Consultant "Digital Regulation in Times of Crisis"OVERVIEW

Parent Sector: Communication and Information Sector (CI)

Duty Station: Paris

Job Family: Communication and Information

Type of contract: Non Staff

Duration of contract: From 7 to 11 months

Recruitment open to: External candidates

Application Deadline (Midnight Paris Time): 18-FEB-2025

UNESCO Core Values: Commitment to the Organization, Integrity, Respect for Diversity, Professionalism

The Communication and Information Sector's mission is to promote freedom of expression, media development and media literate societies, and to build knowledge societies through fostering universal access to information, innovation for sustainable development and the preservation of documentary heritage.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Digital platforms have become a new front in the pursuit of peace. The transformative role that digital platforms have played in advancing human rights is undeniable. Yet the same digital platforms that have democratized access to knowledge and culture, and fostered global connection, have also become ecosystems of misinformation, disinformation, ideological polarization, and incitement to violence, discrimination, and hate.

Thus, while companies lack transparency, accountability and due diligence, many countries have embarked on regulatory processes without a human right respecting approach, weakening deeply the civic space and leading to different kinds of censorship.

Following a series of multi-stakeholder consultations, UNESCO published in November 2023 the "Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms." These Guidelines establish a clear framework of responsibilities and roles for states, digital platforms, intergovernmental organizations, civil society, media, academia, the technical community, and other stakeholders, advocating a multi-stakeholder approach to digital platform governance.

MAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The Individual Specialist will work under the overall authority of the Assistant Director-General for Communication and Information, the direct supervision of the Chief of the Freedom of Expression and Safety of Journalists Section (FEJ), and with the guidance and cooperation of other relevant UNESCO colleagues.

The Individual Specialist will draft a high-quality, well-researched, and data-driven project study on digital regulation in times of crisis, ensuring that the Work is completed in a timely manner and to the expected standard of quality.

Scope of Work and Responsibilities

Project Phases:

  1. Phase 1 - Qualitative interviews: Conduct interviews with regulatory authorities and relevant stakeholders from two countries currently experiencing crises.
  2. Phase 2 - Quantitative survey: Conduct a survey targeting international regulators and other stakeholders to gather a comprehensive overview of their perceptions and responses to various crises.

Research and Writing:

  1. Develop a comprehensive and well-structured study fed by the key findings from the two phases of the project.

Collaboration and Coordination:

  1. Regularly communicate with UNESCO to receive guidance, share drafts, and incorporate feedback.

Quality and Accuracy:

  1. Ensure that all data, statistics, and references are accurate, reliable, and properly sourced.

DELIVERABLES

  1. Submission of the draft questions for the qualitative interviews.
  2. Completion of the qualitative interviews.
  3. Submission of the qualitative report findings.
  4. Submission of the key findings of the WPFD workshop.
  5. Completion of the quantitative survey and submission of a general report of quantitative outcomes.
  6. Submission of the final project study incorporating the findings and outcomes from both phases of the project.
  7. Presentation of the project outcomes during the International Conference for the Governance of Digital Platforms.
