<p>The consultant is expected to draft a paper that develops a framework outlining the key determinants for advancing care reforms and systems.</p><p>Work Location Remote Expected duration 3 months Duties and Responsibilities Background Around the world, societies and economies are undergoing socio-demographic changes such as ageing populations, low fertility rates, urbanization, increased migration, widespread crises and conflicts, and climate change, which have all intensified the demand for care. However, while gaining global importance, care work still remains invisible and undervalued, often relegated to informal and unpaid labour, disproportionately borne by women, thus hindering their empowerment. Although this trend is observed globally, it is particularly acute in the Arab region where women undertake 80 to 90 per cent of all unpaid care work and spend 4.7 times more time than men on these responsibilities, exceeding the global average of 3.62 . Unpaid care work hinders women s visibility and participation in public economic and political spheres as well as in decision-making processes in the Arab region. The disproportionate unpaid care work undertaken by women limits their economic engagement and opportunities, as it makes it challenging for them to balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, women often face gender stereotypes, limited professional development opportunities, and an institutional culture that marginalizes their contributions. Women s economic and political participation in the region remain low compared to global averages. In 2025, women s labour force participation was only 19 per cent, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide . Women s political representation shows a similarly stark gap. In December 2025, women held only 27 per cent of national parliamentary seats globally, with an even lower share in the Middle East and North Africa at around 16 per cent, the lowest in the world . However, there has been growing regional momentum realizing gains in the care economy with many countries in the Arab region offering instructive examples of care reforms. Nevertheless, these reforms are often sector-specific, focusing on one policy area such as labour without approaching care in a holistic manner interconnected across different sectors and policy areas. Within this context, understanding the political economy which examines how social, economic, and political factors shape care policies and systems becomes a pressing priority. Building on these reform efforts in the Arab region and looking at breakthroughs in care policymaking globally, including Latin America which has been particularly active in advancing comprehensive care systems, it is increasingly important to understand how care, often framed solely as a gender equality issue, intersects with other major development issues and policy domains. This highlights the regional need for policies that recognize care as a central element of sustainable economies and redistribute it among different stakeholders including the state. Ongoing inter-regional collaboration between UN regional commissions, namely ESCWA and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) including through a project on advancing care policies for transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Arab states, seeks to draw lessons from Latin American countries experiences in advancing comprehensive care systems. Given the inherent political nature of care policymaking, it is essential to understand what prompts political actors to prioritize care. A key driver is awareness around the critical role care plays in society and its far-reaching implications for economic and social well-being. When care is made visible as a cross-cutting issue that affects economic growth, labour force participation, health outcomes, social cohesion, and gender equality, it is more likely to gain traction in political discourse and influence the selection of policy instruments, thereby driving change in laws, budgets, and institutional support for care systems.</p><p>Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to assist in drafting a paper, in collaboration with ECLAC, that thoroughly examines the factors and determinants behind care reforms, investigating the political economy of care in the Arab region and relating it to Latin America s experience. The paper will draw on experiences from both Latin American and Arab countries to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond fragmented care reform policies towards comprehensive care systems. It will build on the recommendations provided by experts during ESCWA s Expert Group Meeting on the Political Economy of Care Policies: Determinants for Reform in the Arab Region organized in July 2026.</p><p>Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks:</p><ul><li>Desk review: undertake a desk review of available successful and as well as unachieved experiences in advancing care policies and systems from Latin America and the Arab region;</li><li>Based on the results of the desk review, undertake consultations with relevant stakeholders on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems;</li><li>Review the results of consultations with relevant stakeholders from the Arab region on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems;</li><li>Propose the elements and dynamics among key determinants to advance care policies and systems and draw lessons for future policy making and reforms on care while taking into account the discussions and recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting above mentioned.</li><li>Suggest a detailed outline to be validated and agreed upon with ESCWA s team in consultation with ECLAC;</li><li>Based on the agreed outline, prepare the first draft of the paper to be reviewed by ESCWA s team;</li><li>Prepare a final draft based on the comments and recommendations provided by ESCWA and ECLAC s teams.</li></ul><p>Supervision: The consultant will work Under the direct supervision of the Social Affairs Officer responsible for the care economy stream at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Ms. Rouba ARJA, and overall guidance of the gender Justice, Population and Inclusive Development cluster leader. The consultant is expected to provide regular updates on the work progress.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p>A master's degree in economy, or sociology, or law or gender studies or related area is required. A PhD in one of these fields is desirable. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. A minimum of 10 years of professional work experience in areas related to public policy making is required. Previous experience in social policy reform and changes is required. Previous experience in working on care policies is desirable. English and French are the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat; and Arabic is a working language of ESCWA. For this position, fluency in English is required. Knowledge of Spanish and/or Arabic is desirable. Note: Fluency equals a rating of fluent in all four areas (speak, read, write, and understand) and Knowledge of equals a rating of confident in two of the four areas.

Our mission is to create memorable moments for our customers through our signature dishes and strong connection to the communities we serve. Join us as we continue to grow into a globally recognized and loved brand. Summary of Position The People &amp; Culture Director is the architect of the people systems that enable Swiss Butter to scale across multiple countries as a company-owned, decentralized operating group. The role designs and governs the organizational infrastructure that lets each Head of Department own people execution within their function, while ensuring consistency, quality, and leadership readiness across all markets. Core mandates include organizational design, compensation architecture, manpower planning, succession systems, Academy governance, HRIS and ATS infrastructure, and decentralized accountability frameworks. The People &amp; Culture Director ensures the organization is structurally ready to expand, with leadership capacity established ahead of opening cadence rather than in response to it. The guiding principle of the function is clear: People &amp; Culture owns the system; operators own the people. Operating Model &amp; Centralization Boundary Swiss Butter is a company-owned, decentralized operating group. People &amp; Culture is decentralized by default: hiring, promotion, performance management, exit, and day-to-day people decisions are owned and executed by Heads of Department and market leads, within group standards. The function centralizes only what must be centralized to control audit, statutory, and group-consistency risk. Centralizing the system of record and the standard is not the same as centralizing the decision. The Director centralizes the record and the standard, and pushes every decision that can be safely distributed to the operator who owns the outcome. The following boundary is a non-negotiable feature of the role, not a phase-one compromise. Centralized by Mandate (P&amp;C owns the system, the standard, and the record) Employee master data and the single HRIS system of record. One record per employee, one set of service dates, one leave-balance ledger across all entities. Operators write into it; they do not keep parallel or local records. This is the primary audit control. Statutory liability and compliance tracking: end-of-service, leave, GOSI and social security, visa and work-permit validity, and the underlying calculations. These are accounting liabilities and cross-jurisdiction compliance obligations, not people-management choices, and they must be owned centrally and reconciled to Finance. Grading and pay-band architecture: the levels and bands, the compensation philosophy, and the benchmarking method are designed and governed centrally. Pay decisions within an approved band are an operator decision. Group standards for hiring, succession methodology, and SB Academy certification: the definition of what good looks like, so a certified leader means the same thing in every market. Selection and development against those standards are executed by operators. Decentralized to Operators (Heads of Department and Market Leads own the people) Who to hire, promote, and exit, within group standards and approved bands. Day-to-day performance management, coaching, and team development. Running the market-entry hiring playbook locally, and owning their own succession depth, held accountable centrally but executed locally. Key Performance Areas (KPAs) Organizational Design &amp; Operating Model Compensation Architecture &amp; Manpower Planning People Systems &amp; Data Infrastructure Talent Acquisition &amp; Workforce Readiness Leadership Development &amp; the Academy Succession &amp; Leadership Pipeline Performance Management &amp; Calibration Decentralized Accountability &amp; Governance Expansion &amp; New-Market Readiness Duties &amp; Responsibilities Organizational Design &amp; Operating Model Design the decentralized operating model, defining decision rights, guardrails, and escalation paths across all functions and markets. Establish the framework through which Heads of Department own people execution within their areas of responsibility. Maintain organizational clarity across entities, ensuring structure keeps pace with expansion. Compensation Architecture &amp; Manpower Planning Develop and govern a global grading and pay-band structure, mapped and benchmarked across all operating markets. Define the compensation philosophy and ensure pay decisions remain consistent, competitive, and defensible. Build the manpower planning model, aligning headcount and hiring lead times to the expansion pipeline, in partnership with Finance. People Systems &amp; Data Infrastructure Implement our in-house HRIS and ATS platforms to replace manual processes with scalable infrastructure. Establish a single, reliable source of employee data across all markets. Build reporting that supports leadership-level workforce and people-cost decisions. Talent Acquisition &amp; Workforce Readiness Define hiring standards, selection criteria, and certification gates applied consistently across markets. Establish a market-entry people playbook covering hiring, onboarding, and opening readiness for each new location. Ensure operators are equipped to source and select talent within agreed standards. Leadership Development &amp; the Academy Govern the SB Academy as the group's leadership development and operational certification function. Establish operational certification and train-the-trainer systems that replicate leadership capability across markets. Align Academy output to expansion demand, measuring certified leadership capacity produced against opening requirements. Succession &amp; Leadership Pipeline Establish the succession methodology and review cadence covering all critical roles. Ensure every critical role has an identified and developing successor. Hold Heads of Department accountable for maintaining leadership depth within their functions. Performance Management &amp; Calibration Design the performance management and calibration framework applied consistently across all markets. Ensure managers run performance cycles on time and link outcomes to development decisions. Connect performance results to promotion, succession, and pay decisions.&nbsp;</p></div></section><section><p class="heading">Desired Candidate Profile</p><p class="paragraph"></p><p>Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Organizational Development, or a related field (Master's degree is a plus). 10+ years of progressive experience in People &amp; Culture, Human Resources, or Organizational Development, including senior leadership scope.

