    Description

The East Asia and Pacific Region (EAP) and the EAP Regional Infrastructure Department (IEADR)
The EAP region serves 22 client countries with a total population of about 2 billion.

Clients range from large IBRD countries such as China, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines; to smaller IDA countries (or IDA/IBRD blend countries) such as Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, several Pacific Island states, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste.

The EAP region presents a dramatic illustration of the global dynamics, opportunities and risks of the 21st century.

EAP has made spectacular progress towards achieving the WBG's twin goals, eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity - extreme poverty declined faster than any other region and the income of the bottom 40% increased substantially.

Such a rapid transformation has made EAP one of the most dynamic regions in the world.

However, it also faces important challenges such as managing the largest shift in rural-to-urban population in human history, coping with rising inequality, addressing large infrastructure gaps, dealing with climate change, and building human capital.


The EAP Infrastructure Department (IEADR) is responsible for project lending and policy advisory work in the energy, transport and related climate action and private capital mobilization space for the EAP Region.

The department has a transport and energy lending portfolio of approximately $10 billion - and a diverse program of analytic and advisory work.

The principal themes underlying the infrastructure department's lending and advisory engagements include:

access to modern energy services and all-weather road and transport services; transitioning to a clean energy mix away from coal, and green transportation systems; building climate resilient energy and transportation infrastructure; integrated urban mobility planning and solutions; financial restructuring and debt-management at the infrastructure sector and economy-level; regional infrastructure network connectivity, integration and trade; and energy connectivity; and reform of state-owned enterprises and delivering efficient private finance solutions.


Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Lead and/or colead task teams in the preparation and implementation of transport projects in the East Asia and Pacific, covering the core elements (planning, financial and economic analysis, engineering, maintenance, and operations), but also incorporating key crosscutting issues such as gender, climate change, road safety, and private sector engagement.
  • Contribute to developing and/or revising the regional transport strategy, ensuring alignment with country programs as part of Systematic Country Diagnostics, Country Partnership Frameworks, and the Regional Partnership Framework for East Asia and Pacific Countries.
  • Engage with, advise, and provide guidance to clients in designing and advancing sector policy and institutional reforms and capacity building programs, seeking to develop capacity in the implementing entities to plan, develop, and manage transport projects under their jurisdiction, with increased attention to issues such as gender equality and climate change.
  • Contribute to the policy dialogue under the guidance of the Practice Manager and the CMU, with external partners/development partners in the countries and region.
  • Provide support and guidance to improve the quality of transport projects in general, through peer reviews, technical advice, quality assurance, indepth review of problem projects, and junior staff mentoring.
  • Provide procurement and contract management support and advice to the project implementing agencies.
  • Participate in crosssectoral teams responsible for preparation of policy notes, Systematic Country Diagnostics and Country Partnership Frameworks, public expenditures reviews, sectoral studies, and research and policy development activities on the topics/sections pertaining to the transport, urban development, trade and competitiveness, and agriculture sectors.
  • Support the World Bankwide professional community of staff engaged in the transport practice by participating in a selected number of thematic technical groups (Global Solutions Groups or Communities of Practice) and drafting of technical notes and supporting cuttingedge work in collaboration with other global practices to enhance knowledge creation and dissemination and expanding the existing knowledge base.
  • Stay abreast of recent developments in the transport sector worldwide, and on crosscutting issues, in relation to the topics of specialization for this position; identifying knowled
