<br> A direct line to the Risk &amp; Underwriting Lead — real mentorship on underwriting, not a dotted line on an org chart.<br> Breadth most risk roles do not offer: disputes, underwriting, monitoring and compliance in the same job, at a company small enough that you see all of it.<br> Visible work.<br> Risk decisions here reach merchants, partners and the leadership team, quickly.<br> Room to grow into the deeper end of underwriting, risk strategy or compliance as the team scales.<br></span> </div>

<p><h4>About Lucidya</h4> <p>Lucidya is an AI-native platform for customer experience (CX) intelligence that helps organizations understand their customers and take action across the entire customer lifecycle.</p> <p>Our platform brings together products including Social Listening, OmniServe, Survey, and AI Agent, helping enterprise organizations across the region turn customer data into better experiences and measurable business outcomes.</p> <p>As we continue to scale our products, customers, and AI capabilities, the amount of data we generate is growing rapidly. The opportunity is no longer simply to report on what happened - it's to understand why it happened, what it means, and what we should do next.</p> <h4>Why this role matters</h4> <p>We're looking for a Senior Product Analyst who can help make data a genuine part of how Product operates.</p> <p>This isn't a role where you'll wait for a Product Manager to ask for a dashboard or pull a report after a decision has already been made. You'll be expected to get close to the product, understand how customers actually use it, spot patterns others may have missed, and bring insights to the table before someone asks for them.</p> <p>You'll operate at two levels.</p> <p>At the product and feature level, you'll help teams understand whether customers are discovering, adopting, engaging with, and getting value from what we're building. You'll identify friction, investigate unexpected behaviour, evaluate experiments, and help teams decide what to improve, scale, reposition, or stop.</p> <p>At the leadership level, you'll connect those individual product signals to the bigger picture - helping leadership understand product performance, emerging opportunities, risks, and where we should invest next.</p> <p>The strongest person in this role will be able to move comfortably between a SQL query, a conversation with a Product Manager, and a leadership presentation - and translate the same data into something meaningful for each audience.</p> <h4>What you'll do</h4> <ul> <li>Turn product data into decisions. You'll go beyond reporting what happened to understand why it happened, what it means, and what Product should do differently as a result.</li> <li>Help teams define what success actually means. You'll work with Product Managers and other stakeholders to establish meaningful KPIs, success metrics, and measurement plans before features and initiatives are launched.</li> <li>Understand how customers use our products. You'll analyse journeys, funnels, cohorts, adoption, engagement, retention, churn, and behavioural patterns to identify where customers are succeeding and where they're getting stuck.</li> <li>Evaluate whether our products are delivering value. You'll assess feature performance and help teams make evidence-based decisions about whether to improve, scale, reposition, or discontinue initiatives.</li> <li>Bring insights into product discovery. You'll use quantitative evidence alongside customer, product, and market context to help teams understand which problems are worth solving and where the biggest opportunities exist.</li> <li>Challenge assumptions with evidence. When a team believes a feature is working, adoption is strong, or customers are behaving a certain way, you'll be comfortable asking, “What does the data actually tell us?” — constructively and without creating friction.</li> <li>Identify opportunities before you're asked. You won't wait for a stakeholder to request a report. You'll proactively investigate anomalies, emerging trends, underperforming areas, and changes in customer behaviour and bring forward the ones that matter.</li> <li>Support experimentation. You'll help teams define hypotheses, success criteria, and measurement approaches, then analyse experiments and A/B tests to determine what the evidence tells us.</li> <li>Make complex analysis easy to understand. You'll turn large datasets and complicated analysis into clear stories, visualisations, recommendations, and decisions that make sense to both technical and non-technical audiences.</li> <li>Give leadership a clear view of product performance. You'll create reporting that connects detailed product and feature performance to broader business objectives, highlighting progress, drivers, risks, and recommended actions rather than simply presenting numbers.</li> <li>Help Product become more self-sufficient with data. You'll build repeatable analytical frameworks, dashboards, documentation, and self-service resources so teams don't need to come to you for every question.</li> <li>Raise data literacy across Product. You'll coach Product Managers on metrics, analysis, and interpretation, and use workshops, office hours, and day-to-day collaboration to make better use of data part of how the team works.</li> <li>Build trust across teams. You'll work closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and business stakeholders and influence decisions without relying on formal authority.