Through an integrated approach that combines policy dialogue, analytical research, capacity-building, and digital innovation, ESCWA assists member States in mobilizing and managing financing across key sources, including domestic public resources, private investment, international development cooperation, trade and investment flows, and sustainable debt management. This work is aligned with global commitments, including the Seville Commitment, which underscores the importance of strengthening accountability and governance in financing development, as well as the mandates to address financing leakages as a key enabler of financing sustainable development. (paragraphs 29 (a) &amp; (c), 28 (e), and 33 (a)). Central to this work is the conduct of detailed diagnostics of the financing for development landscape, analysing the various sources of financing available to address five major financing rifts that continue to impede sustainable development in the Arab region: financing insolvencies, financing inequalities, fiscal space constraints, funding shortfalls, and debt-financing overhangs. In response, ESCWA advances regional cooperation on domestic resource mobilization, integrated financing solutions, diversifying sources of revenues and addressing leakages related to illicit financial flows and investment distortions. These efforts are complemented by policy recommendations and practical tools to support governments in improving revenue mobilization and financing strategies. In parallel, ESCWA has developed a forward-looking digital financing ecosystem composed of analytical and AI-powered tools that enable governments assess financing gaps, improve spending efficiency, optimize public spending, address illicit financial flows, strengthen multiple aspects of their financing strategies, enhance policy targeting, accelerate progress towards the SDGs, and design integrated financing strategies aligned with national development priorities. This ecosystem has received recognition at multiple institutional levels and has been endorsed under the Seville Platform of Action and recognized by DESA as a scalable, real-life application that can be adapted and replicated across countries and regions. Within this context, ESCWA seeks a consultant to provide support in the implementation of various FfD activities as detailed below. Duties and Responsibilities 1- Map productive linkages across pilot country/countries’ production base and financing structure to identify sectoral interdependencies, financing bottlenecks, and opportunities for higher-value economic transformation. 2- Estimate latent financing-space linkages by combining prospective structural configurations, visualization tools, and empirical signals of capability-space adjacency to identify feasible pathways for economic diversification and financing mobilization for blended finance while addressing resource leakages. 3- Construct and align a high-dimensional proximity matrix across the production universe, integrating relevant product, sectoral, industrial, and financing classification systems to enable comparable mapping of productive and financing linkages, identify tax- and trade-based leakage channels, and detect unrealized or suboptimally realized productive potential. 4- Normalize and validate the matrix to ensure connectivity, consistency, and suitability for modelling and network diagnostics. 5- Develop a structural scoring framework to assess relative feasibility, productive accessibility, and strategic positioning of diversified commodity-linked financing opportunities, while identifying products and sectors exposed to illicit financial flow risks. 6- Design and implement a Python-based analytical framework to query, harmonize, and transform relevant investment datasets into a standardized panel, supporting downstream empirical analysis and the identification of potential anomalies in investment patterns. 7- Apply data-driven analytical methods to identify patterns, groupings and relationships across sectors and products based on selected structural and operational characteristics. 8- Integrate Product-level production indicators to assess economic trends, identify priority areas, and highlight sector-focused policy support. 9- Develop and apply econometric models to assess structural feasibility, between proximate products across inter-connected products and sectors. This includes: o Preparing panel dataset of products’ competitiveness and production indicators. o Integrating structural linkage and proximity matrices into the modelling framework. o Estimating econometric models to analyse the evolution of production and structural upgrading patterns. o Assessing productive feasibility and upgrading opportunities, across interconnected sectors and products. 10- Generate and assess alternative upgrading pathways based on econometric modelling results. 11- Other related tasks related to the deliverables below as requested by the Hiring Manager.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A master’s degree or equivalent in economics, finance, econometrics, business analytics, or related field is required.

The Regional Office for West Asia delivers advisory services and capacity building support to countries to achieve environmental and sustainable development objectives. The UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) provides technical cooperation and policy advice to countries in the region to help achieve their environmental goals and sustainable development priorities. Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing environmental challenges worldwide, posing significant risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, human health, and sustainable development. Single-use plastics (SUPs), including plastic bags, food packaging, disposable cutlery, straws, and beverage containers, represent a substantial share of plastic waste due to their short lifespan and limited recovery after use. The Kingdom of Bahrain has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing plastic pollution through a range of regulatory and policy measures. Recent initiatives include restrictions on non-biodegradable plastic bags, limitations on small plastic beverage containers, and broader efforts to promote sustainable waste management and environmental protection. Nevertheless, SUPs continue to constitute a significant source of plastic pollution, particularly in terrestrial and marine environments. Recognizing the need to strengthen existing policy measures, the Supreme Council for Environment (SCE), in collaboration with UNEP ROWA, is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework governing single-use plastics. The assessment will identify strengths, gaps, implementation challenges, and opportunities for improvement while drawing upon international good practices and lessons learned from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Arab region, and other jurisdictions. The assignment will culminate in the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap to reinforce Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. UNEP seeks to recruit an International Expert on Plastic Pollution and Circular Economy to provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory provision for the assessment of Bahrain's policy and regulatory framework on single-use plastics, the review of international best practices, stakeholder consultations, and the development of evidence-based policy recommendations and an implementation roadmap, in close coordination with the SCE and under UNEP ROWA supervision. The objective of this assignment is to contribute to the work of UNEP ROWA in reviewing the current status of single-use plastics in Bahrain, assessing the effectiveness of the existing policy and regulatory framework, identifying policy and implementation gaps, benchmarking international and regional good practices, and developing a practical policy framework and implementation roadmap to reduce single-use plastics and advance Bahrain's transition towards a circular economy for plastics. The expert will provide technical, analytical, drafting, and advisory maintenance throughout the assignment.

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. Evaluation Ethics The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the principles outlined in the UNEG Ethical Guidelines for Evaluation; and all rights and confidentiality of information providers will be prioritized and safeguarded as per UNEG Ethical Guidelines for Evaluation.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in management, evaluation, or related area is required.
