الوصف الوظيفي:
Tasdeer is a six-year, £22.5 million GBP (US$29.9M) private sector development programme funded by the UK government. It is implemented by Cowater International in partnership with Core Associates, Business Integrated Solutions (BIS), and Al Athar Global Consulting Inc.

Tasdeer aims to support the development of the Palestinian economy by improving the private sector’s competitiveness and Palestinian Authority’s capacity in trade, customs, and import policy regulation. We aim to increase sustainable private sector-led economic growth and job creation in Palestine, supporting the Palestinian Authority’s fiscal sustainability while promoting equitable access to the benefits of increased trade and improved institutional capacity.

The programme is designed to be flexible and adaptable, and it will work politically and technically to make progress across the two-key interrelated pillars across West Bank and Gaza.

Pillar 1: Business Enabling Environment; will address key policy, regulatory, and institutional impediments constraining private sector growth.
Pillar 2: Catalytic private-sector investments; will support export growth and strengthen domestic market production
The programme is implemented by a Cowater-led consortium on behalf of FCDO and under its supervision. This includes designing and implementing interventions and providing quarterly and annual reports. The Cowater-led Tasdeer team is expected to identify and implement interventions that will improve trade performance and fiscal sustainability in the OPTs through the provision of grants for technical assistance, policy dialogue, analysis, and small-scale infrastructure (if needed). This will include interventions that will enhance trade logistics, reduce trade transaction costs, build trade-related institutions, create a more conducive enabling environment for trade, and grants to firms to procure technical assistance and equipment to improve their exports and be competitive.

Job Purpose:

Reporting to Pillar 1 Lead, the Private Sector Institutions and Policy Advisor will support the design, development, and delivery of technical assistance and policy-level interventions aimed at strengthening private sector institutions and the business enabling environment in Palestine (West Bank and Gaza).

Working closely with public and private sector stakeholders, the position will provide technical and strategic advisory support to enhance the effectiveness, coordination, performance and sustainability of trade-related institutions, while contributing to the development and implementation of evidence-based, context-sensitive reforms. This includes supporting policy dialogue, regulatory reform processes, and institutional strengthening efforts to enable a more efficient, inclusive, and market-responsive environment.

This role will contribute to ensuring that interventions are practical, implementable, and aligned with programme objectives and donor priorities, with a focus on delivering measurable improvements in trade performance, institutional capacity, and private sector competitiveness.
