<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The ultimate result of this consultancy is a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness, adequacy, accessibility and responsiveness of cash assistance and care services provided to Older Persons in Palestine - in both West Bank and Gaza. The assessment will inform the Ministry’s of Social Development policy improvements and adjustments in these two areas.<br> Work Location<br>Palestine / Remote<br> Expected duration<br>4 Months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background In Palestine, prolonged socioeconomic challenges, conflict, displacement, and growing pressures on public institutions have heightened the vulnerability of older persons, particularly those living in poverty, experiencing disability, living alone, or requiring long-term care. In the West Bank, older persons continue to face multiple vulnerabilities associated with the prolonged occupation, including movement restrictions, increasing poverty, unequal access to essential services, and mounting economic pressures. In the Gaza Strip, the ongoing humanitarian crisis has further exacerbated these challenges, severely disrupting access to healthcare, social services, income security, and community support systems. The Ministry of Social Development has undertaken important reforms to strengthen the national social protection system through the implementation of its Strategy (2025–2027), the National Strategy for Older Persons (2021–2026), and broader initiatives related to the national social registry, case management systems, and multidimensional poverty reduction. Within this evolving policy landscape, cash assistance programmes and care services constitute two critical but complementary pillars of social protection for older persons. While cash transfers provide essential income security, their effectiveness depends on the availability, accessibility and quality of healthcare, long-term care and social services that enable older persons to maintain their dignity, independence and quality of life. Yet, evidence remains limited regarding the extent to which existing programmes effectively respond to the multidimensional needs of older persons, the adequacy of benefits and services, institutional coordination, and the overall impact of social protection interventions on their well-being. Against this backdrop, ESCWA is hiring a consultant to prepare a study to assess the effectiveness, adequacy, accessibility and responsiveness of cash assistance and care services for older persons in Palestine -including the West Bank and Gaza. The consultancy will generate evidence to inform future reforms and improvement of social protection policies and programmes for older persons. Duties and Responsibilities of the Consultant In close coordination with ESCWA and the Ministry of Social Development in Palestine, the consultant will: 1. Prepare an inception report for the study outlining the refined methodology, detailed workplan, sampling strategy, analytical framework, and proposed data collection instruments, including questionnaires, focus group discussion guides and key informant interview protocols. The inception report will also identify the key informants to be interviewed in West Bank and Gaza. 2. Conduct a comprehensive desk review of relevant literature, legislative and policy documents and administrative data. 3. Provide a snapshot of the demographic and socio-economic situation of older persons in Palestine –West Bank and Gaza. 4. Design and conduct quantitative and qualitative data collection processes including surveys, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and, where appropriate, interviews with caregivers in West Bank and Gaza. 5. Analyze and triangulate quantitative and qualitative findings and assess the effectiveness, adequacy, accessibility and responsiveness of cash assistance and care services in West Bank and Gaza. 6. Identify policy, institutional and operational gaps affecting programme implementation, coverage, targeting, coordination and service delivery in West Bank and Gaza. 7. Prepare the first draft of the study, including all annexes, references and data tables used in the analysis. 8. Revise the draft report based on comments received from ESCWA and the MoSD. 9. Present the main findings and policy recommendations during technical meetings, validation workshops or consultation sessions, if requested. 10. Coordinate closely with ESCWA and the Ministry throughout the data collection process to ensure methodological consistency, quality assurance and appropriate adaptation of fieldwork modalities to the operational context. 11. The consultant shall ensure full adherence to ethical research standards and compliance with stringent confidentiality and data protection standards.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Masters degree or equivalent degree in Social Policy, Public Policy, Development Studies, Sociology, Economics, Public Health, Statistics, Social Work, or another closely related discipline or related area is required.

Greater access to these resources and markets can expand productive capacity, improve resource allocation, facilitate investment and technology diffusion, and support diversification, productivity and economic resilience. However, macroeconomic instability, fragmented markets, weak productive capabilities, conflict and geopolitical uncertainty can limit these opportunities. Appropriate macroeconomic, trade, investment, industrial, financial and institutional policies are therefore critical for translating regional economic integration into sustainable economic transformation and shared prosperity. To address this gap, ESCWA proposes an analytical paper on Macroeconomic Performance and Policy Frameworks in the Arab Region. The paper will examine how access to markets and productive resources interacts with macroeconomic and structural conditions across Arab countries and identify policy priorities for strengthening productivity, diversification, resilience and sustainable economic transformation. Duties and Responsibilities The objective of the consultancy is to prepare an analytical paper on Macroeconomic Performance and Policy Frameworks in the Arab Region.

