United States of America, Washington , Washington DC

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 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 Verticals 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 the WBG 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 WBG's work.IEG is directly responsible for:• Assessing whether the WBG Institutions' operational policies, programs and activities are producing the expected results, including global, regional, and other programs in which the Institution(s) is (are) a participant.• Incorporating evaluation assessments and findings into recommendations designed to help improve the development effectiveness of the WBG'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 WBG'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. Evaluation has an important role to play in the current evolution process of the WBG, not only in keeping the WBG 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. 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 challenge programs. 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 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. IEG operational departmentsIEG is led by the Director General, Evaluation (DGE), who reports directly to the Board of Executive Directors through the Committee on Development Effectiveness (CODE).

In addition, the PPAR cluster champion is housed in this unit under the leadership of the IEGID manager. Macro work or thematic evaluations, under IEGID work program are multi-level, multi-project evaluations which rely on mixed methods designs that usually combine synthetic analyses at the overall portfolio level with in-depth analyses at country, project or program levels. Within the framework of thematic evaluations, IEG employs a range of methodological approaches such as portfolio analyses, structured literature reviews, surveys and case study analyses. Duties & ResponsibilitiesThe IEGID Manager reports to the IEGSP Director and is a member of IEGSP Leadership Team (IEGSP LT) as well as of IEG's Extended Leadership Team (IEG ELT).

The Global Practice engages with citizens, communities and governments to deepen resilience, build inclusion, and empower vulnerable and marginalized groups to have influence and voice.  The Social Development GP prioritizes participatory, multi-sectoral approaches that build on norms and informal institutions to address social challenges and to build more inclusive, empowered communities.  It also works across the Bank's portfolio to implement the ESF standards and strengthen inclusive development (https://www.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/environmental-and-social-framework/brief/environmental-and-social-standards). Cross-GP collaboration is critical for the ESF and also the direct operational work of the staff. In particular, the GP focuses on three opportunity sets:- Social Resilience:  Deepening opportunities for people to thrive by building cohesive and resilient communities able to withstand divisions caused by inequality, violence, climate change, and other risks to their livelihoods. - Inclusion for All:  Expanding opportunities for people who have been excluded from participating fully in markets, services and society, because of their ethnicity, gender, disability, income, or religious or sexual orientation. - Empowerment:  Creating opportunities for people to lead their communities, engage more fully in government, and shape their own futures.Three overarching priorities of the Global Practice are to strengthen: (1) the analytics that underpin our country dialogue, operations, social risk management across the Bank's portfolio, and engagements on the global agenda exploiting traditional and new sources of data and analytical tools, including digital tools; (2) the synergies between operational interventions (ASAs and financing) and the Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) to help deliver on the promise of the ESF to bring a development focus to social risk management of the Bank's portfolio; and (3) the Community Driven Development operational instrument to more consistently focus on social dimensions of climate change, digital applications for community learning, empowerment and livelihoods, and norms and behavior change. POSITIONThe Senior Social Development Specialist will be based in Washington, D.C. and will co lead the Social Development operational portfolio and analytical work related to women's economic empowerment (WEE), gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, and community and local development (CLD) in Nigeria, Liberia and Sierra Leone.  The Specialist may provide support to SD led operations in other countries in the region.