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.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant is expected to draft a paper that develops a framework outlining the key determinants for advancing care reforms and systems.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>3 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Around the world, societies and economies are undergoing socio-demographic changes such as ageing populations, low fertility rates, urbanization, increased migration, widespread crises and conflicts, and climate change, which have all intensified the demand for care. However, while gaining global importance, care work still remains invisible and undervalued, often relegated to informal and unpaid labour, disproportionately borne by women, thus hindering their empowerment. Although this trend is observed globally, it is particularly acute in the Arab region where women undertake 80 to 90 per cent of all unpaid care work and spend 4.7 times more time than men on these responsibilities, exceeding the global average of 3.62 . Unpaid care work hinders women’s visibility and participation in public economic and political spheres as well as in decision-making processes in the Arab region. The disproportionate unpaid care work undertaken by women limits their economic engagement and opportunities, as it makes it challenging for them to balance work and family responsibilities. Additionally, women often face gender stereotypes, limited professional development opportunities, and an institutional culture that marginalizes their contributions. Women’s economic and political participation in the region remain low compared to global averages. In 2025, women’s labour force participation was only 19 per cent, less than half the global average of 49 per cent, making it the lowest rate worldwide . Women’s political representation shows a similarly stark gap. In December 2025, women held only 27 per cent of national parliamentary seats globally, with an even lower share in the Middle East and North Africa at around 16 per cent, the lowest in the world . However, there has been growing regional momentum realizing gains in the care economy with many countries in the Arab region offering instructive examples of care reforms. Nevertheless, these reforms are often sector-specific, focusing on one policy area such as labour without approaching care in a holistic manner interconnected across different sectors and policy areas. Within this context, understanding the political economy which examines how social, economic, and political factors shape care policies and systems becomes a pressing priority. Building on these reform efforts in the Arab region and looking at breakthroughs in care policymaking globally, including Latin America which has been particularly active in advancing comprehensive care systems, it is increasingly important to understand how care, often framed solely as a gender equality issue, intersects with other major development issues and policy domains. This highlights the regional need for policies that recognize care as a central element of sustainable economies and redistribute it among different stakeholders including the state. Ongoing inter-regional collaboration between UN regional commissions, namely ESCWA and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) including through a project on advancing care policies for transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Arab states, seeks to draw lessons from Latin American countries’ experiences in advancing comprehensive care systems. Given the inherent political nature of care policymaking, it is essential to understand what prompts political actors to prioritize care. A key driver is awareness around the critical role care plays in society and its far-reaching implications for economic and social well-being. When care is made visible as a cross-cutting issue that affects economic growth, labour force participation, health outcomes, social cohesion, and gender equality, it is more likely to gain traction in political discourse and influence the selection of policy instruments, thereby driving change in laws, budgets, and institutional support for care systems. Objective and methodology ESCWA seeks to hire a consultant to assist in drafting a paper, in collaboration with ECLAC, that thoroughly examines the factors and determinants behind care reforms, investigating the political economy of care in the Arab region and relating it to Latin America’s experience. The paper will draw on experiences from both Latin American and Arab countries to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond fragmented care reform policies towards comprehensive care systems. It will build on the recommendations provided by experts during ESCWA’s Expert Group Meeting on the Political Economy of Care Policies: Determinants for Reform in the Arab Region organized in July 2026. Tasks and responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: - Desk review: undertake a desk review of available successful and as well as unachieved experiences in advancing care policies and systems from Latin America and the Arab region; - Based on the results of the desk review, undertake consultations with relevant stakeholders on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Review the results of consultations with relevant stakeholders from the Arab region on the main determinants, challenges or barriers which they have faced while working on advancing care policies and systems; - Propose the elements and dynamics among key determinants to advance care policies and systems and draw lessons for future policy making and reforms on care while taking into account the discussions and recommendations of the Expert Group Meeting above mentioned. - Suggest a detailed outline to be validated and agreed upon with ESCWA’s team in consultation with ECLAC; - Based on the agreed outline, prepare the first draft of the paper to be reviewed by ESCWA’s team; - Prepare a final draft based on the comments and recommendations provided by ESCWA and ECLAC’s teams. Supervision: The consultant will work Under the direct supervision of the Social Affairs Officer responsible for the care economy stream at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Ms. Rouba ARJA, and overall guidance of the gender Justice, Population and Inclusive Development cluster leader.

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.