</li> </ul> <h4>What success looks like</h4> <p>In your first 3-6 months, you'll be building trust. Product teams know you as someone who understands the product, asks the right questions, and brings useful insights rather than simply producing reports.</p> <p>As you establish yourself, you'll start changing how decisions are made. Product Managers are defining meaningful success metrics earlier, teams are using evidence to evaluate their decisions, and you're proactively surfacing opportunities and risks rather than responding to reporting requests.</p> <p>Ultimately, success means Product becomes more intelligent. Leadership has a clear view of what's driving product performance, teams understand why customers behave the way they do, and decisions about priorities and investment are increasingly based on evidence rather than assumptions.</p> <p>The shift we're looking for is simple:</p> <p>From “What happened?” ? “Why did it happen?” ? “What should we do about it?”</p> <h4>Requirements</h4> <h4>Who you are</h4> <ul> <li>You're naturally curious. When you see an unexpected number, you don't just add it to a report — you want to know what's behind it.</li> <li>You think commercially, not just analytically. You understand that an interesting insight isn't necessarily a useful one. You can connect product behaviour to customer value, business performance, and investment decisions.</li> <li>You don't need to be given the question. You're comfortable starting with an ambiguous problem, figuring out what needs to be understood, and determining what analysis will actually help answer it.</li> <li>You can zoom in and out. You can spend time investigating why a particular feature's adoption dropped while still understanding how that finding connects to the wider product strategy.</li> <li>You're willing to challenge people. You don't simply validate what a stakeholder already believes. You're comfortable presenting evidence that contradicts an assumption, while doing so in a way that builds trust rather than defensiveness.</li> <li>You know that being right isn't enough. Your analysis only creates value if people understand it and act on it. You can turn complex findings into a simple story and a clear recommendation.</li> <li>You're a strong communicator. You can explain an analytical finding to a Product Manager, work through the technical detail with an Engineer, and present the business implication to leadership.</li> <li>You're proactive and self-directed. You don't wait for a ticket to appear in your queue. You notice something worth investigating and take ownership of finding out what it means.</li> <li>You're comfortable with ambiguity and a changing environment. Not every question will have a clean dataset or obvious answer. You know how to work with imperfect information while being transparent about its limitations.</li> <li>You have 4+ years of experience in product analytics, digital analytics, business intelligence, or a closely related field, with experience working directly with digital Product teams.</li> <li>You're technically strong. You can independently use SQL to explore and analyse large datasets and are comfortable working with product analytics or business intelligence platforms such as Mixpanel, Heap, Pendo, Metabase, Amplitude, Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools.</li> <li>You understand product metrics deeply, including funnels, journeys, cohorts, retention, engagement, adoption, churn, and customer behaviour.</li> <li>You can translate ambiguous business questions into structured analysis and understand the difference between finding a correlation and understanding what it actually means.</li> <li>You're comfortable working remotely and can communicate effectively across teams without relying on being in the same room.</li> <li>You have professional working proficiency in English.</li> </ul> <h4>Nice to have</h4> <ul> <li>Experience designing or evaluating A/B tests and experiments.</li> <li>Experience with statistical analysis.</li> <li>Familiarity with modern data stacks, data warehouses, transformation tools, event tracking, analytics instrumentation, or data governance.</li> <li>Experience building or improving a product analytics function or data culture.</li> <li>Experience presenting product recommendations to senior leadership.</li> <li>Working knowledge of Python or R.</li> <li>Experience working with B2B SaaS, enterprise products, AI products, or complex data-driven platforms.</li> </ul> <h4>What the hiring process will look like</h4> <ul> <li>Recruiter screening — An initial conversation about your experience, motivations, and what you're looking for next.</li> <li>Analytics interview — A deeper discussion around your product analytics experience, technical capability, and how you approach ambiguous analytical problems.</li> <li>Case study / analytical exercise — You'll be given a product or business problem and asked to analyse the available information, identify the key insights, and explain what you would recommend.</li> <li>Presentation interview — You'll meet Product and/or business stakeholders to explore how you communicate insights, challenge assumptions, and influence decisions based on the case study.</li> <li>Leadership / culture interview — A final conversation focused on how you operate, collaborate, handle ambiguity, and contribute to a high-performing team.</li> </ul></p><p></p>

