<p>Addressing the issue of missing persons at a national level and uncovering the truth about the fate of the missing through a fair, transparent, and scientific truth-seeking process is of paramount importance for national reconciliation. The Transitional Justice (TJ) process is still not fully installed, thousands of families, until now, do not know what happened to their loved ones. Families of the missing, civil society actors, and human rights defenders advocating for truth and justice often face intimidation and reprisals, while accountability mechanisms remain weak. Inclusive advocacy and capacity building are required to search for all missing persons, while considering their families' social, psychological, financial, and legal needs. The project Addressing the issue of missing persons through supporting meaningful victim participation and building responsive justice and security sector institutions (hereafter: Missing Persons project ), implemented in partnership between UNSMIL and Our client and funded by the Netherlands' Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was developed based on a preliminary situation analysis and needs assessment to better understand the concerns and demands of families, which revealed a widespread lack of awareness of rights, entitlements, and available services among them, as well as limited access to trusted legal assistance and mental health support (MHPSS). Women, in particular, are disproportionately affected due to socio-economic vulnerability, social stigma surrounding MHPSS, and the absence of effective witness and victim protection laws in Libya. To address this service gap, pilot community-based referral mechanisms (referred to under the project as One-Stop-Shop services) will be operationalized in Tarhuna and Tawergha to provide coordinated access to legal aid, forensic follow-up, administrative assistance, and psychosocial support. The OSS model will function as a trusted community entry point and referral mechanism linking families to relevant authorities and service providers, contributing to the right to truth, justice and reparations. On this basis, Our client will select qualified experts in both localities to oversee the referral system. The two national consultants, one in each city, will serve as the first point of contact between beneficiaries and service providers in their respective communities. The consultants will support intake, referral, case coordination, outreach, and accompaniment of families accessing legal and psychosocial services. The objective of the assignment is to facilitate safe, confidential, and victim-centred access to legal aid and psychosocial support services for families of missing persons in Tawergha through community-based referral and coordination mechanisms.

In the context of ongoing political and institutional fragmentation since 2011, the country continues to face significant challenges in ensuring effective border governance and management across its extensive land and maritime borders. Libya shares approximately 4,300 kilometres of land borders with Niger, Chad, Sudan, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt. Large sections of these borders extend across remote and sparsely populated desert areas characterised by limited state presence, inadequate infrastructure, and constrained operational capacities. These conditions contribute to a high degree of border porosity and present substantial challenges to the effective monitoring and control of cross-border movements.<br>The security and governance dynamics in Libya’s border areas are closely linked to broader regional trends, particularly in the Sahel, where persistent instability, the presence of non-state armed groups, political transitions, and socio-economic vulnerabilities continue to drive insecurity and population movements. These dynamics are further exacerbated by environmental stressors and limited livelihood opportunities, contributing to increased mobility and displacement across borders. Within this context, Libya is affected by complex and interrelated cross-border challenges, including:<br>• Mixed migration flows involving migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees transiting through Libya, often in vulnerable situations.<br>• The activities of transnational organised crime networks engaged in the smuggling and trafficking of persons, weapons, fuel, and illicit substances.<br>• The movement of armed groups and foreign fighters across porous border areas.<br>• The potential exploitation of ungoverned or weakly governed spaces by terrorist and violent extremist actors.<br>These challenges have implications not only for Libya’s national security and stability but also for regional peace and security, including in neighbouring Sahelian and North African countries. Border communities, particularly in remote areas, are disproportionately affected by these dynamics, facing limited access to services, economic marginalisation, and heightened protection risks.<br>The Government of Libya has taken steps to address these challenges, including the development of strategic frameworks such as the “Security Plan to Reduce Smuggling and Control the Borders” and the “Four Lines of Defense” concept. While these initiatives provide an important foundation, there remains a need to further consolidate, harmonise, and operationalise existing approaches within a comprehensive and coherent national strategy. In this regard, there is a recognized need to strengthen border governance through an integrated and coordinated approach. The European Union’s Integrated Border Management (IBM) concept offers a relevant reference framework, promoting a multi-agency, multi-level, and whole-of-government approach to border<br>management. This approach emphasises effective coordination among relevant national authorities, including border guards, customs, migration services, and law enforcement agencies, as well as enhanced cooperation with neighbouring countries and regional partners.