Its potential spans from revolutionizing education and healthcare to streamlining government services and supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in content generation and product design. As such, GenAI can play a pivotal role in national socio-economic development by driving innovation, improving service delivery, and creating new economic opportunities. However, this potential must be balanced with proactive governance to mitigate risks such as misinformation, bias, data misuse, and intellectual property infringement. To harness GenAI responsibly, it is critical for governments to develop and adopt comprehensive national guidelines that define ethical boundaries, promote safe and transparent use, and set standards for both public and private sector deployment. Such guidelines should address key areas including data quality and privacy, transparency of AI-generated content, human oversight, accountability mechanisms, and the responsible integration of GenAI into critical infrastructure and public services. A national framework provides clarity for developers, users, and regulators, ensuring that GenAI innovation aligns with national values, legal frameworks, and societal well-being. Several countries have already taken steps in this direction. In the Arab region, Saudi Arabia’s SDAIA (Saudi Data and AI Authority) has issued guidelines for GenAI ethics focusing on fairness, safety, and accountability. The UAE, through its Artificial Intelligence Office, is also advancing efforts to develop policy frameworks that include generative AI within broader ethical and governance strategies. Internationally, the United States released an amendment to the Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of AI , which includes mandates for managing the risks of GenAI in areas such as deepfakes and cybersecurity. Meanwhile, the European Union (EU) has incorporated GenAI provisions into its landmark AI Act , setting requirements for transparency and labeling of AI-generated content. Establishing national guidelines for GenAI is not merely a regulatory exercise; it is a strategic enabler of innovation, public trust, and global competitiveness. With the right governance, countries can unlock the full value of GenAI while ensuring its development and use remain ethical, inclusive, and aligned with long-term national interests. The United Nations (UN) is involved in enhancing the use of emerging technologies for sustainable development. In September 2024 during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and Declaration on Future Generations. Among its objectives , GDC aims to enhance the international governance of AI for the benefit of humanity. UN-ESCWA, through its technical cooperation program, is committed to provide technical assistance to its member states to boost national efforts towards the achievement of the 2030 Development Agenda. Recently, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Modernization of Admin (MTNMA) in Mauritania requested UN-ESCWA’s assistance in developing the national guidelines of GenAI use.

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.

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. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report on ATI law. To produce the draft report, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1.

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 Open data is widely recognized as a foundational enabler of sustainable development because it improves evidence-based decision-making, transparency, and citizen participation. Timely, accessible, and shareable data supports human centered innovation, strengthens public service delivery, and enhances accountability in governance systems. In fact, open government data operationalizes transparency, a core principle of effective governance for achieving the 2030 Agenda, by making public sector information reusable for social and economic value creation. In this context, open data contributes directly to multiple SDGs, including institutional effectiveness (SDG 16), innovation (SDG 9), and partnerships (SDG 17) . Globally, open data is transforming digital economies and governance systems by enabling innovation, improving policy design, and supporting data-driven ecosystems. Open data enhances democratic engagement and stimulates innovation by allowing businesses and citizens to reuse government data for new services and insights. At the same time, ITU data shows that the rapid expansion of digital connectivity—with around 74% of the global population online in 2025—creates unprecedented opportunities for open data use, although gaps persist across regions . Regionally, particularly in developing and Arab countries, open data can help address structural challenges by improving coordination and reducing information asymmetries. However, disparities in infrastructure, governance maturity, and digital skills mean that the impact of open data varies significantly, requiring tailored policies and capacity-building interventions to unlock its full potential. One leading global example is the United Kingdom’s data.gov.uk platform, which releases thousands of datasets across sectors such as transport, health, and the economy, enabling businesses to build data-driven services and enhancing government transparency . This demonstrates that when supported by policy frameworks and stakeholder engagement, open data can generate tangible economic and governance benefits in both advanced and developing contexts. For Libya, adopting a comprehensive open data policy is particularly critical given the country’s challenges and limited availability of reliable data. An open data policy would help address these gaps by standardizing data collection and sharing, improving trust in public institutions, and enabling evidence-based reforms. The General Information Authority (GIA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop the national open data policy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the national open data policy to the GIA. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the open data policy. To produce the draft policy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Libya related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to open data policies and frameworks (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3. Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with GIA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals; 4. Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals explicitly include “legal identity for all” (SDG 16.9), highlighting its role in inclusion and governance. In fact, e-ID allows individuals to securely prove their identity in digital environments, which improves access to healthcare, education, financial services, and social protection while reducing costs and improving efficiency in delivery. Identity verification is also essential for the resilience of societies and economies. Well-governed digital identity systems are now viewed as critical digital public infrastructure necessary for long-term sustainability and trust in digital transformation . Globally, the impact of e-ID is transformative but uneven. The World Economic Forum (WEF) highlights that around 850 million people still lack legal identification, limiting their ability to participate fully in society and the economy. Expanding digital identity systems can significantly improve inclusion, enabling access to digital services, financial systems, and labor markets while enhancing privacy and user control when properly designed. Regionally, especially in developing economies, e-ID is expected to accelerate digital economies and public sector efficiency; however, gaps in infrastructure, governance, and interoperability remain major barriers. Evidence also shows that lack of ID restricts access to essentials such as mobile connectivity, banking, healthcare, and voting, demonstrating the broad socio-economic consequences of identity exclusion. Two widely cited global success cases are Estonia and India. Estonia’s e-ID is considered a global benchmark, where over 99% of public services are accessible online and citizens use digital identity for voting, healthcare, taxation, and business, demonstrating how e-ID can anchor a fully digital society . Its success is grounded in strong legal frameworks, interoperability, and universal adoption. Another example is India’s Aadhaar system , which has enabled large-scale inclusion in financial services and targeted welfare delivery. These cases illustrate that successful e-ID systems combine policy, technology, and governance to drive adoption and trust . For Libya, developing a robust e-ID policy is critical to advancing its digital transformation agenda and overcoming governance and service delivery challenges. Given Libya’s high internet penetration, a clear, comprehensive e-ID policy would strengthen trust, improve interoperability across government services, and address gaps in data protection and digital governance. The General Information Authority (GIA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop the national digital identity policy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital identity policy to the GIA. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital identity policy.

