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 Generative AI (GenAI) represents a transformative leap in AI, capable of producing human-like content, automating creative tasks, and enhancing productivity across diverse sectors. 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. 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 GenAI Guidelines in Mauritania. The expert will be responsible for the following tasks, organized into four phases: Phase 1: Review and Diagnostic • Review best regional and international best practices related to GenAI policies and guidelines (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); • Define the risks associated with the Gen AI application in Mauritania across different sectors. • Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with MTNMA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and provide a summary of each meeting/interview of the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals; • Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed. Phase 2: Development and Drafting • Prepare the needed GenAI Guidelines based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis and national needs (SWOT analysis). Those guidelines should include: - Acceptable use cases for GenAI in public sector in specific; - Type of data that could be used by GenAI; - Transparency and disclosure requirements (e.g., AI-generated content labeling); - Human oversight and accountability; - Data privacy and security considerations; - Intellectual property and content ownership; - Risk mitigation for bias, misinformation, and manipulation. • Ensure alignment with Jordan’s AI strategy and public administration reform agenda. Phase 3: Consultation and Finalization • Contribute to national workshop (physically or remotely) and capture the main comments and discussions. • Update the draft proposal according to all feedback and comments received during the reviewing process by ESCWA and MTNMA teams. • Prepare a short presentation and briefing note summarizing key elements. Phase 4: Advice on Implementation • Provide recommendations on dissemination, and awareness-raising, and implementation. 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.

<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles & Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p>Work Location Remote Expected duration 2 months Duties and Responsibilities I. Background The Arab region has the highest inequality in the world, and it is growing. The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) has launched a project entitled Inequality in the Arab region , to better understand the nature of the multidimensional and overlapping inequalities faced by people in the Arab region, to identify key drivers, and provide policy solutions to policymakers for addressing these inequalities. The project has three components: (1) a flagship study on a thematic aspect of multidimensional inequality; (2) a high-level forum held annually in June; and (3) practical initiatives on the country level in addressing a specific theme of multidimensional inequality. The 2027 Intergenerational Inequality Report will mark a turning point in how the Arab region understands and prepares for the future of inequality. Building on UNESCWA s multidimensional inequality framework and the Arab Vision 2045, the 2027 edition will adopt a strategic foresight lens to anticipate how inequality could evolve over the next two decades, and what can be done today to shape more equitable futures. The Arab region stands at a crossroads. Structural inequalities (economic, social, gendered, spatial, and generational) are intersecting with accelerating technological, environmental, and geopolitical transformations. Artificial intelligence, demographic transitions, climate stress, and shifting labour markets are altering opportunity landscapes and intergenerational mobility. A foresight component will enable UNESCWA to move beyond trend extrapolation to explore plausible, diverse, and disruptive futures of inequality in the Arab region. It will provide policymakers, researchers, and youth with an evidence-informed, imagination-driven foundation for long-term policy action. ESCWA seeks to engage an intern to support the 2027 Inequality in the Arab region report, including questioning how the future scenarios developed for the region will impact multidimensional inequalities. II. Tasks and Deliverables The intern is requested to: Support analysis of multidimensional inequality in the Arab region in 2045 Draft at least 1 policy write-up for the inequality solutions portal Support other areas of the inequality portfolio as requested Support small tasks in the run-up to the Arab Forum for Equality, depending on time and need.</p></div></section><section><p class="heading">Desired Candidate Profile</p><p class="paragraph"></p><h2>Qualifications/special skills</h2><p>To qualify for an internship with the United Nations Internship Programme, the following conditions must be met:</p><ol><li>Applicants must: (a) be enrolled in a graduate school programme (Second university degree or equivalent, or higher); (b) be enrolled in the final academic year of a first university degree programme (minimum bachelor's level or equivalent); or (c) have graduated with a university degree (as defined above);</li><li>Applicants must: (a) be computer literate in standard software applications.

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>I. 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.

<p>Strengthening regional connectivity is increasingly being discussed among policy makers as a strategic pathway for enhancing resilience, accelerating economic integration and unlocking the development potential of the Arab region. The level of regional connectivity depends not only on infrastructure and cross-border flows, but also on the region's strategic assets, investment and financing ecosystems, and institutional readiness. The Arab region possesses substantial strategic assets , including natural (i.e., oil and gas reserves), physical (i.e., ports and maritime infrastructure), human (i.e., population and skill), financial (i.e., SWFs and capital markets), technological (i.e., AI and digital) and cultural (i.e., shared language, heritage sites). Yet these assets have not always translated into stronger regional connectivity. Understanding the factors that enable or constrain this transformation is therefore essential for designing effective regional policies and investment strategies. Although several international indices measure specific dimensions of connectivity such as logistics, maritime transport, innovation or digital readiness none provides an integrated assessment of regional connectivity by linking connectivity outcomes with the strategic assets, investment ecosystems and institutional conditions that underpin them. Nor do they examine how these factors collectively contribute to long-term regional prosperity. To address this gap, ESCWA proposes the Arab Regional Connectivity and Prosperity Framework (ARCPF). The Framework provides an integrated analytical approach for assessing regional connectivity and its key enablers and constraints to unlock the Arab region's prosperity potential. It examines how strategic regional assets, investment and financing ecosystems, and institutional readiness collectively shape regional connectivity, and how stronger connectivity contributes to greater resilience, deeper regional integration, and higher shared prosperity.</p><p>The consultancy is related to producing a comprehensive technical paper on the theme of regional connectivity and prosperity with two parts: (a) a conceptual framework with theoretical foundations, methodological validation of the index, its components, and indicators framework; (b) the empirical analysis for the region with reference to other global regions, based on the results of the index and the component indices, policy implications and recommendations.</p><p>Under the overall guidance of ESCWA, the consultant will undertake the following tasks:</p><ul><li>Develop and refine the conceptual framework for the Regional Connectivity and Prosperity Index, building on ESCWA's initial proposal and strengthening it through international literature, economic theory, empirical evidence and international best practice.