<br>In line with international standards and guidance developed by relevant organisations, including the United Nations, the World Customs Organization (WCO), and the World Bank, effective border management requires a balanced and comprehensive approach that integrates security considerations with the facilitation of legitimate trade and mobility, the protection of human rights, and the promotion of sustainable development in border areas. Against this backdrop, the development of a comprehensive Border Management Strategy for Libya is considered a priority. Such a strategy should build on existing national frameworks while addressing identified gaps in legal and regulatory systems, institutional coordination, operational capacities, infrastructure, and cross-border cooperation mechanisms. It should further be accompanied by a realistic and phased implementation plan, ensuring alignment with national priorities and international standards.<br>The consultant shall also define clear governance arrangements, roles, and coordination mechanisms among the Border Guards Agency, Ministry of Interior entities (e.g. GACIM), Ministry of Defence/Border Guards, and customs authorities. The strategy should address overlapping mandates and establish practical frameworks for information sharing, joint planning, and coordinated operations - particularly for SARD - by clarifying command structures, SOPs, and handover procedures.<br>The development and implementation of such a strategy is expected to contribute to strengthened state institutions, enhanced border security and governance, improved regional cooperation, and the promotion of safe, orderly, and regular cross-border movements.</p><br><p><br>Scope of Work<br>The consultant(s) will undertake the following tasks:<br>Review and Assessment<br>• Conduct a comprehensive review of existing national strategies and frameworks, including:<br>o “The Security Plan to Reduce Smuggling and Control the Borders”.<br>o The “Four Lines of Defense” framework.<br>• Analyse the current legal, regulatory, and institutional framework governing border management, migration, and cross-border cooperation.<br>• Assess operational capacities, infrastructure, coordination mechanisms, and existing gaps.<br>Strategy Development<br>• Develop a comprehensive Border Management Strategy guided by:<br>o The EU Integrated Border Management (IBM) concept.<br>o Relevant guidance from the EU, World Customs Organization (WCO), and World Bank.<br>• Ensure the strategy:<br>o Builds on and operationalises existing national frameworks.<br>o Defines clear institutional roles and coordination mechanisms.<br>o Aligns with international standards and good practices.<br>o Clarified command structures, roles, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)<br>o Effective mechanisms for information sharing, joint planning, coordinated operations, and handover procedures<br>Plan of Action (1 – 3 Years)<br>• Develop a phased and costed implementation plan covering a period of 1 – 3 years, including:<br>o Prioritised actions and sequencing.<br>o Clear timelines, responsibilities, and performance indicators.<br>• Identify and propose:<br>o Legal and regulatory reforms required to harmonise border governance frameworks.<br>o Institutional strengthening measures to improve coordination and accountability.</p><br><p><br>Methodology and Approach<br>The assignment should adopt a participatory and consultative approach, including:<br>• Engagement with relevant Libyan authorities at national and local levels.<br>• Consultation with regional and international stakeholders.<br>• Field assessments where feasible.<br>• Alignment with international standards and best practices.</p><br><p>Required Expertise<br>The assignment requires expertise in:<br>• Border management and security sector governance.<br>• Migration management and cross-border cooperation.<br>• Legal and institutional reform.<br>• Capacity development and strategic planning.<br>• Experience in fragile and conflict-affected contexts, preferably in Libya or the Sahel region.<br>• Arabic – fluent on expert level<br>&nbsp;</p><br><strong>Organizational Department / Unit to which the Consultant is contributing</strong><br><p>IOM Department of Migration Management, Immigration and Border Governance.<br><strong>Project: </strong>Human Rights-Based Border Management and Search and Rescue in Libya (“Sharaka”)<br><strong>Project Code:</strong> IB.0548</p><br><br> </div>

Work Location Remote Expected duration 16 weeks Duties and Responsibilities GENERAL SCOPE Digital identity (e-ID) is increasingly recognized as a foundational enabler of sustainable development because it underpins access to services, rights, and economic participation. The UN Sustainable Development Goals explicitly include legal identity for all (SDG 16.9), highlighting its role in inclusion and governance. In fact, e-ID allows individuals to securely prove their identity in digital environments, which improves access to healthcare, education, financial services, and social protection while reducing costs and improving efficiency in delivery. Identity verification is also essential for the resilience of societies and economies. Well-governed digital identity systems are now viewed as critical digital public infrastructure necessary for long-term sustainability and trust in digital transformation . Globally, the impact of e-ID is transformative but uneven. The World Economic Forum (WEF) highlights that around 850 million people still lack legal