Pour chaque enfant un avenir
Malgré sa vaste superficie physique et ses ressources naturelles, la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) est l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde, se classant au 176e rang sur 188 pays dans le rapport 2015 sur le développement humain. La pauvreté des enfants est généralisée, en particulier dans les zones touchées par les conflits et difficiles à atteindre. Selon une étude récente de l'UNICEF, 80 % des enfants âgés de zéro à 15 ans subissent au moins deux privations majeures de leurs droits. Malgré une croissance soutenue ces dernières années, la taille de l'économie de la RDC reste bien trop faible pour fournir suffisamment de recettes publiques pour répondre aux besoins fondamentaux de la population, des enfants en particulier. Depuis 2016, l'instabilité politique, la persistance des conflits dans l'Est de la RDC et la forte baisse des prix mondiaux des matières premières ont été des facteurs aggravants.

Background
In the DRC, despite notable progress, several challenges continue to hamper the implementation of the Paris Declaration (2005), the Accra Agenda for Action (2008), the Busan Agreement (2010) on the Global Partnership, the Agenda 2063 and numerous other public policies. Significant obstacles remain, particularly with regard to the development of national planning and strategies that would facilitate development partners alignment.
Since its inception, the Partners Coordination Group (GCP) has agreed to engage in proactive dialogue and to strengthen partnership with the Government of the DRC in support of the development agenda.
The volatile political and security context in the country has affected disbursements from Development partners, leading to delays or adjustments to initial commitments. Notwithstanding, between 2000 and 2023 Development Partners invested more than $63 billion in DRC, which highlights the structural and systemic challenges facing development effectiveness.
In 2025, the DRC adopted a National Strategic Development Plan (PNSD 2024-28). Government Action Plan 2024–2028 still needs to be completed. In addition, the interrelation between the various planning documents remains unclear (Challenge). The Council of Ministers also adopted the National Aid Policy in July 2022. To ensure its effective implementation, a decree is awaiting approval to establish the Development Aid Coordination and Orientation Framework (CCOAD), which primary mission will be to provide strategic orientations to improve development effectiveness and ensure alignment with national priorities. These different public policies aim to foster alignment and strengthen aid effectiveness and to promote more inclusive and transparent development cooperation. They are in line with the efforts made within the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation, co-chaired by the DRC from 2022 to 2024 at the global level.
The GCP is composed of more than 30 technical and financial partners, bilateral and multilateral. It is co-chaired by the DSRSG/RC/HC and a development partner on a six-month rotation. It is supported by a four- member Executive Committee (ExCom), composed of the two co-chairs, as well as the incoming and the outgoing co-chairs from the development partners. The Resident Coordinator's Office houses the GCP Technical Secretariat.
This position will lead the GCP technical secretariat, support the GCP, and provide technical assistance to the Government of DRC and development partners on development coordination.

Operations Officer -Local Champions Initiative (LCI) - GG
Democratic Republic of Congo, Kinshasa, Kinshasa - international finance corporation
Build a career with impact. Working at the World Bank Group (WBG) provides a unique opportunity to help countries solve their greatest development challenges. As one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries, the WBG is a unique partnership of five global institutions dedicated to ending poverty, increasing shared prosperity, and promoting sustainable development. With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, the WBG works 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.
The International Finance Corporation (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 2025, IFC committed a record $71.7 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging private sector solutions, and mobilizing private capital to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet. For more information, visit: https://www.ifc.org
The WBG estimates that by 2030, half the world's extreme poor will live in countries characterized by fragility, conflict, and violence. In these settings, the private sector can help transform livelihoods by creating jobs, providing goods and services, generating tax revenues, and rebuilding infrastructure. Fragile economies demand innovative approaches that go beyond country, regional, or sectoral strategies.
In recognition of this, IFC has identified supporting stability and growth in fragile and conflict-affected situations as a top priority, pledging that 40 percent of its annual commitments will be in International Development Association-eligible (IDA) and Fragile and Conflict-affected Situations (FCS) countries by 2030.
IFC's Fragile and Conflict-affected Situations (FCS) Africa is an advisory team, dedicated to piloting innovative tools to enable IFC to scale up its engagement (investment and advisory services) in and across all fragile countries in Africa. The team helps IFC to deliver on its FCS commitments under the World Bank Group's Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) Strategy, and the 2018 Capital Increase Package.
The Local Champions Initiative is a project designed and delivered by the FCS team and aims to expand engagement with strong domestic businesses to support local economic development, job creation and resilience.

The FCS Africa team is looking to recruit an experienced Operations Officer to lead and scale the Local Champions project in Burundi and to design and deliver the project in DRC. The focus of the LCI approach in DRC will be on the Katanga and Kolwezi area to identify and support the growth of high potential SMEs linked to the mining industry and other sectors around the WBG focus area of the Lobito corridor, with linkages to the WBG Inga and Pact programs.
