UNICEF supports the Government of Niger's efforts to improve the situation of women and children, focusing on the following seven sectors through its 2019-2021 programme of cooperation: health, nutrition, water, hygiene and sanitation, education, child protection, and social inclusion, and adolescent and social norms.

Established in 1944, the World Bank Group (WBG) is one of the world's largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. 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 or the Corporation), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). Within the World Bank Group, IFC is a legally and financially autonomous institution, with its own Articles of Agreement, share capital, management, and staff. IFC has its own Board of Directors which is equal in composition to the Board of the IBRD. IFC is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. It is the world's largest multilateral source of loan and equity financing and advisory services for private sector in the developing world. Working with 2,000 businesses worldwide, IFC draws on more than six decades of experience to create opportunities and solutions where they are needed most. With support of its shareholders and as part of its recent capital increase package, IFC embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy ? IFC 3.0 ? the outcome of which will be doubling the volume of Corporation's business by 2030 and tripling the work it does in Low Middle Income (LMICs) and Low-Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected States (FCS). To do so, IFC will need to deploy its full range of financing, mobilization, and advisory services as well as convening power and thought leadership and knowledge resources. This also calls for the need to conceive and generate opportunities for investing by proactively working "Upstream" to create, deepen, facilitate, and expand markets and opportunities for the private sector and to design, catalyze and implement new investment products and projects. This strategy also relies on a closer WBG collaboration to ensure that public and private sector efforts are aligned towards encouraging and enabling private sector participation in economic activity. This supports the approach by which, when working with clients, the WBG will first seek private sector solutions to address development challenges?where such solutions are advisable and can be effective?and reserve public financing for projects only when other options are less optimal (the "Cascade" approach). The Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services (MAS) Group is a key industry group at IFC, responsible for managing a large part of IFC's overall business in terms of investment volume and capital at risk. MAS engages in a wide range of sub-sectors including light and heavy manufacturing, agribusiness, health, education, property, retail and tourism, and other areas, with both investment and advisory services delivered to IFC's clients through IFC's global network.IFC is looking to recruit a Manager, Global Manufacturing and Global Trade Supplier Finance (GTSF) Program, MAS, responsible for growing its manufacturing business, including base material industries and light manufacturing, and the GTSF Program.

IFC?a member of the World Bank Group?is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal year 2021, IFC committed a record $31.5 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information, visit [www.ifc.org.](https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/corp_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/home) IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected Situations (FCS). This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively working "Upstream" to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, originate and prepare investment projects. The ultimate objective of IFC's upstream activities is to create proprietary projects and investment opportunities by developing a sustainable pipeline of bankable transactions. To do this, IFC can engage in multiple type of upstream activities: (i) Early-stage, project level intervention in return for proprietary rights for equity and debt arranger role; (ii) Promoting and anchoring the design and implementation of platforms and programmatic approaches; and, (iii) Working closely across the World Bank Group to help develop policies, regulations and frameworks for private sector investments. Working upstream requires taking a systematic approach to understanding the regulatory and sector bottlenecks that prevent the flow of private capital into productive investment in our member countries and addressing these bottlenecks through World Bank engagement on policy reforms and programmatic interventions at the country and sector level. It also requires capacity to leverage WBG programs and projects to: (i) develop our own proactive sector interventions and (ii) to imagine and design projects even in the absence of reforms. Finally, and most importantly, it requires extending IFC's activities to partner with private sector entities to jointly prepare and develop investment projects using collaboration and co-development agreements. IFC is seeking an Upstream Associate Investment Officer (F1-Level) to focus on Upstream activities with experience in the energy sector to work in the Global Upstream Unit of the Infrastructure Department. The selected candidate will focus on developing and monitoring a high-quality Upstream project pipeline under the supervision of the Global Upstream Energy Lead.

Provide analytical and technical inputs to support the conceptualization and execution of upstream activities that lead to IFC investments by using energy experience and knowledge: o Prepare and implement upstream activities in the energy sector under the supervision of more senior staff to ensure that they lead to impactful and well performing investments. o Apply sector expertise, technical and/or business knowledge in monitoring sector portfolios, controlling quality of deliverables, and providing advice to regional teams as required, usually in complex transactions (including some in challenging markets such as FCS). o Scope and/or develop feasibility studies and implementation plans for Upstream projects that lead to IFC investments. o Serve as a technical specialist in upstream engagements requiring specialized energy sector knowledge/expertise. o Assist in designing and implementing scalable solutions and platforms that can be replicated across markets. ? Manage the procurement of external consultants including the preparation of terms of reference, development of evaluation criteria, assessment of technical and financial proposals, and review and approval of deliverables. ?

Carry out research to support the conceptualization and implementation of new upstream activities in the energy sector. ? Support business development activities for upstream infrastructure leveraging sector experience/knowledge and network of contacts developed through previous experiences. This includes sourcing of new client leads and participating in client pitches, and generating ideas for development of global platforms. ? Produce regular reports and presentations on the assigned Upstream portfolio including monitoring progress against project milestones and KPIs. ? Review World Bank and IFC sector and sub-sector strategies in what pertains to the development of investment opportunities in the energy sector. ? Contribute to upstream knowledge generation and dissemination activities, and gathering lessons from experiences across regions to share globally, and to help develop new global or regional product platforms that can bring in new business. ? Work with the World Bank to analyze sector and regulatory reforms that are needed to unlock opportunities for private investment and develop new PPP opportunities for collaboration. ? Coordinate work and form partnerships with staff across IFC, including technical and investment relevant staff in the Global Energy and Regional Upstream and Investment teams. Selection Criteria ?
