Following the adoption of Lebanon's first competition law in 2022, the Lebanese National Competition Authority (LNCA) is strengthening its institutional and technical capacities. ESCWA, which supported the adoption of the law, is organising a three-day introductory workshop for the LNCA Board of Directors at UN premises in Beirut. The consultant prepares and delivers the training remotely, while the workshop itself takes place in person in Beirut.

• Coordinate with ESCWA and other experts to ensure consistent and complementary contributions, and incorporate ESCWA's feedback before the workshop.
• Deliver the agreed sessions and facilitate discussions and practical exercises during the three-day workshop.
• Submit the final training materials and a brief summary of key issues and follow-up needs identified.

Required profile

• Master's degree in Law, Economics or a related field; a copy of the degree must be submitted.
• At least eight years of relevant professional experience in competition law or policy, including research, teaching, advisory or enforcement work.
• Experience delivering training or teaching to audiences with varying levels of expertise.
