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. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the report outline. The proposed report should include the following sections: (1) Review best regional and international practices on Open-Source software policies, strategies and frameworks (at least 2 international and 2 regional practices); (2) Analyse the different existing policies and frameworks related to digital technologies in Palestine; (3) Review and further develop the draft National Open-Source Software Policy, including its technical annexes on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Cloud Computing, ensuring consistency between the main policy and its annexes and alignment with relevant national, regional and international good practices (4) Conduct interviews with the various stakeholders and summarize their remarks and observations, including representatives of public and private sectors to better capture the needs of all segments of society; (5) Suggest a draft policy based on international and regional practices, the background doc and the conducted interviews/meetings; (6) Present the draft policy in a consultative workshop/meeting. (7) Update the policy based on received comments from ESCWA, MoTDE and other stakeholders participating in the workshop. 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 and thereby ensure that the narrative language should be gender sensitive.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>An advanced university degree in digital technologies, software engineering or a related field is required; a Ph.D. is desirable.

The content of all outputs shall remain the sole property of ESCWA.<br> Work Location<br>Remote<br> Expected duration<br>6 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>Background The Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) launched the Advancing Digital Cooperation and Development – Arab States Action Programme (ADCD-ASAP) in 2020 to support Arab countries in harnessing digital technologies for sustainable development and accelerating the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The programme aims, among others, to strengthen regional and national digital policy frameworks, promote digital cooperation, and support evidence-based digital development strategies across the Arab region. Within this framework, and under the auspices of the Arab Telecom and Information Technology Council of Ministers (ATICM), and its resolution in December 2020, ESCWA and the League of Arab States (LAS) jointly established a joint project to Develop, Deploy and Constantly Upgrade the Arab ICT Strategy for the region, in the form of an Arab Digital Agenda as strategic living instrument for 10 years. The ADA is not an outcome, it is a journey of constant growth that is meant to cope with any future developments in the technology and related policies; to induce action at different fronts in all facets of technology, through it mechanism and through partnerships with UN bodies and Arab bodies; and to advance progress at member states level that can be measured and monitored. Accordingly, ESCWA and LAS worked with Member States, to co-develop, the Arab Digital Agenda/ICT Strategy (ADA 1.0 / ADAICTS), which serves as a regional strategic vision, compass and action-framework guiding Arab digital development efforts and supporting national digital development agendas, in all digital development areas. The process of co-developing by ESCWA and Member States of the first edition of the ADA took place during 2021-2022, through successive iterations and engagements, with Member States (through the ADA’s Core Research and Technical Cooperation Mechanism (CRTCM), the ADA’s Joint Technical Committee (JTC), the LAS Arab Working Group on Arab ICT Strategy, the LAS Arab Permanent Committee on ICTs, the LAS Arab Executive Bureau all the way up to the Council of Minsters; leading to the adoption of the final version of the 1st edition of the Arab Digital Agenda 2023-2033, by the ATICM on 23 January 2023 and by Arab ECOSOC in 9 February 2023, and by heads of States in 19 May 2023; with the promise of supporting its deployment and the expectation of constant update of the agenda and constant monitoring of member states progress in achieving its goals and targets using the agreed-upon instruments. The first milestone for all of the above will be towards the end of 2027. Overall Timeframes, Milestone and Nature of ADA 2.0 Building on the above, and under the umbrella of the ATICM, ESCWA and LAS are launching the process of co-developing with Member States the Second Edition of the Arab Digital Agenda (ADA 2.0); which is planned to be co-produced during the period of 2026-2027, with a target goal of adopting the second edition of the Arab Digital Agenda in its final form during the ATICM meeting of December 2027/January 2028. Accordingly, and based on the established work modalities, the first version of ADA 2.0 will need to be presented to the ATICM meeting scheduled for December 2026/January 2027. Towards this end, ESCWA is managing, during the second half of 2026, the first phase of ADA 2.0 sub-project to prepare for submitting the first version of the ADA2.0 to the respective LAS Arab Working Group on Arab ICT Strategy that is scheduled to be convened during November/December 2026, and subsequently to the LAS Arab Permanent Committee on ICTs, the LAS Arab Executive Bureau all the way up to the Council of Ministers during December 2026/January 2027. The envisaged ADA2.0 - as a comprehensive regional strategic framework and policy blueprint for digital development in the Arab region over the coming decade, aligned with international and regional digital cooperation priorities - is scheduled for the end of 2027 is planned to have two perspectives: 1-First, looking backward As part of its monitoring role, ADA2.0 will result a report on the progress of member countries in achieving the goals and targets of the ADA during the period between December 2022 and December 2027, namely the “Provisional Progress Report”,, marking the progress in the elapsing five years on the basic scope of ADA1.0, and will be finalized by the end of December 2027. As such, the work during 2026 along this perspective is specifically planned to result in a provisional version of this progress report (in four years only). During 2027, it will be updated in terms of value to reflect the five years; and more importantly, it will also be radically expanded in terms of scope during 2027, as per the second perspective below, producing the first baseline for the expanded scope. Hence, work on this perspective during the second half of 2026 is expected to produce around one third of the final report planned for end of 2027. The rest will be during 2027 benefiting from feedback from the Ministerial Council meeting of December 2026/January 2027. The work on this perspective will be supported by the ongoing third round of the National Digital Development Reviews (NDDRs 3.0), which will be reflected in the the Arab Digital Development Report (ADDR 3.0) that will accompany the ADA2.0 as it accompaniment flagship by the end of 2027. 2-Second, looking forward As part of its future orientation, strategizing and constant update role, ADA2.0 will: a. adapt to be in synch with the latest global mandates inscribed in the latest UNGA Resolution 80/173 of December 2025, and the preceding Global Digital Compact 2024. b. introduce an updated architecture for the basic scope of ADA 1.0 - defined by the 85 Goals, the 69 Targets and the 85 indicators (defined in the first edition of the ADA) c. expand the scope of the original ADA framework to address frontier, emerging and strategic policy areas shaping digital development globally and regionally. ADA2.0 will specifically witness an expanded scope that contains new thematic dimensions and indicators related to: • Artificial Intelligence (AI); • Emerging technologies; • Peaceful uses of outer space and geospatial technologies; • Environmental sustainability and green digital transformation; • Digital postal services and postal sector transformation. d. introduce a new architecture defining the goals and targets of the expanded scope in terms of additional Goals, Targets and indicators (in addition to the existing basic scope defined by the existing five-cluster ESCWA conceptual framework for digital development, which stands as the DNA of the whole process). These updates and expansions are based on the updated Guiding Manuals (GM 2.5)/(GM 3.0), as the common methodological framework underpinning the NDDRs, ADDR and ADA processes; and the Digital Development- Measurement and Monitoring Model (DD-MMM 1.5)/(DD-MMM 2.0), as the common framework for measurement, monitoring and assessment of digital development progress. The associated ESCWA newly produced addendums, developed by ESCWA in consultation with member countries and regional stakeholders during 2025-2026, are currently guiding the process of digital development reviews at national and regional levels during 2026-2027 and are considered an integral part of the envisaged ADA2.0. Hence, the work during 2026 along this perspective is specifically planned to result in a provisional version of the proposed new architecture to member countries, namely the “Provisional Proposed Architecture”, regarding the following aspects that will need to be worked on during 2027: the new architecture of the expanded scope and the newly introduced addendums, in terms of Goals, Targets and Indicators; the positioning of the new architecture of the addendums, vis-à-vis the existing architecture of the basic scope. the sustainability of the Digital Development indicators observatories at the national level. the periodicity of the next milestones for monitoring progress. advancing partnerships and alliances between ADA and the partners of various thematic subprogrammes. Hence, work on this perspective during the second half of 2026 is expected to produce around one third of the final version of ADA 2.0 planned for end of 2027. The rest will be during 2027 benefiting from feedback from the Ministerial Council meeting of December 2026/January 2027. Purpose and Objectives of this assignment In summary, the consultancy subject to this assignment aims to support ESCWA and LAS in producing the first version of ADA 2.0, within the following contexts: • The NDDRs 3.0, ADDR 3.0 and ADA 2.0 processes constitute three interlinked components of a single regional policy cycle. o NDDRs 3.0 provides the national evidence base, o ADDR 3.0 provides the regional analytical synthesis, and o ADA 2.0 translates these findings into a regional strategic framework and implementation roadmap for digital development and digital cooperation in the Arab region. • This process is further anchored in United Nations General Assembly resolution 80/173 on the WSIS+20 review, which reaffirms the role of the United Nations regional commissions as regional mechanisms for implementation and follow-up of WSIS outcomes and calls for scaling up policy guidance, technical assistance, capacity-building and partnerships in support of digital development. • ADA 2.0 constitutes the regional strategic policy framework through which Arab countries will operationalize regional commitments related to WSIS+20, the Global Digital Compact, the Pact for the Future, Arab Vision 2045 and the Arab Digital Agenda 2023–2033, while contributing to the implementation of Arab Vision 2045 through digital development, digital cooperation and digital transformation pathways.

<h2 class="h5">Job description</h2><div class="t-break" data-jb-field="description"><span class="rtl" dir="rtl"> Result of Service<br>**Final Results of the Service** * Organize and implement a national workshop that forms a key basis for developing the National Guide, during the period from September to October 2026; * Prepare and complete the National Guide by the end of November 2026; * Prepare and provide inputs for a capacity-building program aimed at strengthening institutional and coordination mechanisms necessary for mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into sectoral and local policies and strategies, by the end of December 2026. .<br> Work Location<br>Remotely<br> Expected duration<br>5 months<br> Duties and Responsibilities<br>## Background In order to build fairer and more sustainable societies, it is essential to mainstream women's needs and priorities and empower them in sectoral and local policies and strategies. This ensures that laws are free from discrimination and bias, and that men and women have equal access to positions, services, assets, and information, thereby ensuring the rights of all members of society. Approaches to mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into policies and strategies, as well as in national institutions, have gained significant importance due to the immense changes witnessing in societies, particularly demographic dynamics, escalating economic and social challenges, climate change, and rapid technological advancement. Neglecting the adoption of systematic and deliberate government-led methods to verify the mainstreaming of women's needs and priorities into all policies and strategies and their empowerment exposes women to further marginalization, ignores their capabilities and potential, and misses significant opportunities for their effective contribution to economic and social development. The Government of Iraq has consistently affirmed that sustainable development can only be achieved if all segments of society contribute to it and benefit from its results and gains, especially the most vulnerable groups, primarily Iraqi women, who constitute half the population and play a pivotal role in building families and strengthening society. Based on this, and relying on the principle of citizenship stipulated in the 2005 Constitution of the Republic of Iraq, which guarantees equality between all Iraqi men and women without discrimination, and in accordance with Iraq Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals, the Ministry of Planning in Iraq, in cooperation with the National Department for Iraqi Women and all relevant stakeholders, is working on preparing a National Guide for mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into sectoral and local policies and strategies, with technical support from ESCWA. This guide is of great importance as it is the first national guide of its kind on mainstreaming women's needs and priorities and empowering them in policies and strategies, as well as in national institutions in Iraq, and it is relied upon to set clear mechanisms and standards for the mainstreaming process in the state's development plans, with the aim of enhancing women's economic, social, and political empowerment. It also holds special importance as it will be considered a reference document for all ministries and national institutions, providing guidance for the design and implementation of development policies, strategies, programs, and projects aimed at empowering women. Thereby, it contributes to advancing social justice by maximizing the effectiveness and impact of public spending programs. This guide specifically aims to: * Provide a unified national framework for the efforts of all national institutions to mainstream women's needs and priorities into development planning; * Ensure the systematic mainstreaming of women's needs and priorities in the design of policies, strategies, programs, and projects; * Enhance women's economic and social empowerment and their contribution to sustainable development; * Improve the efficiency of public resource allocation to achieve more inclusive and equitable development outcomes; * Support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals; * Encourage the use of data disaggregated by sex, age, and location in planning and policy-making; * Develop indicators to monitor and evaluate the impact of policies and programs aimed at enhancing social justice. This guide represents an important step in enhancing development planning to ensure women's equal access to positions, services, assets, and information. It provides planning teams and decision-makers in relevant ministries and institutions with a clear roadmap for mainstreaming women's needs and priorities into sustainable development planning. As a reference document, it is based on constitutional and legal frameworks and national strategies, translating them into practical and applicable mechanisms across all sectors. ## Objective and Methodology In this context, ESCWA seeks to contract an international consultant to support the implementation of this initiative in its four components, which are organizing a first national workshop, developing a national guide, designing and implementing a national capacity-building program, and organizing a final national workshop to disseminate the guidance document among ministries and relevant national stakeholders. ## Tasks and Responsibilities The consultant will be responsible for the following tasks: * Review relevant documents to understand the Ministry's mandate, its mode of operation, and the nature of its outputs; and rely on inputs provided by the national consultant provided by UN Women to review relevant national policies, strategies, and programs; * Assist in preparing and participating in a national workshop, which aims to develop a shared understanding among all stakeholders of the challenges the initiative seeks to address, the available potentials and resources that can be mobilized, and the coordination mechanisms necessary to advance social justice in sectoral and local policies and strategies; * Prepare a draft national guide that serves as a basis for a unified knowledge framework to support comprehensive, evidence-based development planning, and verify its validity in cooperation with the relevant teams from ESCWA, UN Women, and the Ministry of Planning in Iraq; * Prepare the final version of the guide based on the outcomes of the national workshop, and including feedback received from the working team; * Provide inputs for the design and implementation of a national capacity-building program aimed at strengthening the institutional and coordination mechanisms necessary to activate the mainstreaming of women's needs and priorities into sectoral and local policies and strategies. This contract is part of a joint initiative between ESCWA and UN Women, prepared and agreed upon in cooperation with the Ministry of Planning and the National Department for Iraqi Women, consisting of four interrelated components: (1) holding a national workshop with the aim of building a shared understanding among stakeholders regarding challenges, existing capacities, and coordination requirements; (2) preparing the National Guide; (3) developing a national capacity-building program and establishing an institutional mechanism for follow-up; and (4) holding a final national workshop to disseminate the guidance document among ministries and relevant national stakeholders.
