Director – Regional Programs (covering AFE and AFW) - GI
United States of America, Washington, Washington DC - World Bank Group
Description
Do 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 boosting growth and creating jobs – as a forward-looking strategy for stability and opportunity. 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.
Note: The location for this position will be confirmed at a later stage; however, the selected candidate will be based within the Africa region or Washington D.C..
Regional Context:
The Regional Programs Unit covers AFE and AFW regions (Sub-Saharan African countries), while closely exploring linkages and synergies with North Africa. The Unit has a small team of staff who work with the countries across the regions and the World Bank Group Knowledge Bank. The Director and the team in the unit set the strategic direction for regional programming across the continent and is responsible for supporting flagship platforms like M300, AgriConnect and Universal Health Care which are corporate priorities for the World Bank Group. The work program comprises bringing best in class development knowledge to issues facing countries across Africa, working with the regional Chief Economist and Regional Practice Directors on analytics to inform policy dialogue and operations, design and deliver the regional projects funded by IDA / IBRD resources and oversee the implementation of the regional project portfolio, and manage the convening of countries through formal structures (of Regional Economic Communities) or other platforms for cooperation. The Director is a member of the SLTs and RMTs of both regions, and reports to the AFW Vice President.
The World Bank's Western & Central Africa (AFW), Eastern and Southern Africa (AFE) Regions are committed to helping the African continent realize its considerable development potential. The core values guiding our work are passion for our mission of sustainable poverty reduction with keen attention to quality and transformative impact, putting the needs of the client at the center of all our activities, trust and respect as a common currency, intellectual rigor and curiosity, honesty and integrity, teamwork, openness to learning, and the courage to admit we do not always have the answer.
The continent is on the move, with a young population and a growing market of nearly 1.3 billion people. Yet, these vast opportunities are tempered by the lack of jobs and opportunities, keeping the population in poverty and frustration. Gaps in education, health, and skills have Africa only reaching forty percent of its estimated potential. Serious gaps in infrastructure and uneven and insufficient reform progress are also major impediments for job creation and income growth. The region needs to achieve sustained higher growth and create an enabling environment for private sector capital mobilization at large. This needs to be done concurrently as conflict, food insecurity, population growth, and the disruptive forces of climate change pose continued threats to progress.
Regional cooperation across the countries on the continent is critical for infrastructure, trade, competitiveness and for transformational development as envisaged under platforms such as M300, Agri Connect and Economic Corridors (e.g., Lobito). The current regional program is a significant part of the World Bank's engagement in the region with FY25 closing with financial commitments of around $23 billion for regional programs in Africa. These programs include M300 operations, physical and digital connectivity including corridors, water, minerals, and trade to boost economic growth. Skills and health are also critical for the regional strategy on jobs. The new regional strategy under development will promote selective transformative engagements with a sharp focus on jobs and pursuit of the most transformative development opportunities for the region where the World Bank Group has comparative advantage. Strong partnerships with other development partners and African regional entities is critical to success.