The agility of this revolution makes the jobs of the future difficult to predict using traditional techniques. Given this background, this project will tackle three main issues: o The lack of timely information to monitor the dynamism of the labor market needs; o The mismatch between human capital accumulation and labor market demand; o Labor market policies and regulations are mostly outdated and unprepared for the impact of automation on jobs in most ESCWA countries. Almost all countries in the region are still heavily reliant on costly household/establishment survey data which is not carried out periodically. To assess job market policies, skill sets for newly created job categories that are and will continue to come about from the Fourth Industrial Revolution must be surveyed in a more innovative way. Without a new monitoring technique, information on the impact of technological change on available skill sets cannot be properly assessed. One finding that we can build on conventional survey (household establishment) results is that workers with higher educational attainment are expected to benefit the most from jobs in the formal sector if high-quality education is made available and better job market matching schemes are put in place. Looking at the ESCWA region, educational attainment over the past three decades, during which the region excelled in primary and secondary education (mid-skills), suggests that the population does not necessarily have adequate skills for newly created jobs. Also, in the absence of up-to-date and active labor market policies, the mismatch between market demand (especially in the formal sector) and education is translated into higher informal sector activities in most ESCWA countries. This project is expected to provide a forum for ESCWA countries to prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIR) while factoring in the number of jobs needed between now and the attainment of the 2030 Agenda. The key aim is to support ESCWA States for the upcoming change in jobs TOR: and skills due to technological advancements taking place while considering the national characteristics. Ultimately, we will help member states harness job opportunities emerging from the advent of newer technologies, while taming challenges to attain outcomes stated in SDG- 8---support member states sustain economic growth (8.1), reach high levels of economic productivity (8.2), promote productive activities (8.3), attain full productive employment and decent work for all (8.5) and reduce the number of youth not in employment, education or training (8.6).

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant will deliver 3 key outputs in a timely manner: • Deliverable 1: By 10 September 2026, completion of the conceptual and analytical framework on regional connectivity and prosperity including detail theoretical foundations, methodological validation of the index, its components, and indicators framework (part 1). • Deliverable 2: By 30 October 2026, completion of the full draft with part 2 including the results of the index and the component indices, policy implications and recommendations. • Deliverable 3: By 30 November 2026, finalization of the full paper by refining results, taking into account review comments, and including complete methodological documentation.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Strengthening regional connectivity is increasingly being discussed among policy makers as a strategic pathway for enhancing resilience, accelerating economic integration and unlocking the development potential of the Arab region. The level of regional connectivity depends not only on infrastructure and cross-border flows, but also on the region's strategic assets, investment and financing ecosystems, and institutional readiness. The Arab region possesses substantial strategic assets , including natural (i.e., oil and gas reserves), physical (i.e., ports and maritime infrastructure), human (i.e., population and skill), financial (i.e., SWFs and capital markets), technological (i.e., AI and digital) and cultural (i.e., shared language, heritage sites). Yet these assets have not always translated into stronger regional connectivity. Understanding the factors that enable or constrain this transformation is therefore essential for designing effective regional policies and investment strategies. Although several international indices measure specific dimensions of connectivity—such as logistics, maritime transport, innovation or digital readiness—none provides an integrated assessment of regional connectivity by linking connectivity outcomes with the strategic assets, investment ecosystems and institutional conditions that underpin them. Nor do they examine how these factors collectively contribute to long-term regional prosperity. To address this gap, ESCWA proposes the Arab Regional Connectivity and Prosperity Framework (ARCPF). The Framework provides an integrated analytical approach for assessing regional connectivity and its key enablers and constraints to unlock the Arab region's prosperity potential. It examines how strategic regional assets, investment and financing ecosystems, and institutional readiness collectively shape regional connectivity, and how stronger connectivity contributes to greater resilience, deeper regional integration, and higher shared prosperity. Duties and Responsibilities The consultancy is related to