Job description

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.

For more information, visit www.worldbank.org

In fiscal year 2019, the WBG committed more than $62.3 billion in loans, grants, equity investments, and guarantees to its members and private businesses. IBRD saw continued client demand for its services and made commitments totaling $23.2 billion. IDA, our fund for the poorest, provided $21.9 billion to support countries most in need to face their toughest challenges. IFC and MIGA, our two institutions focused on private sector development, delivered about $9.3 billion in financing and issued $5.5 billion in guarantees respectively. The WBG is governed by 188 member countries and delivers services out of 120 offices with nearly 15,000 staff located globally.

The vision of the WBG is to eradicate extreme poverty by reducing the number of people living on less than $1.90 a day to 3 percent by 2030 and promote shared prosperity by fostering the income growth of the bottom 40 percent in every country.

To achieve this vision, the WBG Board of Governors approved a strategy for the organization in 2013. This strategy leverages, for the first time, the combined strength of the WBG institutions and their unique ability to partner with the public and private sectors to deliver customized development solutions backed by finance, world class knowledge and convening services.

The strategy has three components:

(1) maximizing development impact by engaging country clients in identifying and tackling the most difficult development challenges
(2) promoting scaled-up partnerships that are strategically aligned with the goals
(3) crowding in public and private resources, expertise and ideas.

The architecture underpinning the strategy and instrumental to its success is an operating model introduced in July 2014 based on 14 Global Practices (GPs) and 5 Cross-Cutting Solution Areas (CCSAs). Since July 1, 2015 these 14 GPs are organized under 3 Practice Group Vice Presidencies: Sustainable Development (SD); Economics, Finance and Institutions (EFI); and Human Development (HD).
