Term Duration: 4 years 0 months
Recruitment Type: Local Recruitment
Location: Abuja,Nigeria
Required Language(s): English
Preferred Language(s):
Closing Date: 10/15/2021 (MM/DD/YYYY) at 11:59pm UTC

Description :

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.

Regional context :

Western and Central Africa :

Western and Central Africa is a region with diverse cultures, beliefs, languages, and lifestyles – marked by contrasts of stability and conflict; affluence and poverty.  Home to about half a billion people, it encompasses 22 countries stretching from the westernmost point of Africa across the equator and partly along the Atlantic Ocean to the Republic of Congo in the South. The sub-region is rich in resources and brimming of opportunities. It made impressive progress in regional cooperation and includes two monetary unions – the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) that cover 13 countries between them.

Yet these vast opportunities are tempered by persistent gaps in education, health, and skills, which have Africa only reaching forty percent of its estimated potential. Moreover, conflict, food insecurity, population growth, and the disruptive forces of climate change threaten to curtail or even reverse the progress that has been made over the past decades. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought back to the forefront the risks posed by weak health systems and poor surveillance. Many countries in the region that learned difficult lessons from the West Africa Ebola outbreak in 2014 are applying some of the lessons and using all existing instruments and expertise to curb the pandemic while prioritizing the poorest and most vulnerable people.

The World Bank Western and Central Africa Region, comprised of approximately 1,139 staff mostly based in about 22 country offices, is committed to helping countries to realize their considerable development potential and become more competitive in the global economy by focusing on the following priorities :

  • Creating Jobs and Transforming Economies : We are working with countries across Africa to stimulate job creation and economic transformation by leveraging all sources of finance, expertise, and solutions to promote investment ;
  • Building up the Digital Economy : We are supporting Africa’s vision to ensure that every African individual, business, and government is connected by 2030 ;
  • Institutions more Efficient and Accountable : Our support is helping governments strengthen public policy processes, manage resources effectively, and reinforce fair and reliable delivery of public services ;
  • Investing in People : We are at the forefront of helping African countries accelerate human capital gains and empower women by improving their access to education and skills acquisition, sexual and reproductive health services, and employment opportunities ;
  • Supporting Climate Change Mitigation and Adaption : In the face of increasing climate-related risks, we are working with African countries to advance efforts to adopt renewable energy, climate-smart agriculture, and green infrastructure ;
  • Addressing the Drivers of Fragility, Conflict and Violence : Given the cross-border nature of conflicts in Africa, we are employing an approach that simultaneously focuses on the drivers of fragility while also supporting well-targeted regional initiatives to create opportunities for peace and shared prosperity ;
  • Building Partnerships and Working across the African Continent : We are scaling up our work on regional integration, taking a holistic view of the continent that covers both North and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The World Bank is a dedicated partner for Western and Central African countries, helping them deliver strong development outcomes for their people. A brighter future for the region is a better future for the world.

Nigeria

The Private Specialist will be expected to work on Nigeria.

Nigeria is central to the World Bank’s mission of eliminating global poverty.  A multi-ethnic and diverse federation of 36 autonomous states, Nigeria is already Africa’s largest country (over 200 million people) and Africa’s largest economy (nominal GDP of around USD 450 billion in 2019). With its abundance of resources, a young and entrepreneurial population, and a dynamic private sector, Nigeria has the potential to be a giant on the global stage. At the same time, with over 40% of its population (over 80 million people) in poverty, Nigeria has the second largest population of extreme poor in the world. Economic growth, at 2.2% in 2019, has been below the rate of population growth for the last five years, the economy and public finances continue to be highly vulnerable to oil price shocks and not enough jobs are being created for the 3 million plus young Nigerians coming of working age every year, adding to the pool of unemployed and under-employed Fragility, conflict and insecurity afflict many parts of the country, in particular but not only the Northeast, and corruption and weak capacity plague the public sector, eroding the trust that is the basis of the social contract between citizens and the state and on many human development indicators, Nigeria ranks amongst the lowest in the world (6th lowest on the HCI). To provide economic opportunities for its growing population, Nigeria needs to unlock private investment and job creation, and further the structural transformation and diversification of its economy.

The low levels of human capital and the slow progress on diversification reflect and also contribute to the low levels and quality of public expenditures. The levels of public spending are in turn constrained by one of the lowest ratios of government revenues to GDP in the world. And the quality of public spending is hampered by a complicated and sometimes unclear division of roles and responsibilities between the federal and sub-national levels, by insufficient transparency and accountability about the performance of government agencies, and by political hurdles to redirecting public expenditures away from regressive and inefficient uses. To realize its considerable potential, and to fulfill the government’s ambition to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty by 2030, Nigeria has to make tangible progress on these critical development challenges, at both the federal and sub-national levels, and this will take concerted effort, political will and a sustained focus on robust implementation of prioritized policy and institutional reforms and public investment programs.

The FY20-FY24 World Bank Group Country Partnership Framework defines the areas where the WBG will engage and how we will engage.   https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/526171611619063445/pdf/Nigeria-Country-Partnership-Framework-for-the-Period-FY21-FY25.pdf
