GENERAL SCOPE The rapid expansion of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public institutions has fundamentally transformed how governments generate, store, and disseminate information. This transformation has reinforced the importance of robust legal frameworks governing access to information, such as transparency, accountability, and the free flow of information are essential foundations for democratic governance, sustainable development, and public trust. In the Arab region, several countries have made progress in adopting access to information laws; however, implementation gaps and evolving digital governance practices continue to pose challenges to the effective realization of the right of access to information. At the same time, the increasing digitization of public services, the use of digital platforms, and the management of large volumes of data by public authorities require access to information legislation that is aligned with international standards and responsive to contemporary administrative and technological realities. Well-designed ATI laws not only safeguard the public’s right to know but also provide clear obligations for public authorities, define permissible limitations, and establish effective oversight and appeal mechanisms. At the global level, the UN actively promotes transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability as core principles of good governance and sustainable development. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future during the Summit of the Future, together with its annexes, including the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC underscores the importance of open, transparent, and accountable digital governance and highlights access to information as a key enabler of trust in public institutions and meaningful participation in public life, including in digital environments. The UN-ESCWA has a long-standing mandate in supporting its member States in strengthening governance frameworks, including legal and institutional reforms related to transparency, access to information, and the responsible use of digital technologies. Through its technical cooperation program, UN-ESCWA continues to support member States in enhancing their capacities to design, implement, and enforce access to information laws, including the development of implementing regulations, institutional arrangements, and mechanisms for oversight and redress. In this context, the Ministry of Telecom and Information Tech (MTIT) – Yemen requested UN-ESCWA technical assistance to develop national ATI law in Yemen. In response, ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant with specialized expertise in access to information law to provide advisory services tailored to the national context, to be aligned with international and regional best practices. 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 scope of work, responsibilities, and expected deliverables of the consultancy are set out in these Terms of Reference. III.

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.

The content of the generated document shall be the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>16 weeks<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>I. 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. Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Draft a suggested guidebook in a clear and straightforward style, based on the needs, the gap analysis, international and regional best practices, and the SWOT analysis. The guidebook’s content will be based on the basic personal data protection principles and will ensure that these concepts are understood at national level. 6. Ensure that the guidebook gives clear examples for each concept are mentioned to improve understanding and practical application. In addition, the consultant would also ensure the following activities: (1) Contribute to national workshop (physically) and capture the main comments of the discussions. (2) Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and MoDEE teams, and by stakeholders during the consultation process. ESCWA promotes gender equality and integration of youth through its publications and therefore the consultant should pay attention, with the help of ESCWA staff, to gender considerations and youth dimension throughout the research work to ensure that the report gives equal attention to the needs of both men and women, as well as girls and boys.

GENERAL SCOPE The widespread adoption of information and communications technologies (ICTs) across public and private institutions has made the establishment of comprehensive cyber and data related legislation imperative. In the Arab region, many countries have made progress in developing cyber laws; however, the rapid evolution of digital services—such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), platform economies, and cross border data flows—continues to outpace existing legal frameworks. To fully harness the benefits of digital transformation while addressing risks related to privacy, security, and misuse of data, Arab countries are encouraged to develop and modernize their legislative frameworks to meet the demands of the digital age. At the global level, the UN promotes responsible, inclusive, and trustworthy use of digital and emerging technologies in support of sustainable development. In September 2024, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future during the Summit of the Future, together with its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and the Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC places strong emphasis on digital trust, effective digital governance, and the protection of human rights in the digital environment. Central to these objectives is the protection of personal data, which the GDC recognizes as a cornerstone of trust in digital systems and a prerequisite for people’s safe and meaningful participation in the digital economy. The UN ESCWA has a long standing role in supporting its member States in the development and reform of cyber legislation. In 2007, UN ESCWA published Models for Cyber Legislation in UN ESCWA Member Countries, which reviewed regional and international legal developments and proposed practical templates to assist countries in assessing and harmonizing national cyber laws. Through its technical cooperation program, UN ESCWA continues to support member States in strengthening legal, institutional, and regulatory capacities related to digital and emerging technologies, including data protection and regulatory oversight. Recently, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Information Technology (MTIT) in Yemen has requested UN ESCWA’s advisory services to support the development of a personal data protection law aligned with international standards and regional best practices. Such a law would contribute to strengthening trust in digital services, protecting individuals’ rights, and supporting Yemen’s broader digital transformation efforts in line with global developments, including the principles set out in the GDC. In response, UN ESCWA is engaging a qualified legal consultant to provide specialized expertise in personal data protection, with specific attention to the Yemeni legal and institutional context. Yemen's ongoing conflict and fragile institutional environment require that the draft law include a realistic implementation sequencing recommendation, identifying which provisions can be operationalized in the near term and which require institutional prerequisites, such as the establishment of a data protection authority. The consultant shall draw on established international frameworks including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the OECD Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data (2013 revision), the Council of Europe Convention 108+, and the Arab League's draft model data protection law, selecting and adapting provisions appropriate to Yemen's legal, institutional, and developmental context. 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 advisory services, including the scope of work and expected outputs, are detailed in these Terms of Reference. III.

