As Saudi Arabia deepens its integration into global trade networks and pursues economic diversification under Vision 2030, the ability to evaluate trade policies and external economic shocks in a timely, data-driven, and systematic manner has become critical. In this context, ESCWA partnered with the Ministry to strengthen its technical capacity for trade policy analysis. One of the key pillars of this effort is the development of advanced trade modeling and simulation toolkits that can inform strategic decision-making at both national and regional levels. A cornerstone of this initiative is the development of a regional trade simulator for the GCC’s countries. This simulator, to be aligned as much as possible to the Saudi’s sectoral structure of the input-output and supply-use tables, will serve as a third policy platform for analyzing integration scenarios among GCC countries themselves but also with the rest of the world. ESCWA is thus seeking the support of an economist to develop a harmonized GCC regional inter-linked Macro and Micro Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and a comprehensive database for building the baseline scenario for the period 2024–2035. The objective of this assignment is to develop a harmonized GCC regional inter-linked Macro and Micro Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and a comprehensive database to support the calibration of a regional trade simulator. Duties and Responsibilities The consultant will be asked to perform the following tasks: Using the updated national SAM’s for the six GCC’s countries developed by ESCWA in the context of the project on developing trade simulators for Saudi Arabia, the consultant will suggest a harmonized structure of the regional inter-linked SAMs. The regional interlinked SAM for GCC should be aligned as maximum as possible to the specific features of the national SAM of Saudi Arabia. Build the regional inter-linked Macro and Micro regional SAM using the national SAMs and additional data to be collected by the consultant. The Micro SAM should reflect the maximum of trade instruments being applied by Saudi Arabia. To do so, the consultant may use the appropriate estimation and balancing techniques such as RAS and Maximum Entropy techniques. Build the complete database for calibrating the regional trade simulator for the period 2024-2035.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in applied economics with a clear focus on developing SAMs and regional CGE models is required. A PhD is desirable. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree.

The country is undergoing a transitional phase marked by institutional reforms, evolving security conditions, increased international engagement, and strengthened coordination with neighboring Arab states. Over the past decade, the region has faced a range of cross-border challenges, including displacement and migration, border management pressures, economic disruptions, water and environmental challenges, infrastructure and energy constraints, and broader socio-economic vulnerabilities. The interconnected nature of these issues requires coordinated regional and subregional policy responses, as well as sustained international support, since many cross-border challenges cannot be effectively addressed by individual countries acting alone. ESCWA’s National Agenda for the Future of Syria (NAFS) programme has demonstrated through Benefit of Peace and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) scenario modelling that recovery and reconstruction in Syria could generate positive economic spillovers for neighboring countries, including increased growth, investment, trade, and employment, thereby reinforcing the value of regional cooperation. To support this objective, ESCWA seeks to prepare an analytical mapping paper examining the current landscape, opportunities for enhanced engagement and collaboration, and key areas for regional and subregional cooperation.

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. Most recently, the Ministry of Telecoms and Digital Economy (MoTDE) in Palestine requested UN-ESCWA’s assistance to develop the national policy for open source software. The provision of this advisory service is the subject of these terms of reference.

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.

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. 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 EQA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and realising 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. Assessment of EQA available capabilities, including current IT infrastructure, equipment, services and platforms; 6. Hold meetings with EQA departments to better understand EQA current digital status. This may include existing work procedures, process workflows, forms and interconnections between procedures, key business processes across departments and EQA offices in governorates and the HQ in Ramallah, Data centre project, EQA website, the need for AI systems if any. 7. Prepare the needed digital transformation strategy based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis, national needs (SWOT analysis) and technical analysis; 8. Present the draft report in a national workshop or meeting (physically or remotely) and capture the main comments and findings of the discussions; 9. Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and EQA. The final draft report includes the above-mentioned assessment, SWOT, the suggested strategy with timeframe of implementation of identified initiatives. 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.
