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 Group Established in 1944, the WBG is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. 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). With 189 member countries, the World Bank Group is a unique global partnership fighting poverty worldwide through sustainable solutions. Country ContextAfrica (AFE) Region:Home to almost 60% of Africa's population, the Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE) region is geographically, culturally, and economically diverse and comprises 26 countries stretching from the Red Sea in the North to the Cape of Good Hope in the South. AFE boasts some of the world's richest natural resources. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) produces much of the world's mined cobalt, and Angola leads the region in the production of crude oil. For countries in Southern Africa, precious metals and minerals are the biggest exports, including gold and diamonds from South Africa and platinum from Zimbabwe. Many of these minerals will be in critical need to combat climate change and present a growth opportunity in a low-carbon future. Signs of economic transformation are also emerging in ICT, infrastructure and a vibrant private sector that is supported by a young and dynamic population.Despite the region's potential, economic growth remains low in many of the AFE countries. Key challenges include persistent inequality and limited access to productive employment, heavy debt burdens exacerbated by slow growth, low agricultural productivity, weak infrastructure, low human capital and limited resilience to climate change and conflict. This creates a huge development challenge, impacts heavily on the lives and livelihoods of people, and hinders regional integration and trade. 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 World Bank's Eastern and Southern Africa Region, comprised of approximately 1,200 staff, has been helping countries realize their considerable development potential by focusing on the five dimensions of People, Prosperity, Planet, Infrastructure, and Digital to realize rapid economic transformation that unlocks the region's growth potential, addresses unemployment and underemployment, reduces poverty and inequality, manages debt and fiscal pressures, and builds resilience. The Planet Vertical The Planet Practice Vertical helps countries tackle their most complex challenges in the areas of Agriculture and Food; Climate Change, Environment; Environmental and Social Framework; Social Development; and Water.   Eastern and Southern Africa Planet Department:The Africa Eastern and Southern Africa Planet Department (AFEPD) provides a wide range of financial, knowledge and convening services to help address Eastern and Southern Africa countries' most complex development issues.  The Planet agenda in Country Partnership Frameworks typically supports strategic priorities of economic growth, jobs creation, improved service delivery, enhanced inclusion, and building of resilience and sustainability, and cross cutting themes such as climate mitigation and adaptation, women's empowerment, and institutional transformation. The AFE Planet Department is led by the Regional Practice Director and consists of four global practices (GPs); Agriculture and Food, Environment, Social Development, and Water, and leads on the Climate Change agenda. The Department has a robust engagement in the region, including, in the last fiscal year, delivery of $1.6B in new lending, a portfolio of $17 billion in financing in 96 projects, and annual disbursement of over 21% of that financing.  Our knowledge program is extensive and provided through a mix of Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA), including Reimbursable Advisory Services. We delivered 25 new knowledge products last fiscal year across all the Planet topics.   The AFE Planet Department also innovates in the use of financial instruments and partnerships, leveraging One World Bank Group working in close partnership with IFC and MIGA. Water Global Practice:Water touches every aspect of development and links with nearly every Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). It drives economic growth, supports healthy ecosystems, and is essential and fundamental for life itself. Water availability and management impacts whether poor girls are educated, whether cities are healthy places to live, and whether growing industries or poor villages can withstand the impacts of floods or droughts. For more information: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/water  AFE Water:The Water Unit, SAEW2, is one of the two Water Units in the AFE Planet Department.  SAEW2 delivers the Water program in three selected Country Management Units (CMUs): AECC2 (Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Burundi, Sao Tome Principe); AECE3 (Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea); and AECS1 (South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini and Namibia).  The program focuses on the following strategic priorities:  (i) Water for People: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene access gaps are increasing in the region. Over the last 20 years, 63 million more people in AFE lack water, and 174 million lack sanitation, alongside significant operational inefficiencies and increasing city water shortages.  (ii) Water for Food: Sub Saharan Africa has the highest malnutrition rate (22%) and the highest population growth rate, agriculture is about 50% of all jobs and yet only 5% of cultivated land is irrigated, despite land and water resources.  (iii) Water for the Planet: The region has high dependence on Transboundary Waters - covering around 64% of the land area (highest of any region in world), declining natural water storage due to degradation of watersheds and water towers lowering capacity to buffer shocks and 60% of installed hydropower over 20 years old, with US$ 2 billion investment needs for dam safety and rehabilitation.  The SAEW2 portfolio of projects and analytical work spans water supply and sanitation, irrigation, transboundary water and water resources management.  It includes 11 active projects totaling US$2.74 billion in commitments, co-leads 5 projects mapped to other Units within AFE, jointly leads 2 regional projects covering AFE countries, and has a pipeline totaling over $680 million, and a total of 9 active ASAs.

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).
