DescriptionDo you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? The World Bank Group is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions dedicated to ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, we work with public and private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data, research, and technology to develop solutions to the most urgent global challenges. For more information, visit www.worldbank.org. About the World Bank GroupEstablished in 1944, the WBG is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. In fiscal year 2018, the WBG committed $67 billion in loans, grants, equity investments and guarantees to its members and private businesses, of which $24 billion was concessional finance to its poorest members. It is governed by 188-member countries and delivers services out of 120 offices with nearly 15,000 staff located globally. The WBG consists of five specialized institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The World Bank is organized into six client-facing Regional Vice-Presidencies, several corporate functions and thirteen Global Practices to bring best-in-class knowledge and solutions to regional and country clients. IEG's RoleThe Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) is responsible for the assessment of the relevance, efficacy, and efficiency of World Bank Group operational policies, programs and activities, and their contribution to development effectiveness. IEG's evaluations aim to enhance accountability and learning to inform the formulation of new directions, policies and procedures, country and sector strategies, and programs for the World Bank Group's work.IEG is directly responsible for:* Assessing whether the World Bank Group Institutions' operational policies, programs and activities are producing the expected results, including global, regional, and other programs in which the Institution(s) is a participant.* Incorporating evaluation assessments and findings into recommendations designed to help improve the development effectiveness of the World Bank Group's programs and activities, and their responsiveness to member countries' needs and concerns. * Appraising the Institutions' self-evaluations of strategies and projects and attesting to their adequacy to the Boards. * Reporting periodically to the Boards on actions taken by the Institution(s) in response to evaluation findings, and on the measures being taken to improve the overall operations evaluation system including dissemination and outreach activities. * Identifying and disseminating evaluation findings and lessons to maximize contributions to the World Bank Group's learning and knowledge framework and reinforce learning and accountability within the World Bank Group in service of achieving its corporate goals. * Encouraging and assisting developing member countries to build effective monitoring and evaluation associations, capacities and systems. * Working closely with development partners among donors and developing countries in order to foster international evaluation harmonization, to develop evaluation capacity in developing countries, and to encourage best practice in international development evaluation.Internal and external contextsIEG's work is aligned with the changing internal and external contexts. The World Bank is currently undergoing a transition. A process has been launched to expand and revise the vision of the World Bank and review its operational and financing model to ensure it is ready to meet the changing needs of its clients and address the challenges of the future. Evaluation has an important role to play in this process, not only in keeping the World Bank accountable, but also to ensure that the way forward builds on evidence on what works and what doesn't. This will require providing evidence both for the longer-term strategic direction but also shorter-term, real-time evidence to help the institution course correct, particularly in times of crisis.Internally, the WBG's organization has launched a consultative change process known as the Evolution Roadmap, which recognizes the increasing importance of global challenges in achieving development goals, and that there is a need to sharpen the WBG mission with greater emphasis on sustainability, resilience to shocks, and inclusion, which are also critical for achievement of the twin goals and the SDGs. The provisional vision is to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet, with a mission to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet. Externally, the global community has reached consensus on ambitious post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals, and client countries and development partners are demanding increased focus on development impact and results.Consistent with the WBG 2016 Forward Look and subsequent discussions with stakeholders around the Evolution Roadmap, the focus will continue to be on poverty reduction and shared prosperity, while also addressing the interlinkages with global challenges, such as climate change, pandemic risks, and Fragility, Conflict and Violence (FCV). In this context, and the recent discussions about the financing of the WBG and development more broadly to do more, the independent evaluation can play an important role in helping the WBG achieve greater development effectiveness by assessing what works, and why.IEG has increasingly moved to a strategic selection process for its major evaluations to ensure greater influence of each individual evaluation, and of all of them collectively. IEG continues to pursue two objectives:* Achieving the evolving goal and mission of the WBG - What Works and Why? Deepening evidence about the results of WBG programs and activities and their contribution to WBG's strategic priorities and ultimately its mission goals. This objective is addressed mostly through thematic evaluations that currently cover IEG's three Strategic Engagement Areas (SEAs) which are aligned, but may adapt, with the Forward Look and emerging Evolution Roadmap, namely: (i) Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth; (ii) Investing in People, especially through Sustained Service Delivery to the poor and bottom 40%; and (iii) Fostering Resilience to Global Shocks and Threats.* Real-Time Feedback on WBG Operational choices: Assessing implementation of, and providing WBG Management and Executive Board with early feedback on, reforms and WBG operational choices to ensure that timely course corrections are made when needed. This objective is addressed mostly through corporate evaluations covering four strategic pillars: i) Assisting All Client Segments; ii) Leading on Global and Regional Issues, iii) Improving the WBG Business Model, and iv) Mobilization: Scaling Up Finance for Development.Under the Director General of Evaluation, IEG is developing a long-term strategy to best contribute to the Evolution Roadmap. This will involve building on the work already underway, with a particular emphasis on strengthening engagement with various stakeholders, using mixed methods and innovating to enhance the quality and rigor of evaluations, while also maintaining the independence of the evaluation function as both a tool for accountability and learning. IEG will also continue to place emphasis on (i) IEG's value proposition as a contributor to the WBG's development effectiveness through focused, timely, and impactful evaluative activities, (ii) IEG's efficiency and value for money, and (iii) IEG's effective engagement with WBG management and other stakeholders. Organizational structureIEG is led by the Director General, Evaluation (DGE), who reports directly to the Board of Executive Directors through the Committee on Development Effectiveness (CODE). IEG's organizational structure comprises:* Office of the DGE (IEGDG); * Human Development and Economic Management Department (IEGHE); * Financial, Private Sector, and Sustainable Development Department (IEGSP); and * Knowledge and Communications Unit (IEGKC). Economic Management and Country Program Evaluation Unit (IEGEC)Within the Human Development and Economic Management Department (IEGHE), Economic Management and Country Program Evaluation (IEGEC) covers four main areas of work:* Evaluations and validation of self-evaluations of Prosperity operations (comprising the Global Practices: Economic Policy, Poverty and Equity, Governance, FCV Cross-Cutting Solution Area [CCSA]); * Thematic Evaluation: evaluating the relevance and effectiveness of sector and thematic strategies and programs of the WBG in the above-mentioned thematic areas; * Evaluations and validation of self-evaluations of Country Partnership Frameworks (across all regions of the WBG); * Country Program Evaluations: evaluating the relevance and effectiveness of WBG country programs across all regions.

