Job Title: ETC Economist - Africa Gender Lab

Job #: req21668
Location: Abuja, Nigeria
Organization: World Bank
Sector: Other
Grade: EC2
Term Duration: 1 year 0 months
Recruitment Type: Local Recruitment

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. For more information, visit www.worldbank.org
  • The Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) of the World Bank’s Africa Gender Impact Evaluation Unit, which is mapped to the Africa Region Chief Economist’s Office, conducts impact evaluations of development interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa, seeking to examine the gender gap between men and women when it comes to economic growth and empowerment. With the results of the impact evaluations, the GIL aims to support the design of innovative, scalable interventions to address gender inequality in productive economic sectors across Africa.
  • The impact objective of GIL is to increase take-up of effective policies by governments, development organizations, and the private sector in order to address the underlying causes of gender inequality in Africa, and through that promote growth.

Background

  • Institutional Context: The Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) is housed within the Africa Region Gender Impact Evaluation Unit, mapped to the Africa Region Chief Economist’s office.
  • Impact Objective: The Gender Innovation Lab has a clear and actionable impact objective:  to increase take-up of effective policies that can address the underlying causes of gender inequality in Africa, particularly in terms of women’s economic and social empowerment, and through that promote growth. GIL aims to do this by strengthening knowledge, in particular, by producing and delivering a new body of evidence and developing a compelling narrative, geared towards policymakers, on what works and what does not work in promoting gender equality.  This new evidence will deepen capacity for gender-informed policymaking throughout the Africa region, including policies created and enacted by governments, as well as common practices and program models of private firms, civil society, and development agencies.
  • Regional Orientation: GIL’s work is focused exclusively on Sub-Saharan Africa, where the team is currently working in 20+ countries with the aim of building an evidence base with lessons for the region.
  • Sector Specific: GIL is focused on conducting rigorous research in order to generate evidence on how to close the gender gap in earnings, productivity, assets, and agency. GIL’s work is grouped into several categories: agricultural productivity, private sector development, land and property rights, and youth employment, and social norms.
  • Impact Evaluations: GIL is currently working on over 80 impact evaluations, with additional work in the pipeline.
  • Influencing Policies and Practices that Matter for Gender Equality: GIL engages in rigorous research by partnering with high-profile, large-scale, innovative and/or potentially influential projects and project partners on its impact evaluations. GIL then uses its results, which are disseminated in papers, presentations, policy briefs, blogs, and in other ways, in order to influence how development projects and policies are conceived and run. GIL aims to help direct funding to the most effective programs and policies, increase the availability of good data to inform programs and policies that target gender inequalities, and increase the use of evidence to inform program and policy decisions.  

Nigeria Country-Level Lab:

  • Given the strategic position of Nigeria in SSA and owing to the size of the economy, large population with high ethnic diversity, and gender gaps, the GIL is intensifying its work in Nigeria with a dedicated country lab.
  • The Lab is pivoted on three pillars including 1) a diagnostic study of gender gaps in earnings, constraints to women’s economic empowerment in Nigeria, and mapping of evidence-based solutions to address these constraints 2) generating evidence on what works for women’s economic empowerment in Nigeria, and 3) using evidence on what works to shape policies and programs to accelerate gender inclusive growth. The Nigeria Gender Innovation Lab  (NiGIL), started in 2019 and achieved major milestones including the completion and launch of the gender diagnostic report, onset of new impact evaluations to generate new evidence on women’s economic empowerment (WEE), and establishment of partnerships with government actors at the national and sub-national levels.
  • NiGIL’s overarching goal is for the evidence on what works for women’s economic empowerment to be used in policymaking in Nigeria. Critical to achieving this objective is a timely and effective engagement of policymakers at all levels. Policymakers are central to the design and implementation of the transformative changes required to accelerate women’s economic empowerment.

Duties and Accountabilities

  • We are looking for an energetic and result-driven individual with a passion for women’s empowerment to join our team to support our policy engagement with government and non-government actors in the space of WEE in Nigeria, as well as support the knowledge production work through impact evaluations and other analytical work.
  • The Extended Term Consultant will work under the supervision of Africa Gender Innovation Lab Senior Economist and head of the Nigeria GIL, Julia Vaillant.

Key Responsibilities will include:

  • Getting GIL evidence used. Engage with government partners and World Bank project teams to present evidence and use evidence to build stronger policies on women’s economic empowerment (research uptake) in Nigeria.
  • Work closely with the research uptake team based in Washington, the economists leading work on Nigeria to help government and development partners effectively use the evidence that GIL produces from Nigeria and the rest of the continent. Identify key opportunities for policy influence at the policy and program level and mobilize the necessary resources to provide timely and targeted policy advice and capacity building, for greater effectiveness.

Tasks include, but are not limited to:

  • Organize capacity building workshops and policy engagement meetings with government partners and other stakeholders.
  • Interact directly with mid-level policymakers to share the relevant evidence.
  • Support the development and review of action plans with stakeholders and partners.
