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>Open data is widely recognized as a foundational enabler of sustainable development because it improves evidence-based decision-making, transparency, and citizen participation. Timely, accessible, and shareable data supports human centered innovation, strengthens public service delivery, and enhances accountability in governance systems. In fact, open government data operationalizes transparency, a core principle of effective governance for achieving the 2030 Agenda, by making public sector information reusable for social and economic value creation. In this context, open data contributes directly to multiple SDGs, including institutional effectiveness (SDG 16), innovation (SDG 9), and partnerships (SDG 17). Globally, open data is transforming digital economies and governance systems by enabling innovation, improving policy design, and supporting data-driven ecosystems. Open data enhances democratic engagement and stimulates innovation by allowing businesses and citizens to reuse government data for new services and insights. At the same time, ITU data shows that the rapid expansion of digital connectivity with around 74% of the global population online in 2025 creates unprecedented opportunities for open data use, although gaps persist across regions. Regionally, particularly in developing and Arab countries, open data can help address structural challenges by improving coordination and reducing information asymmetries. However, disparities in infrastructure, governance maturity, and digital skills mean that the impact of open data varies significantly, requiring tailored policies and capacity-building interventions to unlock its full potential. One leading global example is the United Kingdom s data.gov.uk platform, which releases thousands of datasets across sectors such as transport, health, and the economy, enabling businesses to build data-driven services and enhancing government transparency. This demonstrates that when supported by policy frameworks and stakeholder engagement, open data can generate tangible economic and governance benefits in both advanced and developing contexts. For Libya, adopting a comprehensive open data policy is particularly critical given the country s challenges and limited availability of reliable data. An open data policy would help address these gaps by standardizing data collection and sharing, improving trust in public institutions, and enabling evidence-based reforms.

<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. Review best regional and international best practices related to Digital Transformation Strategies and policies (at least 2 selected regional and 2 international cases); 3. Identify main national stakeholders, hold, in coordination with LTA, interviews and meetings with the main national stakeholders and preparing minutes of each meeting/interview summarizing the discussed points, their remarks, observations and proposals. This includes assessing institutional digital maturity of LTA, its main business processes, and the current data governance; 4. Contribute to sectoral workshops to discuss needs and priorities, if needed; 5. Prepare the needed digital transformation strategy based on international and regional best practices, gap analysis, national needs (SWOT analysis). This strategy would include phased implementation roadmap and change management component; 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 LTA. 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"></p><p>A Master's degree in ICT, technology, engineering, computer science or a related field is required.
