DescriptionThe 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.The "Urban, Resilience and Land" (URL) Global PracticeUrbanization is occurring at an unprecedented pace. Cities generate 80% of global GDP and are key to job creation and the pursuit of shared prosperity. Yet one billion city residents live in slums today, and by 2030 one billion new migrants will arrive in cities. This concentration of people and assets will exacerbate risk exposure to adverse natural events and climate change, which affects the poor disproportionately. The absence of secure land tenure underpins deprivation and is a major source of conflict in the urban and rural space. One and a half billion people live in countries affected by repeated cycles of violence. In the absence of services, participative planning and responsive institutions, these trends will result in increased poverty, social exclusion, vulnerability and violence. Finally, avoiding a 4-degree warmer world requires drastically reducing the carbon footprint of cities.The WBG is in a unique position to support national and sub-national clients to: harness urbanization and enable effective land management in support of both growth and poverty reduction; foster social inclusion of marginalized groups; support the responsiveness and fiscal, financial, and management capacities of local governments – cities, municipalities, and rural districts – to deliver local infrastructure and decentralized services; strengthen resilience and risk management related to natural disasters; reduce conflict and violence; scale-up access to finance for sub-national governments; and reduce the carbon footprint of cities. The WBG brings a combination of lending ($7-8 billion in annual lending to cities), analytical and advisory services (e.g., social inclusion flagship, urbanization reviews, Sendai dialogue), its growing portfolio of reimbursable advisory services, its convening power (e.g., understanding risk and the land conferences), its leveraging capacity (e.g., guarantees and risk mitigation), and its ability to work with the private sector to tackle the challenges at scale and to effect.The URL GP covers a wide gamut: (i) developing green, inclusive and resilient cities; (ii) enhancing urban and rural development through supporting and managing the urban-rural transition, assisting local development through developing land tenure, management and information systems; and (iii) assisting in disaster risk management through issues of risk assessment, risk reduction (including flood management, urban drainage, coastal management, and retrofitting of infrastructure), disaster preparedness (including hydromet services, early warning systems, and civil defense), risk financing (including Cat DDO), and resilient reconstruction (including post-disaster damage and loss assessment).Regional and Unit ContextUrbanization in Sub-Saharan Africa is occurring at an unprecedented pace. The share of Africans living in urban areas is projected to grow from 38 percent in 2016 to almost 60 percent by 2040, translating to an additional 40,000 new urban citizens every day until 2040. The region's urbanization rate, one of the highest in the world, can lead to economic growth, transformation and poverty. However, many cities in Africa still have not fully captured the benefits of urbanization and poorly managed urbanization have exacerbated existing infrastructure challenges, resulting in increased inequality, urban poverty, proliferation of informal settlements and vulnerability to hazards. Adverse natural events present a serious obstacle for achieving sustainable social and economic development, particularly in vulnerable regions as Sub-Saharan Africa. Disaster affects the poor most severely; unplanned human settlements, unsafe building practices, high population densities, economic growth, and accumulations of assets in risk prone areas has dramatically increased exposure to hazards and increased disaster loss. Climate changed has the potential to significantly worsen the situation.To this end, the AFW Urban, Resilience and Land Units brings together a wide range of important and interrelated development and financing instruments to support national and sub-national clients to: harness urbanization and enable effective land management in support of both growth and poverty reduction; foster social inclusion of marginalized groups; support the responsiveness and fiscal, financial, and management capacities of local governments – cities, municipalities, and rural districts – to deliver local infrastructure and decentralized services; strengthen resilience and disaster risk management related to natural disasters; reduce conflict and violence; scale-up access to finance for sub-national governments; and reduce the carbon footprint of cities.Position contextThe West Africa sub-region harbors some of Africa's protracted conflicts, rendering many of its countries fragile. This creates a huge development challenge which compounded with other natural shocks like floods and droughts, impacts heavily on the lives and livelihoods of people. But it also creates an opportunity to work closely with country leaders, civil society, development partners, and young people to chart a brighter course for the future. The WBG's experience in Africa offers important source of insight, drawing on an array of lessons learned from multi-sector operations in FCV or disaster-conflict nexus situations.The AFW Urban, Resilience and Land Units (IAWU4) brings together a wide range of important and interrelated development and financing instruments to support national and sub-national clients to: harness urbanization and enable effective land management in support of both growth and poverty reduction; foster social inclusion of marginalized groups; support the responsiveness and fiscal, financial, and management capacities of local governments – cities, municipalities, and rural districts – to deliver local infrastructure and decentralized services; strengthen resilience and disaster risk management related to natural hazards; reduce conflict and violence; scale-up access to finance for sub-national governments; and reduce the carbon footprint of cities.IAWU4 Unit is seeking a highly qualified and motivated Senior Urban Specialist (GG).

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  The World Bank engagement in Forced Displacement:Forced displacement has reached unprecedented levels, with over 122.6 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide, including 43.7 million refugees, 72.1 million internally displaced persons, and millions of additional displaced people in need of international protection (UNHCR). Addressing the needs of displaced populations and their host communities requires a strong development response to complement humanitarian aid and legal protection. The World Bank Group (WBG) plays a critical role in this effort, aligning with its twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity in a sustainable manner.In recent years the WBG has significantly scaled up its engagement in forced displacement, particularly through the IDA20 Window for Host Communities and Refugees (WHR), which provides $2.4 billion to support both refugees and host communities in low-income countries. This financing supports the World Bank's Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) Strategy pillar on mitigating cross-border crises and strengthening long-term resilience.In the Horn of Africa, refugee-hosting countries have adopted a range of policies, from Uganda's settlement model to Kenya and Ethiopia's camp-based approaches. There is growing momentum toward greater socio-economic inclusion of refugees, as reflected in: The Global Compact on Refugees (2018); The 2019 Global Refugee Forum commitments; The Munyonyo Declaration on Durable Solutions for Refugees (June 2023); Other regional agreements such as the Nairobi and Kampala Declarations.In this context, the World Bank's engagement through WHR and partnerships such as PROSPECTS (funded by the Netherlands and implemented with UNHCR, UNICEF, IFC, and ILO) presents a unique opportunity to support host governments in delivering on their commitments to sustainable refugee inclusion. Kenya's Forced Displacement Context:Kenya hosts over 644,000 refugees and asylum seekers, primarily from Somalia and South Sudan, many of whom have been displaced for generations. Kenya's Refugees Act (2021) strengthens refugee inclusion by integrating them into national development plans, public services, and economic activities, aligning with Kenya's commitments under the Global Compact on Refugees.To operationalize this, the Government of Kenya is developing the Shirika Plan, a roadmap for integrated refugee settlement focused on policy reforms, service delivery, skills development, climate resilience, economic growth, and durable solutions.The World Bank is scaling up its support through the WHR and Kenya Country Partnership Framework (2023-2028). Since 2022, three WHR-financed projects have been approved in education, jobs, and urban development, with further initiatives under discussion. This presents a key opportunity to advance refugee inclusion and host community development through policy engagement, financing, and partnerships. Roles and responsibilities:The Senior Operation Officer (Forced Displacement) will have a dual reporting – to the GTFS2 Practice Manager (full line) and to the AECE2 Operations Manager (dotted line). - so as to allow for both an effective engagement as part of the Kenya CMU team and a strategic alignment of the Kenya forced displacement program with the Bank-wide forced displacement initiatives. In particular, the Senior Operations Officer (Forced Displacement) will provide strategic and operational leadership on the forced displacement agenda in Kenya by:Supporting Strategic Delivery of WHR, PROSPECTS, and Other Relevant Initiatives•  Guiding project design by working with the CMU, FCV Country Coordinator, and task teams to integrate learning, evidence, and evolving on-the-ground needs.•  Advising on project implementation, including leading support missions to refugee-hosting areas, overseeing performance reviews, and monitoring activities (e.g., DPO prior actions under the Shirika Plan), with a focus on timely course corrections.•  Leading key analytical, knowledge, and advisory activities, including selected country-level studies on forced displacement.Supporting an Informed and Continuous Policy Dialogue•  Engaging in strategic policy dialogue, building on country-level policy assessments and partnership efforts, in collaboration with the CMU and relevant GPs.•  Supporting government planning and implementation, ensuring World Bank programsparticularly WHR-financed projectsare integrated into broader development efforts.Leveraging and Coordinating Internal and External Partnerships•  Further strengthening the World Bank-UNHCR partnership to align strategic approaches and support the country-level implementation of the joint action plan.•  Coordinating the PROSPECTS portfolio and ensuring alignment with the Global Forced Displacement team.•  Managing engagement with key external counterparts, including UN agencies, humanitarian actors, and bilateral development partners.•  The Senior Operations Officer may be assigned other tasks and deliverables as deemed appropriate by the Operations Manager and Country Director in consultation with the FCV PM. Selection Criteria•  Advanced degree in economics, law, social sciences, or another relevant (Masters or PhD), and a minimum of 8 years of relevant operational experience.•  Solid understanding of forced displacement issues.  Demonstrated capacity to understand the political economy and local context of forced displacement situations. •  Proven ability to think strategically, connect the dots easily across a range of topics to develop a broader coherent approach; ability to analyze and integrate information into conclusions and recommendations.•  Client orientation and results focus; pragmatism and effectiveness.•  Sound operational judgment.