producing a comprehensive technical paper on the theme of regional connectivity and prosperity with two parts: (a) a conceptual framework with theoretical foundations, methodological validation of the index, its components, and indicators framework; (b) the empirical analysis for the region with reference to other global regions, based on the results of the index and the component indices, policy implications and recommendations. Under the overall guidance of ESCWA, the consultant will undertake the following tasks: • Develop and refine the conceptual framework for the Regional Connectivity and Prosperity Index, building on ESCWA's initial proposal and strengthening it through international literature, economic theory, empirical evidence and international best practice. The framework should clearly define the terminologies, the component indices and their linkages, and realistic data availability for a robust basis for the index. • Design an internationally credible methodological framework including indicator selection, normalization, weighting, aggregation, sensitivity analysis and validation approaches. Provide the documentation to ensure transparency, reproducibility and future updating of the framework. • Develop and empirically validate an analytical model that examines the relationships between regional connectivity, strategic assets (including culture), investments, institutional readiness, and prosperity. Assess the relative contribution of each component within and across the components, identify major connectivity gaps, and analyse trends over time to support evidence-based policy recommendations. • Analyze and interpret the regional results by referencing them against other global regions, derive findings and policy implications for strengthening connectivity and prosperity in the Arab region context. • Assess the availability, quality, comparability and limitations of the underlying datasets, identify data gaps and propose practical approaches for addressing missing or inconsistent data. • Provide continuous technical guidance to the ESCWA team throughout the development process, including methodological choices, data compilation, validation, analytical interpretation and presentation of findings. • Participate in expert consultations and focus group discussions, respond to technical comments, incorporate relevant feedback from ESCWA and external experts, and document major methodological decisions made throughout the review process.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A PhD in economics or related field is required. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

The content of all outputs shall remain the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background The Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) launched the Advancing Digital Cooperation and Development – Arab States Action Programme (ADCD-ASAP) in 2020 to support Arab countries in harnessing digital technologies for sustainable development and accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The programme aims, among others, to strengthen regional and national digital policy frameworks, promote digital cooperation, and support evidence-based digital development strategies across the Arab region. Within this framework, and under the auspices of the Arab Telecom and Information Technology Council of Ministers (ATICM), and its resolution in December 2020, ESCWA and the League of Arab States (LAS) jointly established a joint project to Develop, Deploy and Constantly Upgrade the Arab ICT Strategy for the region, in the form of an Arab Digital Agenda as strategic living instrument for 10 years. The ADA is not an outcome, it is a journey of constant growth that is meant to cope with any future developments in the technology and related policies; to induce action at different fronts in all facets of technology, through it mechanism and through partnerships with UN bodies and Arab bodies; and to advance progress at member states level that can be measured and monitored. Accordingly, ESCWA and LAS worked with Member States, to co-develop, the Arab Digital Agenda/ICT Strategy (ADA 1.0 / ADAICTS), which serves as a regional strategic vision, compass and action-framework guiding Arab digital development efforts and supporting national digital development agendas, in all digital development areas. The process of co-developing by ESCWA and Member States of the first edition of the ADA took place during 2021-2022, through successive iterations and engagements, with Member States (through the ADA’s Core Research and Technical Cooperation Mechanism (CRTCM), the ADA’s Joint Technical Committee (JTC), the LAS Arab Working Group on Arab ICT Strategy, the LAS Arab Permanent Committee on ICTs, the LAS Arab Executive Bureau all the way up to the Council of Minsters; leading to the adoption of the final version of the 1st edition of the Arab Digital Agenda 2023-2033, by the ATICM on 23 January 2023 and by Arab ECOSOC in 9 February 2023, and by heads of States in 19 May 2023; with the promise of supporting its deployment and the expectation of constant update of the agenda and constant monitoring of member states progress in achieving its goals and targets using the agreed-upon instruments. The first milestone for all of the above will be towards the end of 2027. Overall Timeframes, Milestone and Nature of ADA 2.0 Building on the above, and under the umbrella of the ATICM, ESCWA