Established in 1944, the World Bank Group is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for development solutions. The World Bank Group seeks to achieve the twin goals of (1) ending extreme poverty by 2030, and (2) promote shared prosperity for the bottom 40% of the population in every developing country.
The Group consists of five specialized institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
IBRD and IDA are commonly known as the World Bank, which is organized into six client-facing Regional Vice-Presidencies, several corporate functions, and fourteen Global Practices (GPs) to bring best-in-class knowledge and solutions to regional and country clients. The 14 GPs are: Agriculture; Education; Energy and Extractives; Environment and Natural Resources; Finance and Markets; Governance; Health, Nutrition and Population; Macroeconomics and Fiscal Management; Poverty; Social Protection and Labor; Social, Urban, Rural and Resilience; Trade and Competitiveness; Transport and ICT; and Water.
The Social Protection and Jobs Global Practice (SPJ GP) has an exciting, innovative, and growing portfolio of operational and analytical work in the areas of social inclusion, resilience and job creation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region seeking to promote peace and social stability. The SPJ program in MENA contributes to implementing the World Bank’s regional strategy, built around four pillars: Renewing the social contract – to generate a new development model that is built on greater citizen trust; more effective protection of the poor and vulnerable; inclusive and accountable service delivery; and a stronger private sector that can create jobs and opportunities for MENA’s youth; Regional cooperation – particularly around regional public goods and sectors such as education, water, and energy so as to foster greater trust and collaboration across MENA countries; Resilience – to refugee and migration shocks by promoting the welfare of refugees, internally displaced persons, and host communities by focusing on building trust and building their assets; and Reconstruction and recovery – through a dynamic approach that brings in external partners, leverages large scale financing, and move beyond humanitarian response to longer-term development wherever and whenever conflict subsides.
SPJ activities in MENA seek to help individuals and families find jobs, improve productivity, cope with shocks, invest in the health and education of their children, and protect the aging population. In collaboration with other GPs and CCSAs, SPJ in MENA seeks to assist Governments in the regions through interventions that:
