Work Location<br>UN-House ESCWA<br> Expected duration<br>6<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background: ESCWA launched in 2022 the “Josour” initiative during the first Arab Forum for Equality in Amman. The initiative aims to reduce inequalities in the Arab region by creating employment opportunities for young people, enhancing their skills, and providing training to improve their employability. It serves as a regional platform that connects youth with institutions and the private sector, fosters collaboration across different actors, and equips young people with the tools and opportunities needed to contribute meaningfully to inclusive and sustainable development. The initiative emerged from the recognition of inequality as a pressing challenge in the Arab region. In its 2022 report "Inequality in the Arab Region: A Ticking Time Bomb," ESCWA highlighted youth unemployment as a major driver of inequality, with rates reaching 26 percent in 2021—more than double the global average of 12 percent. To address this, ESCWA convened the Arab Forum for Equality in Jordan in May 2022, focusing on empowering youth to confront inequality. The Forum culminated in the launch of the Josour initiative, which continues to grow as a regional platform for youth empowerment. Josour continues to grow steadily as a dynamic regional platform for youth empowerment. The initiative now counts more than 65 opportunity providers, with 3 national chapters established, and offers more than 400 opportunities to engage young people directly.

In Lebanon, Law No. 463/2002 established a framework for sentence reduction and entrusted this task to the Sentence Reduction Commission. Each of the two sub-commissions consists of a judge appointed by the Minister of Justice, the head of the prison's central directorate, a medical doctor specialized in psychiatry, and a social worker, with both specialists designated by the Minister of Justice. The director of the relevant prison or facility serves as an ad hoc member, depending on the case under review. To address the increasing workload, the Minister of Justice also appointed an additional social worker to support both sub-commissions. However, the Commission's operations have been quasi-paralyzed for over two years due to a lack of support for the medical doctors and social workers, who are essential for providing the necessary assessments for each case. This has hindered the Commission's ability to fulfill its critical role in addressing prison overcrowding.

<p>BACKGROUND Lebanon stands at a pivotal juncture in its governance and reform trajectory. Despite years of overlapping crises, the country has made landmark progress in building an integrity and anti-corruption framework. This includes the adoption and partial implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy , the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), and major legislative reforms concerning access to information, illicit enrichment, whistleblower protection, asset declaration, and public procurement. These milestones have laid the groundwork for the most coherent accountability architecture in Lebanon s recent history. However, these achievements remain fragile amid a deep economic collapse, weakened institutions, and eroded public trust. While the strategic and legal frameworks are largely in place, implementation and enforcement mechanisms remain underdeveloped, and coordination among oversight institutions remains limited. The evaluation of the National Anti-Corruption Strategy highlighted the urgent need to consolidate progress by operationalizing national mechanisms, strengthening institutional capacities, and embedding corruption-risk management practices across public institutions. In this context, the Integrity in ACTion Project was established with the objective of improving the implementation of an institutionalized and targeted approach to preventing and combating corruption. This will be achieved through improved coordination, operationalized oversight, enhanced preventive and enforcement mechanisms, and institutionalized integrity and risk-management practices, thereby advancing transparency, accountability, and public trust. The Project is designed to achieve this objective through the following three outputs: Output 1: Institutional capacities to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the National Anti-Corruption Strategy are strengthened and operationalized through participatory and inclusive mechanisms. Output 2: Legal frameworks and oversight institutions for preventing and combating corruption are strengthened and effectively operationalized. Output 3: Sectoral Corruption Risk Management mechanisms and integrity systems are strengthened across key public sectors. Building on the progress achieved by the Integrity in ACTion Project across all outputs, UNDP is seeking to contract a Stakeholders Content Development and Management Consultant. The Consultant will support the planning and implementation of communication and visibility activities for the National Anti-Corruption Strategy , the National Anti-Corruption Commission, and Sectoral Corruption Risk Management initiatives. This will include developing clear communication materials, digital and media content, and public awareness products.

Task 2: Communication Support for the National Anti-Corruption Commission • Support the Commission s institutional, digital, and media communications, including social media, website content, news items, and public information materials. • Prepare biweekly media round-ups and periodically review social media and website performance, audience engagement, reach, and interaction, with recommendations for improvement. • Support the development of consistent communication tools, success stories, and capacity-building activities for NACC staff and volunteers. Task 3: Communication Support for Sectoral Corruption Risk Management • Support the communication and visibility of Sectoral Corruption Risk Management activities, results, institutional reforms, and lessons learned. • Prepare communication materials that translate technical achievements into accessible messages, stories, and digital content. • Support the organization, documentation, and communication of related meetings, workshops, training sessions, and public events. EXPECTED OUTPUTS AND DELIVERABLES The Consultant is expected to complete the tasks and activities outlined above. The total duration of the assignment shall not exceed four months, with a maximum of 10 working days per month. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS The designated Project Manager or institutional focal points will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the contract. • UNDP will provide the Consultant with all necessary project-related materials in a timely, thorough, and transparent manner. UNDP will also provide the necessary clarifications and facilitate the completion of the work. • Daily transportation between the Consultant s home and office shall be covered by the Consultant s own means. The Consultant shall rely on their own means of communication and transportation. • Title rights, copyrights, and all other rights of any nature relating to materials produced under the provisions of these Terms of Reference shall be vested exclusively in UNDP. UNDP shall retain full ownership of the activity and its final products. • Any public reference to the activity, including through social media, must clearly acknowledge UNDP s ownership.
