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
ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. With 189 member

sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data,

challenges. For more information, visit www.worldbank.org.
Western and Central Africa (AFW) Region
We need the best and brightest talent focused on Sub-Saharan African countries
in order to harness the potential and innovation happening across the
continent. Africa is a continent on the move, with a young population and a
growing market of nearly 1.2bn people. We are committed to making the Africa
regional teams into leading innovation hubs.
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.
In West and Central Africa, the World Bank is a leading partner with a growing
portfolio of 350 projects totaling more than $38 billion in areas such as
agriculture, trade and transport, energy, education, health, water and
sanitation- all to support job creation, gender equality, poverty reduction,
and better lives. Across the continent, the World Bank’s program has nearly
doubled over the last 10 years. By 2030, about 87% of the world’s extreme poor
are projected to live in Sub-Saharan Africa, so this is where our mission to
end extreme poverty and to promote shared prosperity will be achieved.
Are you ready to make an impact? We are looking for dedicated professionals to
join our innovative and diverse team to improve people’s lives and help
countries build back better after COVID.
The Human Development (HD) Practice Group (PG)
Human development is at the core of the World Bank’s strategy to improve
people’s lives and support sustainable development. The Human Development
research program spans education, health, social protection, and labor.
Education Global Practice
Education is a human right, a powerful driver of development and one of the
strongest instruments for reducing poverty and improving health, gender
equality, peace, and stability. It delivers large, consistent returns in terms
of income and is the most important factor to ensure equality of
opportunities. For more information:
