<p>Promoting fair and competitive markets is a key driver of economic efficiency, private-sector development, and consumer welfare. Across the Arab region, markets are undergoing rapid transformation driven by diversification efforts, evolving regulatory frameworks, digitalization, and global supply-chain shifts. These developments have increased the need for rigorous legal, regulatory, and competition analysis to help governments identify market distortions, assess anti-competitive practices, and design effective, evidence-based policy interventions. Within this context, ESCWA supports member States in strengthening competition frameworks, improving market performance, and building institutional, legal, and analytical capacities for competition assessment and enforcement. The Competition and Consumer Policies portfolio in the Economic Governance and Planning Section combines regional policy development, country-level technical assistance, market studies, capacity-building, and knowledge products, often in close collaboration with national competition authorities and other public institutions. A key area of focus is the use of competition-based market studies to identify structural, behavioral, regulatory, and legal constraints affecting market performance. These studies serve as practical tools for diagnosing market failures, reviewing the adequacy of legal and institutional frameworks, supporting enforcement priorities, and guiding reforms that enhance efficiency, resilience, and consumer welfare. Within this broader regional mandate, ESCWA is currently supporting the Sultanate of Oman in strengthening competition conditions in priority economic sectors. The building materials sector, which is central to construction, infrastructure development, and industrial activity, has been identified as a strategic area for in-depth analysis. The sector plays a critical role in national development yet faces challenges related to market structure, supply chains, pricing dynamics, regulatory requirements, institutional arrangements, and potential anti-competitive practices. To respond to these needs, ESCWA seeks to engage a Legal Competition Consultant to support legal, regulatory, policy, and technical work under the Competition and Consumer Policies portfolio. The consultant will be assigned primarily to the Oman building materials market study and will contribute to legal assessments, competition law and policy analysis, review of regulatory and institutional frameworks, and the identification of legal or procedural constraints affecting market competition. The consultant may also provide support to other related competition-policy activities of the section, as required and in line with the needs of the assignment.</p><p>Under the overall supervision of the Project Manager and Economic Affairs Officer, the Consultant will support the legal and regulatory analysis of ESCWA s work on competition policy, market studies, and business regulation. The Consultant will primarily support the legal analysis of the XB project for Oman building materials sector, while also providing legal and regulatory inputs to related work on market functioning, competition, consumer protection, and business regulations, as required and within the scope of the assignment.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><ul><li>A Master's degree or equivalent in law, business law or related areas is required.

<p>VA No.: UNDP/LBN/VA26/131</p><p>Position Title: National Consultant - Two Medical Doctors Specialized in Psychiatry to Support the Commission of Reduction of Sentences</p><p>Duty Station: Home-based, with attendance at meetings at the Commission of Reduction of Sentences' headquarters and visits to prisons as required to assess inmates.</p><p>Duration: 4 months (without exceeding 5 working days per month)</p><p>Vacancy Date of Issue: 03 August 2026</p><p>Vacancy Closure Date: 10 August 2026</p><p>National or International consultancy: National consultancy</p><p>To review the full Terms of Reference (TOR), please follow link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sjbukae8e2kt50e6A5zZYeOT_-wktxH_/view?usp=drive_link</p><p>Background UNDP has been actively supporting efforts to alleviate prison overcrowding and enhance access to justice through various initiatives. 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. In this context, and as part of its ongoing commitment to improving access to justice, UNDP seeks to recruit two (2) Medical Doctors specialized in psychiatry to support the Commission in processing the cases of prisoners seeking sentence reduction.</p><p>Scope of work, responsibilities and description of the proposed analytical work Under the overall guidance of the project's Chief Technical Advisor or Project Officer, and in close coordination with the Commission of Reduction of Sentences, the Medical Doctors will support the Commission across the different governorates, according to the Commission's geographic distribution of files, by assessing prisoners' medical condition before sentence-reduction decisions are issued.</p><p>To achieve this objective, the Consultants are expected to:</p><ul><li>Assess prisoners' files from a medical and psychiatric perspective.</li><li>Draft and submit scientific reports to the Commission to inform its sentence-reduction decisions.</li><li>Provide the necessary medical opinion regarding the reduction of a prisoner's sentence based on their medical and psychiatric condition.</li><li>Provide expert opinion during deliberations on the impact and relevance of mental-health factors in specific cases.</li><li>Collaborate with the Commission on any other required tasks.</li></ul><p>Expected outputs and deliverables The Consultants are expected to complete the tasks and activities described above and submit bi-monthly progress reports. Each Medical Doctor must assess a minimum of 20 cases every two months. The reports shall describe progress in assessing inmates' cases and provide disaggregation by type of case, gender, age, geographic location, and nationality.</p><p>Institutional arrangements</p><ul><li>The work is expected to start upon contract signature.</li><li>The Consultant will work under the overall guidance of the designated UNDP focal point, in close coordination with the Commission of Reduction of Sentences and its President.</li><li>The Consultant will rely on their own means of communication and transportation. Transportation and communication costs should be included in the Consultant's financial offer.</li><li>All title rights, copyrights, and other rights in any material produced under the Terms of Reference will be vested exclusively in UNDP. Any public mention or appearance related to the activity must acknowledge UNDP's ownership and be coordinated with and approved by UNDP.</li><li>In the event of any delay, the Consultant shall inform UNDP promptly so that decisions and remedial action may be taken. Delays affecting collaborative work or the timely delivery of outputs may lead to termination of the contract.</li><li>UNDP reserves the right to commission additional inputs, reviews, or revisions as needed to ensure the quality and relevance of the work.</li></ul><p>Duration of work The assigned duration for this consultancy is four (4) months, without exceeding five (5) working days per month. The assignment is expected to commence on 2 September 2026 and be completed by 2 January 2027.</p><p>Duty station The consultancy shall be home-based, with attendance at meetings at the Commission of Reduction of Sentences' headquarters and visits to prisons as required to assess inmates.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p><p>STANDARD MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS</p><p>Education A Doctor of Medicine degree with specialization in Psychiatry.</p><p>Experience At least four (4) years of professional experience in the medical psychiatric field, whether as a University Professor, practitioner, or in another relevant capacity in the psychiatric field.</p><p>Language Knowledge of Arabic is required.
