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 Development Finance Vice-Presidency (DFi) is responsible for the management and monitoring of policies, procedures, and resources for the World Bank's development financing vehicles. DFi sets the policy framework for the World Bank Group's development finance by engaging in strategic resource mobilization, playing an intermediation role to help align the needs of recipients, WBG institutional priorities, and priorities of funding partners, through a variety of funding instruments. These include the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank's fund for the poorest, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), and trust funds, including Financial Intermediary Funds (FIFs).Given the nature and variety of this portfolio, DFi works closely with the President's office, Executive Directors, WBG senior management, corporate and operations units across the WBG, funding partners and government officials. As such, DFi is structured to provide the institution with a more holistic approach to financing, financial policy, and strategic fundraising across IDA, IBRD, and Bank/IFC trust funds and partnerships.Within DFi, the Development Finance Trust Funds and Partner Relations (DFTPR) Department is at the forefront of the Bank's engagement on Trust funds, FIFs, cofinancing and partner relations. The Department is responsible for managing and administering the almost US$50 billion portfolio of trust funds and FIFs, designing and establishing new, multi-donor partnership initiatives underpinned by trust funds and FIFs, and setting the policy and procedural framework for trust funds, FIFs and Partnerships in such a manner they complement IDA and IBRD. Currently, the department holds a trustee role for 28 FIFs.DFTPR comprises two units – i) Trust Funds Policy and Partner Relations, and ii) FIFs, Digital and Analytics (subsumed under the title of "Financial Management"). The Evolution Roadmap of the World Bank, with its concurrent focus on the financial model and the operational model, has presented several new opportunities for DFTPR and entailed that the work program of the department be expected to pivot towards new ways of functioning and responding to new challenges. These include inter alia an enhanced focus on co-financing in the public sector, developing new partnerships such as with more expansive sovereign and non-sovereign entities, responding to expectations of financial innovations in the management of FIF portfolios, resultant tweaks and changes to the policies on trust funds and FIFs, as well as increased demands for data and analytics. In addition, with the global attention to the reform of MDBs, WBG trusts funds and FIFs are in the public eye in ways that they were not previously. This requires an understanding of external and internal communications, an appreciation of how trust funds and FIFs work operationally and how they are linked to the broader landscape of the WBG's work and ultimately, their impact on the ground. Korea World Bank Partnership FacilityKWPF was established in May 2013, is an initiative to strengthen ties between the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance and the World Bank Group (WBG).
