World Bank Vacancies For Lead Education Economist/ Specialist

The World Bank is an international financial institution that provides loans[3] to developing countries for capital programs. The World Bank’s official goal is the reduction of poverty.
The body is currently recruiting as seen below:
Job #:130961
 
Job Title:Lead Education Economist/ Specialist
Job Family:Education
Job Type:Professional & Technical
Grade:GH
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Recruitment Type: International Hire
Language Requirement: English [Essential]; French [Desired]
Closing Date: 25-Apr-2013
 
General Background/ Description
The Africa Region (AFR) of the World Bank Group serves 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Countries range from low income countries among them fragile and conflict states to a small but growing number of middle income countries (MICs) but with weak human development indicators. Average annual per capita income varies widely and inequalities persist in most AFR countries, with most of the Region’s people living in poverty. The Bank’s strategy in AFR is focused on two pillars – competitiveness and employment, and vulnerability and resilience – and a foundation – governance and public-sector capacity.
 
The Human Development Department in the Africa Region is comprised of three sectors: Health, Education and Social Protection.  The education sector is divided into two units: West and Central Africa; and East and Southern Africa.  The Africa Education Sector Unit for West and Central Africa (AFTEW) is responsible for policy, analytical and operational work in the education sector in the sub-region. The unit currently has a portfolio of IDA projects, Trust Funds, analytical work and technical assistance products in fragile, low and middle-income countries.  The portfolio spans the full spectrum of the education sector from early childhood education to higher education as well as skills development.  Many countries have achieved considerable progress in access to basic education but particular attention is now needed on issues of improving the quality and relevance of education at all levels, expanding access to post-basic education and training, and improving skills development so as to produce a quality workforce to sustain and expand on the current growth in the region in an inclusive manner.
AFTEW works with client countries – at the regional, sub-regional, national and sub-national levels – to address these challenges. The aim is to contribute to breaking the equilibrium of low-level quality at all levels of education, increasing the efficiency and accountability of education services, modernizing the higher end of the formal education continuum, more effectively integrating science and technology, and better aligning skills formation with the needs of fast-growing Region, including MICs. In doing this, AFTEW aims to not only deliver high quality products but also to support efforts towards inclusive growth, and build capacity in client countries through collaborative interactions with country counterparts and other development partners.  It seeks to bring the best possible knowledge to bear on the practical challenges facing client countries and at the same time puts a high priority on knowledge generation, including through benchmarking and rigorous impact evaluations of education interventions. The lending portfolio is increasingly using new instruments to shift emphasis from financing inputs to delivering results; and to support holistic and systemic reforms. Increasingly, the unit is witnessing demand for knowledge products and innovative AAA work (including through fee based services). Specifically, AFTEW (i) assists countries in developing and implementing strategies for ensuring quality teaching and learning at all levels of education (pre-school, basic education, secondary education, tertiary education and science & technology), and in addressing the issues that face these countries’ disadvantaged population groups; (ii) ensures that education systems respond to the needs of labor markets; (iii) continues to stress the focus on results; builds capacity for monitoring and impact evaluation of reforms; fosters knowledge sharing; (iv) promotes innovative approaches, cross-sectoral linkages, and partnerships with the private sector and other development partners whenever relevant; (v) develops and scales up successful strategies for regional collaboration to leverage economies of scale; and (vi) works to strengthen governance, accountability, and transparency in the education sector.
Nigeria constitutes a major part of our work in education. With almost a quarter of the population of sub-Saharan Africa, success in Nigeria is critical to achieving significant progress at the regional level. The education sector is the largest for any single country in Africa and is characterized by several challenges at all levels. These include: the challenges of managing access at all levels in view of a large and growing population, addressing the high numbers of out-of-school children, challenges in quality of education and learning outcomes, efficiency and sustainability of financing, regional and gender disparities, a complex sector governance system; and political economy issues in  implementing reforms. The Bank currently has a large portfolio in the country and increasingly, the need for a multi-sectoral approach is becoming eminent.
In the light of the above, AFTEW is seeking Lead Education Economist/Specialist candidates to be based in Abuja, Nigeria with: (a) experience in policy technical dialogue, including with MIC clients; (b) have strong analytical skills; and (c) are interested in the practical aspects of World Bank operations. The successful candidate will work primarily on Nigeria but may be asked to support work in other countries in West and Central Africa. He/she may also be to work in Eastern and Southern Africa, depending on business need.  He/she will be expected to work closely with the AFTEW Sector Manager, Country Management Unit (CMU), the AFR education team, colleagues from other sectors and our clients to develop in leading our education assistance program in the country; and to weave the education agenda into the Country Partnership Strategy (CPS).  He/she will also work constructively with other partners, including bilateral donors, UN agencies, the European Union, and NGOs.
The strategic framework set out by the new Africa Strategy and the Bank’s Education Strategy 2020 has a number of implications for the Unit’s work program and skills mix.  Policy dialogue and operational work will become more strategically oriented, programmatic and results-oriented; both to support inclusive growth and competitiveness in high capacity countries and to address vulnerability and resilience in fragile and conflict states.  In particular, this will include emphasis on sector-wide approaches and partnerships, as well as programmatic approaches. The aim will be to deliver sustainable and comprehensive development solutions. This, in turn, implies strategic consolidation into larger programs and working multisectorally.  In all contexts, scaling up support to achieve the education MDGs will be accompanied by increased focus on improving quality of learning with appropriate tools for measurement of performance and results.  Demand for support in post-basic education, particularly skills development and higher education, has witnessed a significant growth in recent years and is likely to continue to be a major part of our program.  The Unit’s work will also reflect a better understanding of governance and the political economy of the sector in general, as well as support to countries towards more effective utilization of their own public resources which constitute the bulk of resources invested in the sector.  Although public sector capacity remains crucial, policy and operations work will reflect growing understanding of, and engagement with the private sector, other development partners and non-governmental organizations, as well as the essential role of households on individuals themselves.
Note: If the selected candidate is a current Bank Group staff member with a Regular or Open-Ended appointment, s/he will retain his/her Regular or Open-Ended appointment. All others will be offered a 3 year term appointment.
