<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2> <div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"> Result of Service<br>The consultant will design a study that provides a blueprint for building the RTIS, including technical and institutional aspects.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>2 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background and Objective The United Nations has proclaimed the Decade of Sustainable Transport 2026–2035 to accelerate a just, low-carbon, and inclusive transition in the transport sector. The Sustainable Transport Action Plan for the decade sets targets and indicators across domains including mobility, decarbonization, road safety, accessibility, resilience, and affordability. To track progress regionally and support member states in aligning national monitoring a Regional Transport Information System (RTIS) is required. This system will collect, harmonize, validate, and visualize transport data from multiple countries, enabling evidence-based policy dialogue and progress reporting against the Decade’s goals. Currently, transport data across the region is fragmented, non-comparable, and often inaccessible. No central mechanism exists to aggregate indicators relevant to the UN Decade’s targets (e.g., GHG emissions per passenger-km, share of active mobility, road fatalities, electric vehicle penetration). Objective The objective of this consultancy is to develop a comprehensive, actionable Feasibility Study and Implementation Roadmap for a Regional Transport Information System (RTIS) that enables member states and regional bodies to monitor, report, and benchmark progress on the Sustainable Transport Action Plan 2026–2035. Duties and Responsibilities The consultant will design a study that provides a blueprint for building the RTIS, including technical and institutional aspects. The consultant shall specifically design: A- Needs and Gap Assessment Map existing national transport data systems, indicators, and reporting cycles in the region. Identify gaps relative to the UN Decade’s monitoring framework (e.g., missing disaggregation by gender/age, lack of emissions data). B- Technical Architecture Design Propose a federated or centralized data model (including metadata standards, APIs, data sharing protocols). Define core indicators: minimum set for the Decade, plus optional expansion. Specify requirements for data validation, quality assurance, and interoperability with national systems. Recommend open-source or commercially available platforms (with cost-benefit comparison). C- Institutional and Governance Framework Define roles and responsibilities: regional hub, national focal points, technical working group. Propose data ownership, access rights, confidentiality, and data sharing agreements. Outline a capacity-building plan for member states. D- Implementation Roadmap Phased timeline with milestones, risks, and dependencies. Pilot testing approach (2–3 willing member states). Integration with existing UN frameworks (e.g., SDGs, Sendai Framework, Paris Agreement).<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>Master's degree in planning transport, data science, information systems, public policy, or related field is required. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. At least 10 years of experience in transport data systems, regional integration projects, or M&amp;E frameworks for sustainable transport is required.

<p>Result of Service The consultant will design and pilot a small set of policy lenses that extract structured, comparable representations from policy documents, and demonstrate their value on a bounded corpus from a small number of ESCWA member States, in a form that ESCWA can evaluate and extend afterward. The assignment is a feasibility pilot, not a production system: one policy domain, three to five countries, three to five lenses, evaluated qualitatively with policy-expert input. Work Location Remote Expected duration 6 months Duties and Responsibilities Background: The Decision Support and Data Science Division (DSDS) of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) seeks a part-time consultant to design and pilot Policy Lens, a structured evidence-synthesis approach for policy documents. Comparing how several countries approach a policy issue means reading many national strategies, evaluations and progress reviews, written years apart and with uneven rigour. Patterns across the set: shared causal assumptions, claims backed by evidence versus simply asserted, targets - are hard to see even when the information is in the text. Policy Lens addresses this by applying an analytical lens to the whole document set at once. Each lens rests on a frame: a defined structure with specific fields that every document maps onto, so outputs are comparable across documents rather than readable one at a time. Examples include a Theory of Change lens, an evidence-strength lens and a gap-detection lens. ESCWA already operates two LLM-based systems: Mustashar, a retrieval-augmented question-answering system, and Naseej, an interactive multi-agent system that drafts substantive policy reports and briefs based on a UN knowledge corpus. Both produce prose for a human reader; neither produces structured, comparable representations. Policy Lens is intended as complementary infrastructure that can feed more reliable, structured material into both. The intended source corpus is the Arab Development Portal (ADP), whose Knowledge Hub documents are already tagged by country, SDG and theme, alongside structured indicator data and an SDG data-availability tracker. This lowers the extraction burden for descriptive and gap-detection lenses in a pilot. Duties and responsibilities: Under the supervision of the Chief of DSDS, the consultant will: 1. Design the lens framework. Articulate the lens/frame concept and develop a taxonomy of lenses (descriptive/comparative, causal, gap-detection), with a justification for Theory of Change as the starting point for the causal category. 2. Apply political-neutrality safeguards. Build neutrality into lens design, especially gap-detection lenses, framing findings as opportunities for regional learning or support rather than as country scorecards. 3. Scope the pilot corpus with ESCWA. Agree on one policy domain and three to five countries and select well-structured English-language documents (national strategies, official reports) from ADP and other sources ESCWA provides. 4. Specify and test three to five pilot lenses. Include at least one descriptive lens (e.g. SDG Alignment), one causal lens (e.g. Theory of Change) and one gap-detection lens (e.g. Population Coverage), each with a defined extraction schema. 5. Build a simple extraction and comparison pipeline. Implement three stages extraction, structuring into the lens schema, output generation using LLM APIs within the budget ESCWA confirms, and leveraging existing ADP metadata and indicator data where possible. 6. Produce structured outputs for policymakers. Generate tables, comparison views and simple visualizations (e.g. a theory-of-change diagram per country). 7. Run an expert validation round. Coordinate a lightweight qualitative review of outputs by experts ESCWA identifies, focused on substantive accuracy, and document findings and error patterns. 8. Recommend integration paths. Assess concretely how Policy Lens outputs could feed Naseej (as structured source material for briefs) and Mustashar (as a structured index alongside text retrieval), in consultation with the teams that own those systems. 9. Document and hand over. Deliver code, schemas, prompts and documentation in ESCWA's repositories so the work can be reproduced and extended. 10. Prepare a methods paper (best effort). Draft a methods-oriented paper on the lens/frame approach, grounded in pilot results, for possible submission with ESCWA clearance. Languages English and French are the working languages of the United Nations Secretariat; and Arabic is a working language of ESCWA. For this position, fluency in English is required. Note: Fluency equals a rating of fluent in all four areas (speak, read, write, and understand) and Knowledge of equals a rating of confident in two of the four areas.

<p>Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, the situation in Lebanon remains unstable, with localized incidents, including strikes reported in southern Lebanon. The June 2026 ceasefire has allowed for partial and phased returns of displaced populations, particularly in areas where active hostilities have subsided. The situation is compounded by Lebanon ongoing macroeconomic and institutional crisis which continues to limit recover capacity.
