Tenders are invited for Senior International Expert for Revising a Conflict-Of-Interest Report and Reviewing a Legal Mapping of Conflict-Of-Interest Laws The objective of the assignment is to review and restructure the conflict-of-interest report, developed by a French expert during the ACT project, and later updated by a Lebanese lawyer, while integrating comments from HATVP/AFA, and updating its content to align with international standards, while also contributing to the strategy of its dissemination. The international expert will play a pivotal role in identifying key areas for improvement, adding new concepts for combatting conflict of interest, identifying key stakeholders for dissemination, and advising on its publication methods and formats. Specific objectives Collaborate with the component manager to develop a comprehensive work plan for updating the report, outlining timelines, deliverables, and strategies. Revise the conflict-of-interest report through desk research and one-on-one discussions and interviews with the projects beneficiary administrations, the HATVP, and AFA. Build on the revision done to the report in 2025 by a Lebanese Lawyer. Incorporate comments and recommendations provided by HATVP and AFA, ensuring the Lebanese framework is benchmarked against international best practices. Conduct independent restructuring of the report to strengthen its coherence, clarity, and alignment with UNCAC and comparative international approaches. Contribute to the planning of a dissemination strategy which includes workshops, animation of sessions, and selecting the target audience for dissemination and publication. Anticipated results The updated report will reflect both Lebanese realities and international standards, incorporating the French counterparts comments and the experts independent analysis. This will provide oversight bodies with a comparative framework to strengthen accountability and integrity.