While the region possesses significant productive assets, many economies remain concentrated in a limited number of sectors, with diversification often occurring in relatively low-value-added activities. Greater access to markets and inputs, coupled with supportive macroeconomic policies, can broaden productive capabilities, enable the emergence of new and higher-value-added activities, accelerate economic diversification and build resilience to economic shocks. Realizing these opportunities requires dynamic private sectors, stronger technological and productive capabilities, and supportive industrial policies. Against this background, ESCWA proposes an analytical paper on Economic Diversification and Resilience in the Arab Region to assess diversification patterns, opportunities and constraints, and identify policy priorities. Duties and Responsibilities The objective of the consultancy is to prepare an analytical paper on Economic Diversification and Resilience in the Arab Region. The paper will assess patterns and drivers of diversification across Arab economies, examine how access to markets and productive capabilities can enable new economic activities, and identify policies for accelerating diversification and building resilience.

Examine data and assess trends over time at country and regional level. • Identify key constraints to diversification, including market fragmentation, commodity dependence, weak productive and technological capabilities, limited private-sector dynamism, financing constraints, skills gaps and institutional and regulatory barriers. • Discuss a framework of accelerating industrial development toward structural transformation, taking into account the assets and changing nature of economic activities across the region. • Develop policy recommendations for accelerating economic diversification and building resilience across the Arab region.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A PhD in economics or related field is required.

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.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>Project activities are effectively implemented, resulting in youth and persons with disabilities being better prepared for employment and actively connected to inclusive opportunities, thereby contributing to greater economic participation, autonomy, and independence.<br> Work Location<br>UN ESCWA/ Remotely<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background Youth inequality in Jordan has been rising since 2015 and now exceeds global and regional averages. Young people, particularly those with disabilities, face high levels of underemployment and exclusion from social and economic life. Despite legal frameworks that guarantee equality, persons with disabilities remain marginalized, with employment rates at only 21 per cent compared to 39 per cent for persons without disabilities. This exclusion is not only a social challenge but also an economic burden, costing the national economy an estimated $328 million annually. The barriers are both cultural—persistent misconceptions about productivity and cost—and structural, including inaccessible transport, unsuitable urban environments, and limited workplace accommodations. ESCWA has long been engaged in advancing disability inclusion and youth empowerment across the Arab region. Through its convening power, technical expertise, and regional mandate, ESCWA has supported national strategies, strengthened policy frameworks, and enhanced labour market statistics to promote inclusive development. In Jordan, ESCWA has produced policy briefs analyzing the challenges and opportunities for persons with disabilities. In 2025 the Government of Jordan formally requested ESCWA’s assistance in developing a national strategy for the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities, alongside technical support for programs aimed at connecting social assistance beneficiaries—including youth and persons with disabilities—to the labour market. In response, ESCWA is implementing the project “From Dependence to Dignity: Economic Empowerment for Persons with Disabilities and Youth in Jordan.” The project combines high-level policy reform with practical, demand-driven interventions. It focuses on three main areas: launching a national strategy for the economic empowerment of persons with disabilities; enacting reforms to bridge the national skills mismatch; and upgrading the skills of youth and persons with disabilities while connecting them to inclusive employment opportunities. Central to this effort is the enhancement of the Josour Initiative, which strengthens skills, employability, and job-matching opportunities for persons with disabilities and youth. By integrating these tools with Jordan’s national systems, the project aims to reduce inequalities, promote decent work, and empower marginalized groups to transition from dependence to dignity. Objective ESCWA seeks to hire an individual contractor to support the project “From Dependence to Dignity: Economic Empowerment for Persons with Disabilities and Youth in Jordan,” contributing to skills development, labour market access, and inclusive employment opportunities through the Josour platform, awareness campaigns, training, and private sector partnerships. Duties and Responsibilities: The individual contractor is requested to: General Project Support • Provide administrative and logistical support for project implementation, including meetings, workshops, and policy dialogues. • Draft and respond to routine correspondence and communications. • Compile, organize, and edit information for reports, work plans, presentations, and other project documents. • Proofread and edit texts for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to standards. • Prepare presentation and communication materials using appropriate technology and software. Josour Platform and Skills Development • Support the maintenance and enhancement of the Josour platform by ensuring regular updates on announcements, opportunities, and skills analysis, while providing ongoing user support. • Support awareness raising campaigns to increase enrollment of users, including persons with disabilities. • Support the mapping and engagement of potential partners across Arab countries. • Support in the collection and analysis of data on training participation, platform usage, and employment outcomes. • Assist in the preparation of agendas, info notes, presentations, and background material for meetings and activities. • Coordinate with partners and stakeholders on matters related to the Josour’s national chapters. • Contribute to evaluations to ensure activities remain inclusive, demand-driven, and responsive to beneficiary needs • Perform other related tasks as required.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in one of the following fields is required: Social Sciences, International Relations, Public Administration, Project Management, Social Policy, Social Development, or another relevant field.

