1 . Background of the assignment: Precious metals and stones are highly vulnerable to illicit trade and ML/TF schemes due to their high value, portability, durability and stability. Criminal networks exploit these commodities as trafficking goods, means of payment or value storage in complex laundering and terrorism financing arrangements, often through professional enablers such as dealers, refineries, exporters, cutters and polishers. To strengthen global responses, UNODC is conducting a global mapping exercise to assess how jurisdictions supervise and regulate DPMS across the supply chain, from extraction to retail. The mapping supports the development of a good practices document on risk-based supervision, aligned with FATF Recommendations 1, 22, 23, 28 and 34. Survey data will be collected from Member States, analysed and consolidated regionally. This consultancy contributes to the development of the good practice guidance for supervisors of dealers of precious metals and stones by helping process and analyse collected data, supporting expert meetings and laying the analytical foundation for the good practices document. 2. Purpose of the assignment To support UNODC in collecting, validating, analysing, and systematizing global survey data on AML/CFT risk‑based supervision of DPMS and contribute to the preparation of expert group meetings. 3. Specific tasks Under the overall supervision of the AML/CFT Advisers, the consultant will: a. Data Collection & Follow-up o Conduct systematic follow-ups with Member States that have not yet submitted the online questionnaire or have submitted incomplete responses. o Follow up with Member States that have not yet submitted the online questionnaire or have submitted incomplete responses. o Track response status, maintain an updated contact list and ensure data completeness and consistency. b. Data Cleaning, Validation & Translation o Clean raw data from Member States to ensure coherence across variables. o Use AI based tools to translate non-English responses into English while ensuring fidelity and quality checks. c. Data Analysis o Conduct preliminary quantitative and qualitative analysis of responses. o Identify trends across regions and across different stages of the supply chain (extraction, trading, refining, cutting/polishing, retail, scrap markets). o Compare national approaches to DPMS supervision, regulatory scope, licensing, risk assessments and preventive measures. d. Dashboard & Data Visualization o Design and produce a structured dashboard summarizing findings (regional segmentation, supply chain segmentation, regulatory models, challenges, good practice signals). o Provide initial visualizations for internal presentations e. Support to Expert Group Meetings o Prepare analytical summaries, background notes, slide decks and briefing materials for EGM sessions foreseen under Output 1.1 and 1.2. o Assist the UNODC team during meeting preparations.
