Job 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.
The South Asia Region (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) is at a crucial stage of development. Rapid economic growth, driven by urbanization and demographic dividend, has brought down poverty rates, but severe forms of exclusion and disparities based on ethnicity, caste, and gender remain. Rapid growth has also come with congestion and pollution in cities. South Asia is more than other regions affected by changes in temperature and extreme weather events. Additional challenges are that South Asia is underperforming in exports, has large informal sectors and low female labor force participation rates. All these challenges must be addressed to secure rapid growth in coming decades.
Two new multi-sectoral projects under a Rohingyas and Host Communities program are currently under preparation, to strengthen resilience through inclusive services for human capital development and creating opportunities for improved livelihoods in Cox’s Bazar and the island of Bhasan Char.
The Senior Operations Officer will provide advice in the overall design and implementation of the Bank’s support to displaced Rohingyas and Host Communities in Bangladesh. She/he will report to the Country Director and will be a member of the Department Management Team (DMT) of the CMU and have a dotted reporting line to the Practice Manager, GTFS1, in FCV Group (while retaining professional mapping to her/his “home” GP, if applicable). The Senior Operations Officer will work in close collaboration with the Operations Manager.

Providing strategic leadership on the WB’s contributions to the Rohingyas and Host Communities support agenda in Bangladesh, in line with the WB’s global approach on forced displacement;

Establish an experience-sharing platform; and ensure program contribution to the global body of knowledge on forced displacement;
Guiding the preparation of selected country-level analytical pieces and assist with ensuring an open and effective dialogue and collaboration among development partners with key Government counterpart institutions, including the Prime Minister’s Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
Keeping the CMU and GPs abreast of global knowledge, data, financing instruments and the WB operational and analytical highlights on forced displacement.