identification, limiting their ability to participate fully in society and the economy. Expanding digital identity systems can significantly improve inclusion, enabling access to digital services, financial systems, and labor markets while enhancing privacy and user control when properly designed. Regionally, especially in developing economies, e-ID is expected to accelerate digital economies and public sector efficiency; however, gaps in infrastructure, governance, and interoperability remain major barriers. Evidence also shows that lack of ID restricts access to essentials such as mobile connectivity, banking, healthcare, and voting, demonstrating the broad socio-economic consequences of identity exclusion. Two widely cited global success cases are Estonia and India. Estonia s e-ID is considered a global benchmark, where over 99% of public services are accessible online and citizens use digital identity for voting, healthcare, taxation, and business, demonstrating how e-ID can anchor a fully digital society . Its success is grounded in strong legal frameworks, interoperability, and universal adoption. Another example is India s Aadhaar system , which has enabled large-scale inclusion in financial services and targeted welfare delivery. These cases illustrate that successful e-ID systems combine policy, technology, and governance to drive adoption and trust . For Libya, developing a robust e-ID policy is critical to advancing its digital transformation agenda and overcoming governance and service delivery challenges. Given Libya s high internet penetration, a clear, comprehensive e-ID policy would strengthen trust, improve interoperability across government services, and address gaps in data protection and digital governance. The General Information Authority (GIA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop the national digital identity policy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital identity policy to the GIA. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital identity policy. To produce the draft policy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Libya related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to digital identity policies and frameworks (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3. Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with GIA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals; 4. Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Prepare the needed digital identity policy based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis, national needs (SWOT analysis); 6. Present the draft report in a national workshop or meeting (physically or remotely) and capture the main comments and findings of the discussions; 7. Update the draft proposal according to all received feedback and comments during the reviewing process by ESCWA and GIA. 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 to ensure that the report gives equal attention to the needs of both men and women, as well as girls and boys. Writing should use gender-sensitive language.</p></div></section><section><p class="heading">Desired Candidate Profile</p><p class="paragraph">A Master's degree in ICT, technology, engineering, computer science or a related field is required.

<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles &amp; Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p>From an automated government through e-Government to a smart and open government, technology and innovation have become vital tools for managing and conducting government business, serving its citizens, and achieving its development targets. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development states that good governance at all levels as well as transparent, effective and accountable institutions are necessary to build peaceful societies and achieve sustainable development. In this Agenda, specific measures are given to achieve such societies especially in Goal 16 Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels . Under this goal, the development of effective, accountable and transparent institutions (16.6), responsive, inclusive participatory and representative decision-making (16.7) and public access to information (16.10) are promoted as targets. To implement these targets, a partnership, between the Government, the private sector, civil society, other stakeholders (such as the public, and regional, sub-regional and international institutions) and citizens, is envisioned. Better governance and better public institutions are essential elements in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Technology and innovation provide governments with options to achieve the individual targets set out in Goal 16. Innovation in the public sector provides new processes, products and services that can either be new technologies or be supported by technologies that promotes access to information, inclusiveness, citizen participation, accountability, transparency and responsiveness. When the government adopts new technologies and openness as part of its paradigm, the possibility of collaboration, shared responsibility and co-decision-making, strengthens the government and empowers its citizens. 