The UNICEF family is committed to include everyone, irrespective of their race/ethnicity, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, socio-economic background, minority, or any other status.

UNICEF encourages applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of gender, nationality, religious or ethnic backgrounds, and from people with disabilities, including neurodivergence.

UNICEF provides reasonable accommodation throughout the recruitment process. If you require any accommodation, please submit your request through the accessibility email button on the UNICEF Careers webpage [Accessibility | UNICEF](https://www.unicef.org/accessibility#contact).

Senior Education Specialist/Economist - GG
Description

Do you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? Working at the World Bank Group provides a unique opportunity for you to help our clients solve their greatest development challenges. 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, increasing shared prosperity and promoting sustainable development. 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. Please visit [www.worldbank.org.](https://www.worldbank.org./)

 

THE LCR REGION – PEOPLE AND EDUCATION

The 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. We also work closely with education colleagues from other regions of the World Bank as well as colleagues in other sectors. We take pride in provision of intensive implementation support to our client governments, seek to collaborate with WBG colleagues to offer integrated development solutions across sectors, and partner with other financiers, civil society, and academia to provide the most effective support possible.
