OVERVIEW OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE POST


The individual specialist shall:



 



  1. Prepare,
    drawing throughout the process on feedback and guidance by UNESCO, a
    UNESCO policy brief on developing and sustaining human rights-based STI
    systems. The Brief will build on the provisions of the 2017 RS|SR, the
    General Comment N.25 on science and economic, social and cultural rights
    of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as well as
    on experiences and lessons learned from the implementation of a human
    rights-based approach generally and in the field of STI systems in
    particular. The 2020 UNESCO Science Report will be another source of
    knowledge and information. Against this background, the brief will put
    forward a set of actionable recommendations for integrating HRBA in STI,
    highlighting entry points, opportunities and eventual challenges. The
    brief could also emphasize, as appropriate, specific issues such as
    climate resilience, indigenous knowledge, academic and scientific
    freedom, and gender equality.


 



  1. The policy brief will be around 15-20 pages long and contain the following sections:


 




    1. Key insights: to provide a short overview of key takeaway messages and recommendations made in the brief
    2. Added
      value and urgency: to provide context, with references also to the
      ongoing pandemic and its consequences, as to why a rights-based approach
      to STI systems is needed
    3. Practical
      Implications: this should be the central part of the brief. It should
      describe briefly the main operational implications of anchoring STI
      systems in human rights
    4. Opportunities & challenges: to identify main entry points and opportunities but also gaps and implementation challenges
    5. Recommendations: to point to possible pathways and priorities for going forward



 



Furthermore, visualisations and references will also be part of the final product.