and LAS are launching the process of co-developing with Member States the Second Edition of the Arab Digital Agenda (ADA 2.0); which is planned to be co-produced during the period of 2026-2027, with a target goal of adopting the second edition of the Arab Digital Agenda in its final form during the ATICM meeting of December 2027/January 2028. Accordingly, and based on the established work modalities, the first version of ADA 2.0 will need to be presented to the ATICM meeting scheduled for December 2026/January 2027. Towards this end, ESCWA is managing, during the second half of 2026, the first phase of ADA 2.0 sub-project to prepare for submitting the first version of the ADA2.0 to the respective LAS Arab Working Group on Arab ICT Strategy that is scheduled to be convened during November/December 2026, and subsequently to the LAS Arab Permanent Committee on ICTs, the LAS Arab Executive Bureau all the way up to the Council of Ministers during December 2026/January 2027. The envisaged ADA2.0 - as a comprehensive regional strategic framework and policy blueprint for digital development in the Arab region over the coming decade, aligned with international and regional digital cooperation priorities - is scheduled for the end of 2027 is planned to have two perspectives: 1-First, looking backward As part of its monitoring role, ADA2.0 will result a report on the progress of member countries in achieving the goals and targets of the ADA during the period between December 2022 and December 2027, namely the “Provisional Progress Report”,, marking the progress in the elapsing five years on the basic scope of ADA1.0, and will be finalized by the end of December 2027. As such, the work during 2026 along this perspective is specifically planned to result in a provisional version of this progress report (in four years only). During 2027, it will be updated in terms of value to reflect the five years; and more importantly, it will also be radically expanded in terms of scope during 2027, as per the second perspective below, producing the first baseline for the expanded scope. Hence, work on this perspective during the second half of 2026 is expected to produce around one third of the final report planned for end of 2027. The rest will be during 2027 benefiting from feedback from the Ministerial Council meeting of December 2026/January 2027. The work on this perspective will be supported by the ongoing third round of the National Digital Development Reviews (NDDRs 3.0), which will be reflected in the the Arab Digital Development Report (ADDR 3.0) that will accompany the ADA2.0 as it accompaniment flagship by the end of 2027. 2-Second, looking forward As part of its future orientation, strategizing and constant update role, ADA2.0 will: a. adapt to be in synch with the latest global mandates inscribed in the latest UNGA Resolution 80/173 of December 2025, and the preceding Global Digital Compact 2024. b. introduce an updated architecture for the basic scope of ADA 1.0 - defined by the 85 Goals, the 69 Targets and the 85 indicators (defined in the first edition of the ADA) c. expand the scope of the original ADA framework to address frontier, emerging and strategic policy areas shaping digital development globally and regionally. ADA2.0 will specifically witness an expanded scope that contains new thematic dimensions and indicators related to: • Artificial Intelligence (AI); • Emerging technologies; • Peaceful uses of outer space and geospatial technologies; • Environmental sustainability and green digital transformation; • Digital postal services and postal sector transformation. d. introduce a new architecture defining the goals and targets of the expanded scope in terms of additional Goals, Targets and indicators (in addition to the existing basic scope defined by the existing five-cluster ESCWA conceptual framework for digital development, which stands as the DNA of the whole process). These updates and expansions are based on the updated Guiding Manuals (GM 2.5)/(GM 3.0), as the common methodological framework underpinning the NDDRs, ADDR and ADA processes; and the Digital Development- Measurement and Monitoring Model (DD-MMM 1.5)/(DD-MMM 2.0), as the common framework for measurement, monitoring and assessment of digital development progress. The associated ESCWA newly produced addendums, developed by ESCWA in consultation with member countries and regional stakeholders during 2025-2026, are currently guiding the process of digital development reviews at national and regional levels during 2026-2027 and are considered an integral part of the envisaged ADA2.0. Hence, the work during 2026 along this perspective is specifically planned to result in a provisional version of the proposed new architecture to member countries, namely the “Provisional Proposed Architecture”, regarding the following aspects that will need to be worked on during 2027:  the new architecture of the expanded scope and the newly introduced addendums, in terms of Goals, Targets and Indicators;  the positioning of the new architecture of the addendums, vis-à-vis the existing architecture of the basic scope.  the sustainability of the Digital Development indicators observatories at the national level.  the periodicity of the next milestones for monitoring progress.  