THE LCR REGION – PEOPLE AND EDUCATIONThe Bank's LCR Regional Vice Presidency has placed People and Human Development, including education, at the heart of its engagement to eliminate poverty on a livable planet. The LCR People team is led by a Director and encompasses three units (Health, Nutrition and Population; Social and Protection, and Education) with about 90 professionals helping the region to achieve better human capital outcomes Unit Context:Countries in the LAC region have taken great strides in education in the past few decades, but surprisingly large challenges remain: Learning poverty is at 52 percent; access to quality early childhood education for vulnerable and poor families are highly inadequate; learning in secondary education trails substantially learning in OECD countries (by an average of five years in math). Drop out and insufficient access to upper secondary and higher education implies that youth in LCR face an unnecessary difficult transition to the labor market, and more than 25 million youth are not in education and not in jobs in the region. Lastly, the Latin American and Caribbean region suffers from a 100-year under-investment into technical and STEM skills to drive technology adoption. The World Bank LCR Education Unit focuses on helping countries build the human capital required for economic growth and social development by providing analytical products, technical and financial support. To overcome these challenges, the LAC Education Unit supports countries in developing and implementing strategies for learning at all levels of education from childhood to tertiary. Teams work closely with countries to improve their systems of delivery, promote equality in education, and foster better management.

The World Bank consists of two entities – the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). It is a global development cooperative owned by 189 member countries. As the largest development bank in the world, the World Bank provides loans, guarantees, risk management products, and advisory services to middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries, and coordinates responses to regional and global challenges. Visit www.worldbank.org. As part of the World Bank Group (WBG), the Integrity Vice Presidency (INT) shares in the WBG's overall mission in alleviating poverty and achieving a shared and sustainable prosperity in client countries. INT's fundamental role within the WBG is to help detect, prevent, and deter fraud and corruption in the use of the WBG's financial resources, so that those resources are used effectively to benefit the poor people that they are intended to reach. In contributing to the WBG's overall mission, INT works closely with other stakeholders across the WBG to:Help detect, prevent, and deter fraud and corruption in WBG-supported projects and activities by: professionally investigating allegations of fraud, corruption, collusion, coercion, or obstruction (the WBG-sanctionable practices) in WBG activities; seeking WBG sanctions against firms and individuals that have engaged in any sanctionable practice; using information available to INT to help operational staff design and implement projects in ways that minimize fraud and corruption risks. working with the operational complex and other oversight and control units to help prevent fraud and corruption in operations by distilling lessons learned from investigative findings, developing effective risk identification and management tools, preparing remedial recommendations at the project and broader level, as appropriate, to address risks and issues identified through investigations, and ensuring timely disclosure to the Board of risks identified through ongoing or recently completed investigations that are of relevance to new operations presented to the Board for approval; conducting detailed fiduciary reviews of WBG-supported projects with operations using forensic methodology in order to detect indicators of fraud or corruption and help address them as early as possible for better project outcomes; and working with sanctioned entities through the Integrity Compliance Office in supporting and monitoring their efforts to put in place appropriate integrity compliance programs in order to raise their integrity standards and reduce risks associated with their operations following their release from sanction.Help client countries to fight fraud and corruption by: referring investigative findings to the investigative and enforcement authorities in those countries and working with authorities, as requested, to follow-up and take action; supporting client country counterparts with their preventive and integrity risk mitigation efforts at the project and policy levels; helping build client country capacity in preventive and forensic techniques and collaborating in multilateral efforts to mitigate the risks of fraud and corruption in development activities. promoting integrity principles and the implementation of integrity compliance programs among entities sanctioned by the WBG, and more broadly.Enforce the highest standards of professional integrity and ethical behavior among WBG staff and corporate vendors by: investigating allegations of staff misconduct involving significant fraud and corruption; investigating corporate vendors alleged to have engaged in sanctionable practices; and mining the lessons learned from those investigations to undertake training and outreach programs and also strengthen the WBG's internal controls environment.INT's work contributes directly to achieving the shared prosperity/poverty reduction mission of the WBG. Reducing fraud and corruption in WBG projects helps to ensure that WBG funds are used for their intended purposes: to alleviate poverty and to increase prosperity and stability in our borrowing countries. Working with others in international development institutions, INT's principal goal is to measurably minimize development assistance funds lost to fraud, corruption and abuse and increase the quality and results of development efforts. Results are reported in an annual report that contains aggregated data, outcomes, and generic descriptions of significant cases. To ensure its independence, INT's Vice President (VP) reports directly to the World Bank President. INT is seeking an experienced Data Scientist with full-stack application development expertise and data science experience to support the ongoing modernization of INT's data systems and analytics infrastructure.