The content of the generated document shall be the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>16 weeks<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>GENERAL SCOPE Technology transfer is a critical driver of economic growth in today’s global economy. Access to technology, and its effective integration into economic processes, significantly determines the competitive positioning of key stakeholders, including innovators, producers, researchers, government institutions, and financial actors. The establishment of a National Technology Transfer Office (NTTO) can play a pivotal role in integrating the capacities of innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and researchers who are developing technological solutions addressing sustainability challenges and strategic national priorities. An NTTO can provide a comprehensive range of services, including policy advisory support to government ministries, identification and valorisation of intellectual property (IP) generated through research, and close engagement with researchers to highlight the economic potential of their work. It can also support patent drafting and protection, technology valuation, and offer a suite of services related to commercialization and industrial consultancy. Furthermore, an NTTO should actively facilitate linkages between national capabilities and multinational corporations seeking local partnerships for joint development and production. Institutions coordinating NTTO activities are expected to mobilize their own resources for the establishment and initial operation of these units. Recently, the Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Economy (MTDE) in Palestine requested technical assistance from ESCWA to assess and develop a roadmap for establishing an NTTO in Palestine. In the context of strengthening the national innovation system (NIS)—and the technology transfer system in particular—this report aims to identify gaps in the existing legal and regulatory frameworks, government policies, and institutional capacities, including those within universities, that may impede the development of an effective technology transfer ecosystem. Key policy areas such as research and development (R&amp;D) incentives, intellectual property protection, and innovation-related regulations have a direct impact on the performance of the NIS. Accordingly, this report provides a detailed assessment of these factors and proposes a practical roadmap for the establishment of an NTTO in Palestine. The report will also offer recommendations on addressing legislative and policy gaps to support the effective establishment and operation of the NTTO. In addition, it will outline the proposed structure, functions, and operational model of the NTTO, drawing on international best practices, regional experiences, stakeholder consultations, and previous ESCWA work. These Terms of Reference are developed to guide the preparation of the report titled: “Establishing an Effective System of Technology Transfer in Palestine: Current Status, Structure, Operations, and Roadmap.” The provision of this advisory service constitutes the core objective of these Terms of Reference. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report’s outline. The proposed draft version should include the following sections: • Existing legal and regulatory framework and policies related to innovation and technology transfer; • Review the relevant national and institutional existent legal framework and policies relevant to the process of innovation and technology transfer systems; • Review international and regional best practices in developing NTTOs to benchmark Palestine with the regional and international best practices. • Examining the situation in other countries in the Arab region that have already established NTTO, and get knowledge about their legal and regulatory system as well as their STI related policies and that support the establishment of NTTO; • Identification of gaps in laws, regulations and policies to allow for a more effective enabling environment for innovation and technology transfer. This would include brief analysis of the current situation with regard to innovation and technology transfer involvement in the economy of the country based on the national STI landscape mapping from previous report; • Suggestion of the needed office structure, its main functions and expected role of the relevant stakeholders (governance) based on best international and regional practices. This would include exploring planned policies with the representatives of governmental, nongovernmental, and other public interest groups to evaluate the present and planned legislative system which will affect the technology transfer network in the future and its strategies; • Finally, the consultant will suggest an actionable roadmap that includes the structure of the national technology transfer office (NTTO), its sustainability, and related liaison network by describing the main NTTO functions and activities, based on best international and regional practices, previous ESCWA outputs and taking into account national specificities. The report needs to clarify the relation of the NTTO role within the national technology transfer system in Palestine. • The consultant will present the report findings in a related national workshop, then update the report based on the collected comments and feedback. ESCWA promotes gender equality and integration of youth through its publications and therefore the consultant should pay attention, with the help of ESCWA staff, to gender considerations and youth dimension throughout the research work to ensure that the report gives equal attention to the needs of both men and women, as well as girls and boys. Writing should use gender-sensitive language.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in law, or technology field is required. A Ph.D. is an advantage.

It focuses on enhancing national statistical capacities to adopt international standards and innovative data sources; supporting evidence based policymaking through improved production and use of statistics, including gender and disability data; and guiding digital transformation through policy advice on emerging technologies. The subprogramme also promotes regional dialogue and partnerships among governments, experts, civil society and the private sector to maximize the value of statistics, geospatial data, digitization and new technologies in support of the 2030 Agenda. Duties and Responsibilities Purpose of the Evaluation Evaluations at ESCWA strive to demonstrate the difference that is being made by the work of ESCWA, and its impact on member States and their citizens. This evaluation will aim to determine the extent to which subprogramme 4 is achieving its intended results, the pathway to these results, and the elements that contribute most significantly to the achievement of these results. In addition, it will also consider how the project brings about any unintended results that may have occurred. The evaluation will serve three main purposes: • It will provide a basis for evidence-informed decision-making, strategic planning, and risk management. • It is a means to demonstrate accountability to the organization’s Executive Management and member States for performance, relative to ESCWA’s mandate and strategic objectives. • It will inform and facilitate organizational learning by identifying evidence-based findings, lessons to be learned, and recommendations for action that enhance the next generation of ESCWA’s work. The evaluation will therefore take both a summative and a formative approach. It will look at results achieved or not achieved so far (summative) with a view to inform ESCWA’s work in the future (formative). The evaluation will be conducted in line with ESCWA’s Evaluation Policy (2025), and the UNEG Norms and Standards for Evaluation.. The evaluation will strive to employ development best practices with regard to promoting gender equality and a human rights-based approach, including the rights of persons with disabilities. The evaluation will be facilitated and coordinated by ESCWA’s Strategic Planning, Accountability, Results and Knowledge team. Scope of the Evaluation The evaluation will be forward-looking and will objectively and systematically assess the performance of the subprogramme in terms of its relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability. Furthermore, the evaluation will assess the extent to which gender, human rights, disability inclusion, environmental concerns, and other cross-cutting issues were incorporated or mainstreamed into the subprogramme. The evaluation will cover the period from January 2020 to December 2025. Areas of focus for each sub-programme evaluation include: • Key aspects of UN and ESCWA reforms, including the merger of the Statistics Division and the Technology for Development Division into one Cluster, as relevant; • The overall coherence of the subprogramme’s work and the extent to which its work has been synergetic; • The relevant IT- and AI-enabled tools/systems/platforms developed by the subprogramme; • Organisation-wide policies, as relevant, to promote organisational learning. Evaluation Criteria The following key evaluation questions per criteria will guide the evaluation. The evaluator/s is expected to refine evaluation questions where necessary and to include the refinement in the Inception Report. Relevance • To what extent are the objectives and expected accomplishments of the subprogramme aligned with: o ESCWA's strategic framework and programme budget? o Regional development priorities and challenges? o The 2030 Agenda and relevant SDGs? • To what extent do the subprogramme's interventions respond to the evolving needs and priorities of member States? • How well do the subprogramme's products and services (research, policy advice, capacity-building, convening) address identified gaps and demands? • To what extent are the needs and priorities of vulnerable or marginalized population groups reflected in the subprogramme's design and implementation? • How relevant are the subprogramme's thematic areas and approaches in the current regional context? • To what extent has the subprogramme adapted to emerging regional challenges and opportunities? Coherence • To what extent did the merger of the Statistics and Technology divisions create positive synergies, or did it result in parallel, siloed work streams? • How well does the subprogramme align its data and technology initiatives with the interventions of UN Country Teams and the League of Arab States to avoid duplication? • How well does subprogramme 4 align its scope and collaborate with other teams in ESCWA to avoid duplication and improve efficiency? For example with DSDSD. • Are there opportunities for greater coordination, collaboration, or integration with other subprogrammes within ESCWA and other institutions? Effectiveness • To what extent have the planned outputs and activities been delivered as intended? • To what extent have the expected accomplishments/outcomes been achieved? • How effectively has the subprogramme contributed to strengthening the capacities of member States