Description
IFC — a member of the World Bank Group — is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet. For more information, visit . The Development Impact Measurement Department (CDI) within the Economics and Private Sector Vice Presidency (CEDVP) analyzes economic sectors to identify opportunities and solutions for private sector development and works closely with IFC Operations. It provides technical support to operations related to structuring, appraising, and monitoring investment and advisory projects and is responsible for reporting on IFC’s impact. The department is in charge of implementing the ex-ante project assessment framework (Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring, AIMM), monitoring and evaluating the impact of both investments and advisory projects, helping to ensure high-quality economic support for IFC investment teams on strategies and projects, and developing sector economic analyses with a focus on solutions for private sector development. In short, the department offers “end-to-end” support and impact assessments for IFC investments and advisory services, engaging upstream and downstream throughout the project cycle.CDI staff comprises sector economists and results measurement specialists assigned to units organized along IFC industry groupings. These include units for Manufacturing, Agribusiness, and Services (CDIMA), Financial Institutions (CDIFI), Infrastructure (CDIIN), and Funds and Disruptive Technology (CDIDF). The department also includes staff working on economic modeling, results measurement, corporate reporting, and sustainability that support all industry groups (CDIIM). The CDIMA team implements CDI mandates and deliverables described above about investment and advisory projects across Manufacturing, Agribusiness, and Services comprising health, education, tourism, retail, and properties (collectively, MAS). CDIMA is seeking an economist to perform development impact work across MAS sectors. The economist will provide, on an ongoing basis, operational support to assess the impact of MAS investments while ensuring consistent application of standard impact measurement and monitoring frameworks, help generate relevant lessons learned and support staff incorporate such lessons into project design, and contribute to evaluative work beyond the project lifecycle. The staff will work closely with the Investment and Advisory / Upstream staff responsible for designing and structuring IFC’s MAS operations under the supervision of the CDIMA Manager. Duties and Accountabilities

- Support the ongoing AIMM sector updates to reflect changing corporate priorities and new types of investments responding to emerging global challenges in existing sector frameworks.
