<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.

Work Location Remote Expected duration 4 months Duties and Responsibilities Background International migration has long played an important role in the economic and social development of the Arab region. The cross-border movement of people facilitates the circulation of labour, skills, knowledge, capital and ideas and can influence labour-market outcomes, investment, economic diversification, innovation and incomes. These effects extend across both origin and destination countries through employment, remittances, investment, entrepreneurship, diaspora networks, return migration and knowledge transfer. At the same time, patterns of international migration are evolving in response to climate change, conflict, economic crises and changing labour-market needs. Differences in labour-market institutions, migration policies, skills recognition, social protection and governance also affect the economic and social outcomes associated with migration. Understanding these changing patterns and their implications is important for developing policies that can better harness human mobility for economic transformation, resilience and shared prosperity. Against this background, ESCWA proposes an analytical paper on International Migration, Economic Transformation and Policy Frameworks in the Arab Region. The paper will examine patterns and channels of international migration across the region, assess their implications for origin and destination countries, and identify policy priorities for strengthening their contribution to productivity, diversification, resilience and sustainable economic transformation. Duties and Responsibilities The objective of the consultancy is to prepare an analytical paper on International Migration, Economic Transformation and Policy Frameworks in the Arab Region. The paper will assess how international migration influences labour markets and incomes, productivity and economic transformation, and the circulation of skills, knowledge and capital, while examining emerging trends and the policy conditions required to strengthen these outcomes. Under the overall guidance of ESCWA, the consultant will undertake the following tasks: Develop a conceptual and methodological framework examining the channels through which international migration affects origin and destination economies, including labour markets, incomes, productivity, skills, knowledge and innovation. Examine datasets, identify trends relating to workers movement, remittances, investments and economic diversification. Undertake an empirical assessment of migration flows and stocks across the Arab region, including intra-Arab and extra-regional movements, and assess their implications for labour markets, remittances, investment and economic diversification. Examine how climate change, conflict, economic crises are reshaping international migration patterns and assess their implications for economic transformation and resilience. Develop a policy framework for facilitating the movement and circulation of people, skills and knowledge, including talent mobility, recognition of qualifications, portable social protection, labour-market information systems, diaspora engagement and return migration. Prepare and finalize the analytical paper, incorporating quantitative evidence, regional and international experiences, policy recommendations and comments received from ESCWA.</p><p><strong>Desired Candidate Profile</strong></p>A PhD in economics or related field is required.