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 GDC mandates UN Regional Commissions to provide support to Member States to advance digital transformation. Globally, the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) market is projected to grow from USD 42.55 billion in 2025 to USD 55.36 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 5.4%. Digitally driven measures such as smart logistics and improved asset utilization could limit road freight CO emission growth by up to 40% between 2019 and 2050. In the Arab region, 95% mobile broadband coverage a critical enabler for connected mobility . The progressive integration of AI, IoT, GIS and ITS into national transport strategies across Member States, directly serving SDGs 9 and 11. Libya s land transport sector faces acute structural challenges: a paved road network of approximately 34,000 km , one of the highest road-fatality rates in the world publicly cited at around 73 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants against a global benchmark of roughly 20 , Digital transformation of land transport in Libya is expected to (i) reduce fatalities and injuries through intelligent traffic management, e-enforcement, GPS-based fleet supervision and connected-vehicle safety; (ii) modernise freight, customs and logistics operations through digital manifests, tracking and scheduling (iii) enhance public revenue and governance via digital tolling, licensing and vehicle registration; and (iv) anchor land transport within Libya s broader digital transformation and economic recovery agenda. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop their digital transformation strategy. LTA is planning to develop a comprehensive framework to modernize its two main divisions: the Authorization Department and the Transport Affairs Department. This framework will encompass the registration and management of services provided to public vehicles, vehicle testing processes, and the delivery of permit services to individuals and businesses. Currently, most of these services rely on manually maintained Excel-based data, which increases the risk of errors and limits efficiency. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the digital transformation framework to LTA. The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the digital transformation strategy. To produce the draft strategy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Libya related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2.

Work Location Remote Expected duration 16 weeks Duties and Responsibilities GENERAL SCOPE Blockchain represents today one of the foundational digital technologies for advancing sustainable development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Blockchain can revolutionize processes in various areas, from finance to trade and from government public services to humanitarian work, with strong potential to accelerate SDG progress if aligned with national priorities . Blockchain introduces new systems of trust and exchange, enhancing transparency, accountability and efficiency in areas such as supply chains, financial inclusion, identity systems and aid delivery. It enables sustainable infrastructure investment by improving visibility of climate-related actions, aligning stakeholders and facilitating financing for low carbon development. Globally, blockchain is expected to drive profound digital transformation across economic systems, governance structures and international collaboration. Blockchain will reshape how businesses, governments and societies interact, particularly in trade facilitation, supply-chain transparency, digital identity and cross border financial systems. It could transform social interaction, public institutions and economic models, affecting countries ability to pursue sustainable development pathways and participate in global value chains. Regionally, its impact is closely tied to digital transformation agendas and governance reforms. It empowers the development of smart sustainable cities and digital economies, covering sectors such as energy, health, and transportation. Two widely cited cases illustrate the practical value of blockchain. First, Estonia represents a leading global example of blockchain-enabled digital government: the country uses blockchain to protect national data systems and ensure integrity across services such as healthcare, property registries and legal records, enabling secure, efficient and trusted e-Government services . Second, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) provides a prominent case supported by the World Economic Forum (WEF) . Through initiatives like the Dubai Blockchain Strategy and multiple public and private sector applications, blockchain has been deployed in areas such as trade facilitation, payments, health services and secure data exchange, supported by strong governance frameworks and multi stakeholder collaboration For Libya, developing a coherent blockchain policy is essential to capture these opportunities while managing risks. Integrating blockchain into developed systems could strengthen public administration, reduce corruption risks, and improve service delivery. This would contribute to inclusive and sustainable development rather than fragmented or high risk deployment. The General Information Authority (GIA) in Libya requested the technical assistance of ESCWA to develop the national blockchain policy. The objective of this consultancy is to provide an advisory service to assist ESCWA team in suggesting the national blockchain policy to the Authority. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The consultant shall propose to the designated ESCWA focal point a detailed version of the blockchain policy. To produce the draft policy, the consultant is requested to conduct, among others, the main following tasks: 1. Review the national digital documents and the existing policies and strategies in Libya related to digital transformation, innovation, digital technologies, and other related national development plans; 2. Review best regional and international best practices related to blockchain policies and frameworks (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3. Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with GIA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals; 4.
