<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.

The request aims to strengthen the capacity of PCBS staff to identify, assess, mitigate and monitor risks that may affect the production of official statistics, in accordance with the Generic Statistical Business Process Model (GSBPM). The GSBPM will serve as the main reference framework for linking risk management to the phases of statistical production. This support is particularly relevant in the Palestinian context, where political, security and humanitarian conditions may affect field data collection, access to certain areas and population groups, staff mobility, administrative data flows, digital infrastructure, dissemination, and the continuity of statistical production. ESCWA will provide the requested support with the assistance of an international consultant. The proposed support will focus on enabling PCBS staff to develop a practical and applicable approach for managing risks related to statistical work according to the GSBPM phases, strengthening institutional preparedness, continuity, quality and reliability of official statistics, and ensuring alignment with the existing national strategy for the development of statistics and coordination requirements within the National Statistical System. Technical support is expected to start remotely during the initial phase. It may subsequently be built upon through more interactive technical support and capacity-development modalities, including in-person technical meetings, face-to-face training or a hybrid format, whenever feasible, as a future direction to be considered in light of progress and available resources. Duties and Responsibilities Under the overall supervision of ESCWA's Project Coordinator and in close coordination with PCBS, the consultant will: 1. Undertake a review of the current situation, covering relevant documents, policies, procedures and practices, complemented by interviews and working sessions with the relevant technical and administrative departments. 2. Support PCBS in assessing risks across the main phases of the GSBPM: needs, design, build, collection, processing, analysis, dissemination and evaluation. 3. Provide online technical guidance and capacity-development sessions on risk concepts, GSBPM-based risk mapping, risk registers, mitigation measures, monitoring and reporting. 4. Assist PCBS in developing a practical risk management approach for statistical work, including roles, responsibilities, coordination mechanisms, escalation procedures and review arrangements. 5. Support the preparation of practical tools and templates, including a risk register, risk assessment matrix, mitigation plan, monitoring format and reporting template. 6. Assist PCBS in preparing a phased action plan for implementation, including priority activities, roles and responsibilities, timeline, technical and institutional needs, and monitoring and evaluation indicators, ensuring alignment with the existing national strategy for the development of statistics and the requirements of the National Statistical System. The action plan should include a pilot phase to test the proposed tools and templates before their adoption and scale-up, as well as a clear mechanism for knowledge transfer and sustainability of institutional application, and finalize outputs based on comments from ESCWA and PCBS.<br> Qualifications/special skills<br>A Master's degree in statistics, data management, risk management, public administration, institutional development or a related field is required. All candidates must submit a copy of the required educational degree. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. At least seven years of relevant professional experience in official statistics, statistical systems, risk management, business continuity or institutional governance is required. Demonstrated knowledge of the GSBPM and its application in official statistics is required. Experience working with national statistical offices or public institutions and in capacity development or online training is desirable. Knowledge of crisis-affected or fragile contexts is desirable. Excellent analytical, drafting and communication skills are desirable.<br> Languages<br>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, and knowledge of Arabic is desirable. 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.<br> Additional Information<br>Not available.<br> No Fee<br>THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CHARGE A FEE AT ANY STAGE OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS (APPLICATION, INTERVIEW MEETING, PROCESSING, OR TRAINING). THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT CONCERN ITSELF WITH INFORMATION ON APPLICANTS’ BANK ACCOUNTS.<br><br><br>
