Operations Officer at World Bank

Posted on Wed 05th Mar, 2014 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (1 comments)


World Bank - Sub-Saharan Africa, with a population of around 782 million people in 47 countries, is home to 36 of the world’s poorest countries. Making headway against poverty in sub-Saharan Africa continues to present the world with its most formidable development challenge. The Africa Region is committed to working with Africans and other development partners to make faster progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, particularly cutting poverty levels in half by 2015.

The strategic thrust of the Environment and Natural Resources group (AFTNW) includes sustainable land, water, forest, coastal and fisheries management; climate change adaptation and mitigation and related disaster risk management; environmental governance; and ensuring sound environmental design and implementation of all projects and programs in the Africa region, including addressing environmental issues in key natural resource extraction and large infrastructure projects, and protecting regional and global public goods.

Within the Africa Region’s Sustainable Development Department, the mission of AFTNW is to work with national and local governments and with communities to improve sustainable management of natural resources and improve preparedness to natural disasters across several CMUs. AFTNW is also involved with and in charge of cross-cutting themes program for sustainable land and water management.

The core values guiding our work are passion for our mission of sustainable development and poverty reduction, putting the needs of the client at the center of all our activities, trust and respect as a common currency, intellectual rigor and curiosity, honesty and integrity, teamwork, openness to learning and the courage to admit we do not always have the answer.

More specifically, the World Bank is supporting the implementation of a range of programs in natural resources management including integrated water shed management, sustainable land and landscape management, policy dialogue on green economy, mitigation, adaptation and resilience to climate change, as well as climate finance supporting clients’ mitigation and adaptation needs. The region is currently identifying and scaling up opportunities to assist clients in addressing their most critical environmental challenges. The Bank is also promoting the adoption of sustainable land management practices with a view to generating multiple benefits on the ground. Not only do these practices prevent land degradation but they also enhance the resilience of operating systems in relation to climate change, they can sequester carbon (conservation agriculture, reforestation, etc.) and they contribute to improve biodiversity.

In Nigeria, the World Bank currently has a huge role supporting the success and implementation of activities financed under International Development Association (IDA), Global Environment Facility (GEF) and Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) for the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP). This is a $500 million 8-year multi-sectoral and multi-scale project designed for intervention to mitigate the impact of gully erosion and land degradation, disaster risk management. It also includes actions that contribute to strengthening Nigeria’s strategic framework for climate action with an objective to enhance Nigeria’s capacity to promote low carbon, climate resilient development. Given the enormity of the problem of soil erosion in the project area, the complex web of actors and stakeholders, the range of control measures, and the slow commencement of intervention activities on the ground, a robust implementation support and supervision are required.

In Zambia the World Bank has a particular role to support implementation of activities financed under the Multi-Donor Strategic Climate Fund (SCF) through the Zambia, Strengthening Climate Resilience in the Barotse Sub-Basin Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) Phase II) Project. This is expected to contribute towards the achievement of Zambia’s PPCR goal to mainstream climate change into the most economically and vulnerable sectors of the economy, in order to ensure sustainable economic development towards the attainment of the country’s Vision 2030. PPCR is one of the sub-set funding for SCF under climate investment fund (CIF). The PPCR is a dedicated funding to pilot new approaches with potential for scaled-up, transformational action aimed at a specific climate change challenge or sectoral response. In Zambia, The PPCR follows a programmatic and multi-sectoral coordinating approach to achieving climate resilience in vulnerable sectors of a national economy. This helped to directly target the rural most vulnerable communities through a participatory investment planning process while leveraging additional funding from over 5 donors to date.

The Bank is also expecting to experience an increasing support request from the client on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation "plus" conservation, the sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+), agenda in Nigeria through Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) with the current selection nomination of Nigeria into the FCPF and related potential investments in Zambia (e.g., under the BioCarbon Fund).

In order to help strengthen and implement its interventions under its Sub-Saharan Africa Program, AFTNW is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Operations Officer with a focus on climate change to be based in Nigeria. The Climate Change Adaptation Operation Officer will provide technical and advisory support to the Banks’ projects and program in Nigeria and Zambia as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

Specifically, the Operations Officer’s support will include, but will not be limited to, supporting: the Nigeria NEWMAP; Zambia PPCR (II); and REDD+ agenda in Nigeria as a core member of the Bank Operations. The position staff time will be shared on a 50-50 basis between Nigeria and Zambia.
