Description
Do you want to build a career that is truly worthwhile? Working at the World Bank provides a unique opportunity for you to help our clients solve their greatest development challenges. The World Bank consists of two entities – the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA). It is a global development cooperative owned by 189 member countries. As the largest development bank in the world, the World Bank provides loans, guarantees, risk management products, and advisory services to middle-income and creditworthy low-income countries, and coordinates responses to regional and global challenges.

Regional Context
The Middle East and North Africa Region faces challenges, not least ongoing political turmoil and recent conflicts, high youth unemployment, severe water scarcity, high energy subsidy, and human and social development outcomes that have been below those achieved by countries at similar levels of income. These challenges have been recently compounded by the health, social and economic impact of COVID-19 Pandemic.
The MNA Region is now implementing an ambitious enlarged strategy towards that end by a focus on four pillars – “the 4 R’s” – Renewing the social contract; Regional cooperation; Resilience to migration shocks; and Reconstruction and recovery. In parallel to the focus on immediate needs, the World Bank is helping countries develop new models for sustainable and inclusive growth in a dynamic and increasingly knowledge-based global economy. In 2019, the World Bank expanded the focus of the MENA regional strategy to include improving human capital outcomes, leveraging digital technologies, and opening-up business environments for the private sector to compete in free and fair market.
