<p>Promoting fair and competitive markets is a key driver of economic efficiency, private-sector development, and consumer welfare. Across the Arab region, markets are undergoing rapid transformation driven by diversification efforts, evolving regulatory frameworks, digitalization, and global supply-chain shifts. These developments have increased the need for rigorous legal, regulatory, and competition analysis to help governments identify market distortions, assess anti-competitive practices, and design effective, evidence-based policy interventions. Within this context, ESCWA supports member States in strengthening competition frameworks, improving market performance, and building institutional, legal, and analytical capacities for competition assessment and enforcement. The Competition and Consumer Policies portfolio in the Economic Governance and Planning Section combines regional policy development, country-level technical assistance, market studies, capacity-building, and knowledge products, often in close collaboration with national competition authorities and other public institutions. A key area of focus is the use of competition-based market studies to identify structural, behavioral, regulatory, and legal constraints affecting market performance. These studies serve as practical tools for diagnosing market failures, reviewing the adequacy of legal and institutional frameworks, supporting enforcement priorities, and guiding reforms that enhance efficiency, resilience, and consumer welfare. Within this broader regional mandate, ESCWA is currently supporting the Sultanate of Oman in strengthening competition conditions in priority economic sectors. The building materials sector, which is central to construction, infrastructure development, and industrial activity, has been identified as a strategic area for in-depth analysis. The sector plays a critical role in national development yet faces challenges related to market structure, supply chains, pricing dynamics, regulatory requirements, institutional arrangements, and potential anti-competitive practices. To respond to these needs, ESCWA seeks to engage a Legal Competition Consultant to support legal, regulatory, policy, and technical work under the Competition and Consumer Policies portfolio. The consultant will be assigned primarily to the Oman building materials market study and will contribute to legal assessments, competition law and policy analysis, review of regulatory and institutional frameworks, and the identification of legal or procedural constraints affecting market competition. The consultant may also provide support to other related competition-policy activities of the section, as required and in line with the needs of the assignment.</p><p>Under the overall supervision of the Project Manager and Economic Affairs Officer, the Consultant will support the legal and regulatory analysis of ESCWA s work on competition policy, market studies, and business regulation. The Consultant will primarily support the legal analysis of the XB project for Oman building materials sector, while also providing legal and regulatory inputs to related work on market functioning, competition, consumer protection, and business regulations, as required and within the scope of the assignment.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><ul><li>A Master's degree or equivalent in law, business law or related areas is required. A first-level university degree, in combination with qualifying experience, may be accepted in lieu of the advanced degree. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree.

The request aims to strengthen the capacity of PCBS staff to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor risks that may affect the production of official statistics, in accordance with the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM). The GSBPM will serve as the main reference framework for linking risk management to the phases of statistical production. This support is particularly relevant in the Palestinian context, where political, security and humanitarian conditions may affect field data collection, access to certain areas and population groups, staff mobility, administrative data flows, digital infrastructure, dissemination, and the continuity of statistical production. ESCWA will provide the requested support with the assistance of an international consultant. The proposed support will focus on enabling PCBS staff to develop a practical and applicable approach for managing risks related to statistical work according to the GSBPM phases, strengthening institutional preparedness, continuity, quality and reliability of official statistics, and ensuring alignment with the existing national strategy for the development of statistics and coordination requirements within the National Statistical System. Technical support is expected to start remotely during the initial phase. It may subsequently be built upon through more interactive technical support and capacity-development modalities, including in-person technical meetings, face-to-face training or a hybrid format, whenever feasible, as a future direction to be considered in light of progress and available resources. Duties and Responsibilities Under the overall supervision of ESCWA's Project Coordinator and in close coordination with PCBS, the consultant will: 1. Undertake a review of the current situation, covering relevant documents, policies, procedures and practices, complemented by interviews and working sessions with the relevant technical and administrative departments. 2. Support PCBS in assessing risks across the main phases of the GSBPM: needs, design, build, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and evaluation. 3. Provide online technical guidance and capacity-development sessions on risk concepts, GSBPM-based risk mapping, risk registers, mitigation measures, monitoring and reporting. 4. Assist PCBS in developing a practical risk management approach for statistical work, including roles, responsibilities, coordination mechanisms, escalation procedures and review arrangements. 5. Support the preparation of practical tools and templates, including a risk register, risk assessment matrix, mitigation plan, monitoring format and reporting template. 6. Assist PCBS in preparing a phased action plan for implementation, including priority activities, roles and responsibilities, timeline, technical and institutional needs, and monitoring and evaluation indicators, ensuring alignment with the existing national strategy for the development of statistics and the requirements of the National Statistical System. The action plan should include a pilot phase to test the proposed tools and templates before their adoption and scale-up, as well as a clear mechanism for knowledge transfer and sustainability of institutional application, and finalize outputs based on comments from ESCWA and PCBS.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in statistics, data management, risk management, public administration, institutional development or a 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.