and other stakeholders? • To what extent have knowledge products and policy recommendations been utilized by target stakeholders? • What factors facilitated or hindered the achievement of results? • How effectively has the subprogramme integrated cross-cutting issues such as gender equality, human rights, disability inclusion, youth, and environmental sustainability? • How could other factors have contributed to the achievement of the identified results? • How were key partnerships integrated in the delivery of the programme to maximise the achievement of results? Efficiency • To what extent were financial, human, and technical resources used efficiently to produce outputs and outcomes? • To what extent were management arrangements conducive to efficient implementation? • How cost-effective were the different types of interventions (e.g., research, policy advisory services, capacity-building, regional forums)? • To what extent did coordination within ESCWA and with external partners reduce duplication and generate synergies? • Were monitoring, reporting, and learning mechanisms adequate to support adaptive management and efficient implementation? • Could similar results have been achieved with fewer resources or through alternative approaches? Impact • What, if any, high-level effects did the programme cause (such as changes in norms or systems)? • To what extent has the subprogramme influenced policies, legislation, strategies, institutions, or practices in member States? • To what extent has the subprogramme contributed to regional cooperation, knowledge exchange, and policy dialogue? • To what extent did the intervention lead to other changes, including “scalable” or “replicable” results? • While long-term transformative impact may be difficult to measure, what 'early signals' of impact – such as specific policy adoption, changes to statistical regulations, or behavioral shifts – can be directly traced to the subprogramme's interventions? Sustainability • Have capacities, systems, and institutional arrangements been strengthened sufficiently to maintain benefits? • To what extent have knowledge products, tools, methodologies, and networks continued to be used after their initial delivery? • What risks could affect the sustainability of the results, and how have they been addressed? • Did the subprogramme successfully establish formal 'institutional homes' (e.g., permanent national observatories, explicit operational manuals, or formal focal points) within Member State governments to ensure tools and data platforms survive beyond ESCWA's direct involvement? • To what extent has the subprogramme fostered partnerships and mechanisms that can support continued implementation and scaling up? • What evidence is available to indicate that the results of the programme can be maintained by stakeholders? Gender, Human Rights, Disability Inclusion, and Environmental Issues • To what extent were issues of gender, human rights, disability inclusion, and the environment incorporated into the design, planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation practices of the programme, as well as the results achieved? • To what extent did the programme respond to and affect the rights, needs and interests of different stakeholders, including women, men, youth, people with disabilities and other marginalized groups? Evaluation Methodology Management and Governance Arrangements All evaluation methodologies are to be reviewed by ESCWA’s SPARK Section and approved by ESCWA’s Senior Management. • The evaluation will be conducted by an external consultant/s. • The evaluator is expected to identify the main objectives achieved through the implementation of the programme, intended and unintended, as established by key stakeholders and relevant documentation, and the pathways that led to achieving them, with particular focus on innovative practices and initiatives that can be leveraged to further enhance ESCWA’s work. • The evaluator is expected to ensure a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative), inclusive, and participatory approach, with adequate triangulation across methods, to arrive at credible, reliable, and unbiased findings. • The evaluator will also ensure that all aspects of the evaluation are gender and human rights sensitive (including a special focus on the rights with person with disabilities). In addition, the evaluator must ensure that he/she always complies with the UNEG Ethical Guidelines for Evaluation during the conduct of the evaluation. The above methodology is indicative. The evaluator is expected to build upon it and present a robust evaluation methodology within the inception report, including addressing and refining the evaluation questions. Quality Assurance Mechanism The evaluator will employ a quality assurance mechanism of her/his preference (either an internal or an external system can be used), which will provide quality checks throughout the evaluation process. This quality assurance mechanism will be indicated in the Inception Report and in the Final Evaluation Report. In addition, ESCWA will review the evaluation report prior to finalization to ensure that it aligns with the UNEG Quality Checklist for Evaluation Reports , particularly with reference to the quality of recommendations.
