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.

The Human Development (HD) Practice Group (PG)

The World Bank Group (WBG) is the largest provider of development finance and solutions for human development working with high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries to develop country-tailored solutions for human development (HD) under the themes of education, health, social protection, jobs, and gender. The HD PG coordinates with other Practice Groups to ensure a coordinated and integrated approach to development challenges, and through the World Bank Regional Units is expected to deliver the strongest and most pertinent support to our client countries.

The Human Development Vice Presidency (HDVP) at the World Bank Group is made up of the Global Practices for education; health, nutrition, and population; and social protection and jobs; additionally, the HDVP houses the gender group. As such, HD is central to the World Bank Groups goals to end extreme poverty by 2030 and raise shared prosperity.


Health, Nutrition and Population Global Practice

The central contribution of the Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) Global Practice to the WBGs twin goals is to enable the achievement of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), in which all people are effectively covered by essential health services, and nobody suffers undue financial hardship as a result of illnesses. In the quest for UHC, the HNP Global Practice is building on progress made in the framework of the Millennium Development Goals, an array of analytical and advisory services, strategic partnerships with partner institutions and other financing agencies, and an active lending portfolio. The HNP Global Practice includes staff members in Washington, DC and country offices.

The HNP Global Practice is led by a Global Director, with the overall responsibility for the GP. The HNP Global Practice Leadership Team, which leads and manages the HNP GP, consists of the Global Director, Regional Directors, Practice Managers and Global Leads of the Global Solutions Areas/Global Solutions Groups (for Health Financing; Service Delivery; Nutrition; Population and Development; and Decision and Delivery Science). The HNP Global Practice works with and across multiple sectors, in recognition of the fact that HNP outcomes often depend on actions that lie outside the HNP sector. Accordingly, a capacity to work across GP boundaries, forge coalitions and influence multi-practice solutions is essential for achieving the major objectives of improving HNP outcomes.


THE GLOBAL ENGAGEMENT UNIT

The global engagement unit supports WBG HNP teams across the globe to deliver better results by strengthening HNP systems in several key areas, namely: Service delivery (including primary health care and health systems strengthening), pandemic preparedness and response, climate and health, and a number of cross-cutting areas including digital health, health systems management, health financing, governance, data strengthening, etc. The global unit also provides support to corporate events and processes such as IEG evaluations, briefs and briefings for Senior Management, and coordination across the Bank on global priorities such as the COVID-19 response, pandemic preparedness and response, and the Human Capital project.