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. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report on e-transaction law. To produce the draft report, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Benchmarking and Best Practices • Review current national laws related to digital and emerging technologies in Yemen; • Review best regional and international practices in e-Transaction and trust services law (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases) and justification for case selection provided in the report; 2.

At the same time, the United Nations system recognizes that AI has profound and far reaching impacts on human lives, economies, and ecosystems, influencing decision making, social interactions, and access to opportunities. While AI can serve as a powerful enabler for advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it also presents significant risks, including bias and discrimination, threats to human rights and privacy, environmental costs, and the potential to exacerbate existing digital and socioeconomic inequalities if not properly governed. In response to these challenges, UNESCO adopted in 2021 the first global normative instrument on AI ethics, which underscores that the protection of human rights and human dignity must remain at the core of AI systems throughout their lifecycle . The Recommendation highlights the importance of principles such as transparency, accountability, fairness, inclusiveness, and human oversight to ensure that AI technologies are trustworthy and aligned with human centered values. At the global level, the establishment of robust AI ethics frameworks is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for building trust in emerging technologies, enabling international cooperation, and ensuring that innovation contributes to inclusive and sustainable development. International organizations, including the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), emphasize that ethical governance, standards, and multistakeholder collaboration are essential to harness AI’s transformative potential across sectors such as health, agriculture, and disaster management, while mitigating associated risks and ensuring equitable access. In this context, ethical AI frameworks are not only regulatory tools but also strategic enablers for innovation, competitiveness, and social cohesion at the global level . In the Arab region, AI is recognized by UN-ESCWA as a defining megatrend with the potential to drive economic diversification, enhance public service delivery, and create new employment and skills opportunities across key sectors. The development of context specific, inclusive, and responsible AI governance frameworks is critical to ensure that AI adoption aligns with regional values, strengthens social inclusion, and supports progress towards national development priorities and the SDGs. For Mauritania, developing a national AI ethics framework is a strategic priority to guide the responsible adoption and use of AI technologies in line with international standards and best practices. Such a framework will play a critical role in safeguarding fundamental rights, strengthening public trust in digital transformation, and enhancing institutional capacity for AI governance. It will also provide a foundation for fostering innovation, attracting investment, and ensuring that AI applications contribute to inclusive economic growth, improved public service delivery, and sustainable socio economic development. UN-ESCWA, through its technical cooperation program, is committed to provide technical assistance to its member states to boost national efforts towards the achievement of the 2030 Development Agenda. Recently, the Ministry of Digital Transformation and Modernization of Admin (MTNMA) in Mauritania requested UN-ESCWA’s assistance in developing the national framework of AI Ethics. The provision of this advisory service is the subject of these terms of reference. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the national framework for the AI code of ethics in Mauritania.

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. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report on personal data protection law. To produce the draft report, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Benchmarking and Best Practices • Review current national laws related to digital and emerging technologies in Yemen; • Review best regional and international practices in personal data protection law covering at least 2 regional cases and 2 international cases, with justification for case selection provided in the report; 2.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development states that good governance at all levels as well as transparent, effective and accountable institutions are necessary to build peaceful societies and achieve sustainable development. In this Agenda, specific measures are given to achieve such societies especially in Goal 16 “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”. Under this goal, the development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions (16.6), responsive, inclusive participatory and representative decision-making (16.7) and public access to information (16.10) are promoted as targets. To implement these targets, a partnership, between the Government, the private sector, civil society, other stakeholders (such as the public, and regional, sub-regional and international institutions) and citizens, is envisioned. Better governance and better public institutions are essential elements in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Technology and innovation provide governments with options to achieve the individual targets set out in Goal 16. Innovation in the public sector provides new processes, products and services that can either be new technologies or be supported by technologies that promotes access to information, inclusiveness, citizen participation, accountability, transparency and responsiveness. When the government adopts news technologies and openness as part of its paradigm, the possibility of collaboration, shared responsibility and co-decision-making, strengthens the government and empowers its citizens. The United Nations is involved in enhancing the use of emerging technologies for sustainable development. In September 2024 during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation. Recently, many Arab countries started developing/updating their national plans and strategies to reflect the aspects of digital government transformation. The Environment Quality Authority (EQA) in Palestine requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop their digital transformation strategy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital strategy to the Authority. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital transformation strategy. To produce the draft strategy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Palestine related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2.

Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Assessment of EQA available capabilities, including current IT infrastructure, equipment, services and platforms; 6.

Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and EQA.

[15 December 2026] All deliverables produced will become property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>5 Months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Post-2030 Agenda recognizes that fighting poverty according to all its forms is among the greatest global challenges and is indispensable for sustainable development. Meanwhile, across the developing world, poverty reduction has been slow and inconsistent. The case in point is the Arab region, where poverty has been rising over the past two decades due to various adverse shocks – notably the pandemic, recurring conflict, man-made and natural disasters, and global inflation. With the weight of this evidence, there is considerable concern regarding the capacity of Arab developing countries to recover and transition out of poverty in the coming years. To support its member States with designing policies for alleviating economic poverty according to various definitions, UN ESCWA has advanced novel approaches for measuring and projecting poverty and vulnerability consistently across countries and years. ESCWA’s recent publications on money metric poverty, inequality, and the middle class in Arab countries show poverty has been on the rise, particularly in low-income Arab countries. They also found that a substantial share of the middle class in middle income countries – defined through a social lens – was either consumption-poor or vulnerable to falling into poverty. These findings reveal the lived realities of socioeconomic insecurity and downward mobility in the region. Recent conflicts such as the ongoing War on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have further exacerbated deprivation and vulnerability by causing destruction and displacement, income shocks, and surging costs of fuels and other basic commodities. The War on Iran has also illustrated that no Arab subregion or country income group is immune to the impacts of conflict. Economic inequality does not drive the long-term poverty trends. In fact, income inequality has been stagnating or falling in much of the region, and wealth inequality has also been stagnating or even falling in Arab middle-income and high-income countries, even though it has risen in Arab least developed countries (LDCs). Trends in social inequalities corroborate the improved inclusiveness of the environment and socioeconomic opportunities across social groups such as men and women, and urban and rural households. This has given rise to the Arab Inequality Puzzle (World Bank, 2013). Understanding the role of countries’ economic growth and its trickledown to ordinary and vulnerable households is an important part of solving the poverty–inequality puzzle. While Arab economies at large have been expanding, most workers have not reaped benefits from this growth or from their own enhanced human capital. Earnings and returns to schooling have been stagnating or declining. The segmentation of Arab countries’ labour markets thus provides additional clues to solving the puzzle. The share of precarious jobs has been increasing in the past decade, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the technology-enabled proliferation of the informal platform and gig economy. Arab countries’ efforts to wean themselves off the resource extraction economy has also contributed to the attrition of decent jobs, as it has not been accompanied by an adequate creation of formal green jobs. Indeed, household income surveys point to the stagnation or decline in take-home incomes and consumption expenditures. Is it that their distribution in household surveys could be grossly underestimated? Indeed, recent studies suggest that misreporting and exclusion of certain households’ incomes typically underestimates the earnings distribution, particularly its top deciles. Purpose of the consultancy The forthcoming report attempts to resolve the Arab Inequality Puzzle with these stylized facts relying on the most recent national accounts data and household income and expenditure surveys for over 150 countries. The analytical focus and policy implications are primarily geared to Arab countries. In addition to elucidating the poverty–inequality nexus, which has important policy implications for Arab countries, the report’s second main objective is to produce a revised set of inequality measures that factor in the estimated missing top incomes. The accompanying database will complement ESCWA’s existing databases as well as the Money Metric Poverty and Inequality Assist Tool (MPAT) which are publicly available for researchers and policy makers in Arab countries and globally. Given the significance of the undertaking and the novelty of the tentative findings, ESCWA is recruiting a consultant to assist with the development of methodologies, and production and interpretation of new results for the forthcoming “Making Sense of the Poverty and Inequality Puzzle in Arab Countries” Report. The Consultant will conduct analysis, produce new results and their interpretation, and draft two new chapters for the Report, namely “Size of the middle class: trends and updates", and “Living conditions of the middle class,” including a section on "Trends in inequality perceptions.” Duties and responsibilities Reporting to the Poverty Project Coordinator, under the broad supervision of the Cluster Leader, the consultant will work closely with the Poverty Project team, assisting in the following areas: 1- Collect, synthesize, and analyze data on socioeconomic vulnerabilities and poverty levels including trends across time. 2- Draft a “Size of the middle class: trends and updates" chapter. 3- Draft a “Living conditions of the middle class” chapter, including a section on "Trends in inequality perceptions.” 4- Assist in other related tasks as requested by the supervisor.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A masters degree in economics, statistics or related fields is or related area is required.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development states that good governance at all levels as well as transparent, effective and accountable institutions are necessary to build peaceful societies and achieve sustainable development. In this Agenda, specific measures are given to achieve such societies especially in Goal 16 “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”. Under this goal, the development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions (16.6), responsive, inclusive participatory and representative decision-making (16.7) and public access to information (16.10) are promoted as targets. To implement these targets, a partnership, between the Government, the private sector, civil society, other stakeholders (such as the public, and regional, sub-regional and international institutions) and citizens, is envisioned. Better governance and better public institutions are essential elements in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Technology and innovation provide governments with options to achieve the individual targets set out in Goal 16. Innovation in the public sector provides new processes, products and services that can either be new technologies or be supported by technologies that promotes access to information, inclusiveness, citizen participation, accountability, transparency and responsiveness. When the government adopts new technologies and openness as part of its paradigm, the possibility of collaboration, shared responsibility and co-decision-making, strengthens the government and empowers its citizens. The United Nations is involved in enhancing the use of emerging technologies for sustainable development. In September 2024 during the Summit of the Future, world leaders adopted the Pact for the Future and its annexes: the Global Digital Compact (GDC) and Declaration on Future Generations. The GDC mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation. Globally, the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) market is projected to grow from USD 42.55 billion in 2025 to USD 55.36 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 5.4%. Digitally driven measures—such as smart logistics and improved asset utilization—could limit road freight CO₂ emission growth by up to 40% between 2019 and 2050. In the Arab region, 95% mobile broadband coverage — a critical enabler for connected mobility . The progressive integration of AI, IoT, GIS and ITS into national transport strategies across Member States, directly serving SDGs 9 and 11. Libya’s land transport sector faces acute structural challenges: a paved road network of approximately 34,000 km , one of the highest road-fatality rates in the world — publicly cited at around 73 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants against a global benchmark of roughly 20 , Digital transformation of land transport in Libya is expected to (i) reduce fatalities and injuries through intelligent traffic management, e-enforcement, GPS-based fleet supervision and connected-vehicle safety; (ii) modernise freight, customs and logistics operations through digital manifests, tracking and scheduling (iii) enhance public revenue and governance via digital tolling, licensing and vehicle registration; and (iv) anchor land transport within Libya’s broader digital transformation and economic recovery agenda. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop their digital transformation strategy. LTA is planning to develop a comprehensive framework to modernize its two main divisions: the Authorization Department and the Transport Affairs Department. This framework will encompass the registration and management of services provided to public vehicles, vehicle testing processes, and the delivery of permit services to individuals and businesses. Currently, most of these services rely on manually maintained Excel-based data, which increases the risk of errors and limits efficiency. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital transformation framework to LTA. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital transformation strategy. To produce the draft strategy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Libya related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to Digital Transformation Strategies and policies (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3. Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with LTA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals. This includes assessing institutional digital maturity of LTA, its main business processes, and the current data governance; 4. Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Prepare the needed digital transformation strategy based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis, national needs (SWOT analysis). This strategy would include phased implementation roadmap and change management component; 6. Present the draft report in a national workshop or meeting (physically or remotely) and capture the main comments and findings of the discussions; 7. Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and LTA. 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 ICT, technology, engineering, computer science or a related field is required.