advancing partnerships and alliances between ADA and the partners of various thematic subprogrammes. Hence, work on this perspective during the second half of 2026 is expected to produce around one third of the final version of ADA 2.0 planned for end of 2027. The rest will be during 2027 benefiting from feedback from the Ministerial Council meeting of December 2026/January 2027. Purpose and Objectives of this assignment In summary, the consultancy subject to this assignment aims to support ESCWA and LAS in producing the first version of ADA 2.0, within the following contexts: • The NDDRs 3.0, ADDR 3.0 and ADA 2.0 processes constitute three interlinked components of a single regional policy cycle. o NDDRs 3.0 provides the national evidence base, o ADDR 3.0 provides the regional analytical synthesis, and o ADA 2.0 translates these findings into a regional strategic framework and implementation roadmap for digital development and digital cooperation in the Arab region. • This process is further anchored in United Nations General Assembly resolution 80/173 on the WSIS+20 review, which reaffirms the role of the United Nations regional commissions as regional mechanisms for implementation and follow-up of WSIS outcomes and calls for scaling up policy guidance, technical assistance, capacity-building and partnerships in support of digital development. • ADA 2.0 constitutes the regional strategic policy framework through which Arab countries will operationalize regional commitments related to WSIS+20, the Global Digital Compact, the Pact for the Future, Arab Vision 2045 and the Arab Digital Agenda 2023–2033, while contributing to the implementation of Arab Vision 2045 through digital development, digital cooperation and digital transformation pathways.

Arab women still lag behind in terms of political participation, labour force participation, equality and sex-based discrimination. In 2025, women’s labour force participation was 19 per cent in the Arab States, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide. Various factors can be attributed to the low economic participation of women in the Arab region, most important of which are the high involvement of women in unpaid care work and their weak involvement in entrepreneurship. In the Arab States, women carry out 80 to 90 percent of all unpaid care tasks and spend an average of 4.7 times more time than men on unpaid care tasks. If women continue to bear the brunt of unpaid care work, there is a serious risk that gender gaps widen and hard-won achievements in women’s socioeconomic empowerment are reversed. Addressing the available policies and legal frameworks is thus crucial to promote women’s economic empowerment in the region and build the resilience of women to future shocks. ESCWA supports its member States in promoting gender equality and the advancement of women at the legislative, policy and programmatic levels through the translation of global normative frameworks into region-specific actions within the areas of gender justice and the law, women, peace and security, women economic empowerment, care economy, and gender mainstreaming in national institutions. ESCWA supports member States in their efforts to reform care-related policies and develop new ones to promote women’s economic empowerment. Within the care economy workstream, ESCWA is currently working with Lebanon, Oman, Morocco and Tunisia, following an approach comprising the preparation of knowledge products and organization of capacity building workshops. ESCWA also supports several countries including Iraq, Lebanon, Mauritania and Morocco to strengthen gender mainstreaming in national institutions. Furthermore, ESCWA develops training packages and contributes to capacity-building efforts to transform knowledge, good practices and related skills into innovative online and in-person awareness-raising sessions and training programmes to support countries in developing national strategies, policies and action plans relevant to implementing and reviewing global commitments, including those under CEDAW and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to provide input and contributions to support the successful completion of several gender equality related outputs including: • National case studies mainly on unpaid care work and care economy; • National technical requests related to the advancement of gender equality; • National dialogues and meetings as well as capacity building workshops targeting various governmental entities in Arab States to support the reforms and development of policies; • Papers and knowledge products to explore concepts related to women’s economic empowerment in the region, gendered perspectives in recovery and reconstruction, and other women and gender-related concepts; • Regional meetings, consultations, and capacity building workshops to exchange experience and knowledge, disseminate the results and findings of prepared knowledge products and advocate for needed legal and policy reforms. Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: - Desk review: Undertake necessary research and desk reviews on topics related to gender equality and women empowerment as required for the development and finalization of the gender equality related outputs; - Prepare necessary data collection tools including questionnaires for surveys and guides for interviews and focus groups; - Undertake analysis of data and other inputs; - Draft inputs following the set outlines for various outputs; - Prepare required inputs for the preparation and organization of meetings with relevant stakeholders.