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

GENERAL SCOPE Open-source software policies provide a strategic framework governing how public institutions assess, procure, use, develop, reuse and share software whose source code can be inspected, modified and redistributed under an appropriate open licence. Their importance for sustainable development extends well beyond the possibility of avoiding licence fees. When properly implemented, such policies can reduce the duplication of public investments, facilitate interoperability among government systems, increase transparency and auditability, enable solutions to be adapted to local languages and needs, and reduce excessive dependence on individual technology suppliers. They can also allow governments, universities, local companies and civil society organizations to collaborate on shared digital solutions, thereby strengthening national technological capabilities, creating opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises and supporting local digital employment. Open-source software solutions are particularly relevant to lower- and middle-income and crisis-affected countries because they can be reused and adapted rather than developed repeatedly from the beginning. The United Nations recognizes open-source software as an important category of digital public goods and calls for greater investment in such goods to advance the Sustainable Development Goals1. In this sense, open-source policies can contribute directly to SDG 9 on innovation and resilient infrastructure, SDG 16 on effective, accountable and inclusive institutions, and SDG 17 on partnerships, while also supporting digital services in health, education, social protection, agriculture and local government. Nevertheless, open-source adoption should not be treated as an automatic or purely cost-saving choice. Effective policies should address total cost of ownership, cybersecurity, software maintenance, licensing compliance, accessibility, data protection, documentation, technical support and long-term community governance. Several governments have institutionalized these principles. The European Commission’s Open Source Software Strategy promotes a “Think Open” approach through which European institutions are encouraged to use, share and contribute to open-source solutions, increase software reuse and strengthen technological control and collaboration across administrations. France has established a dedicated government open-source function, the code.gouv.fr platform and the Socle Interministériel de Logiciels Libres, a reference catalogue of open-source software recommended for use across the public administration. Within the Arab region, Saudi Arabia’s Digital Government Authority published a Free and Open-Source Government Software Strategy and an implementation guideline aimed at improving technology leadership, increasing efficiency in government IT spending, encouraging software and source-code reuse, and supporting the growth of the national digital economy. Egypt has also, since several years, adopted a national strategy supporting free and open-source software, while the Software Engineering Competence Center under the Information Technology Industry Development Agency serves as the government’s focal point for this field. For Palestine, an open-source software policy could become an important instrument for building affordable, resilient and nationally sustainable digital government. In a context of severe fiscal constraints and service-delivery arrangements, the systematic reuse of secure and proven software components could help reduce repeated development and licensing expenditure, while improving interoperability among ministries, municipalities and public institutions. Furthermore, requiring donor-funded digital projects to use open standards, provide adequate documentation and consider publication under suitable open-source licences could improve national ownership and prevent isolated systems from being abandoned after project financing ends. These benefits would require a phased implementation model based on an inventory of existing systems, open and interoperable technical standards, procurement rules that evaluate open-source and proprietary options fairly, security and privacy assessments, capacity-building programmes, and a central open-source programme office or coordination unit responsible for governance, licensing, reuse and sustainable maintenance. 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 GDC4 mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation.

The provision of this advisory service is the subject of these terms of reference.
