Established in 1964, the African Development Bank Group (the Bank) is the premier pan-African development institution, promoting economic growth and social progress across the continent. There are 81 member States, including 54 in Africa (Regional Member Countries).\u00a0 The Bank\u2019s development agenda is delivering the financial and technical support for transformative projects that will significantly reduce poverty through inclusive and sustainable economic growth. In order to sharply focus the objectives of the Ten-Year Strategy (2013 \u2013 2022) and ensure greater developmental impact, five major areas (High 5s), all of which will accelerate our delivery for Africa, have been identified, namely: energy, agro-business, industrialization, integration and improving the quality of life for the people of Africa.<\/p>\n
Job Description<\/strong><\/p>\n Job Title:\u00a0Chief Fragility and Resilience Officer<\/strong><\/p>\n THE COMPLEX:<\/strong><\/p>\n Within the Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery Complex (RDVP), the Bank has five (5) Regional Development, Integration and Business Delivery Directorates, one in each region of Africa: North, South, East, West, and Central. Each Regional Directorate is headed by a Director General (DG) and is staffed with the relevant sectoral functions and administrative capabilities for rapid delivery of services to client countries. The Regional Directorates provide overall strategic direction to country offices within the regions and are responsible for the Bank\u2019s operations, business development, project management and overall effective delivery of the Bank\u2019s High 5s agenda:\u00a0\u2018Light up and Power Africa,\u2019 \u2018Feed Africa,\u2019 \u2018Industrialize Africa,\u2019 \u2018Integrate Africa,\u2019 and \u2018Improve the Quality of Life for the People of Africa\u2019.<\/p>\n THE HIRING DEPARTMENT:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Transition States Coordination Office (RDTS) oversees the implementation of the Bank\u2019s Strategy for Addressing Fragility and Building Resilience in its Regional Member Countries (RMCs). It also coordinates lending and non-lending activities of fragility and resilience experts stationed in the various Regional Directorates and Country Offices. Apart from RMCs, the Bank also works with a number of international partners including the African Union (AU), The United Nations System (UNS), Regional Economic Communities (RECs), Lake Basin Organizations (LBOs) and other Specialized Agencies including other Development Finance Institutions (DFIs).<\/p>\n Over the past decade, Africa has seen enormous growth and transformation that has expanded opportunities and improved living conditions for millions of people. More than two-thirds of African countries have strengthened their quality of governance, improved basic services, and expanded economic opportunities. Yet, there are significant risks that this momentum could be undermined by emerging pressures which include, conflict and instability, population displacement and migration, continuing patterns of exclusion, marginalization of women, youth and local communities, pervasive poverty, unemployment, rapid urbanization, climate change and poor management of natural resources\u2014that threaten to overwhelm existing institutional capacities for managing political, economic, social and environmental challenges. These pressures are making every single African country more vulnerable especially countries facing fragile situation or transition States.<\/p>\n More recently, the impact of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic which is already having an adverse effect of the world economy will have far reaching adverse consequences on transition States which are already vulnerable. They are likely to bear the brunt of the health, social, economic and even security impacts of COVID-19. This demonstrates that vulnerabilities facing transition States are not static but dynamic and neither are they restricted to national boundaries as most often times, they have regional spill-over effects or even global knock-on effects requiring holistic, coordinated approaches for their resolution.<\/p>\n The mandate of RDTS is to place the Bank at the center of Africa\u2019s efforts to address fragility and pave the way for a more resilient and inclusive societies. A major part of RDTS\u2019 activities involves the identification of the main drivers of fragility, including economic, social, political, security and environmental dimensions. RDTS also plays a crucial role in mainstreaming fragility considerations in the Bank\u2019s strategies and programs, both at country and regional level. Central to RDTS engagement is the systematic application of a\u00a0\u201cFragility Lens\u201d<\/em>\u00a0to identify and mitigate drivers of fragility so as to support RMCs facing fragility situations to build long-term resilience in areas where the Bank can leverage the biggest impact through the application of the Country Resilience Fragility Assessment (CRFA) tool and corresponding Fragility Assessments.<\/p>\n Given the cross-cutting nature of fragility, the Bank is now mainstreaming fragility in its programming for both its lending and non-lending operations including in the preparation of Bank policies, strategies and diagnostic tools such as the Country Strategy Papers (CSPs) and the Regional Integration Strategy Papers (RISPs). The Bank is also seeking to produce Economic Sector Work (ESW) to enhance policy dialogue on fragility related issues to drive reforms and policy change aimed at creating enabling environments for accelerated development in transition States. This includes creating a business-enabling environment to attract investments in general, but also private sector engagement in transition States as a way of expanding opportunities for investments, economic activity and job creation.<\/p>\n THE POSITION:<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the supervision of the Director, RDTS, the main responsibility of the\u00a0Chief Fragility and Resilience Officer<\/strong>\u00a0entails the development, programming and implementation oversight of fragility interventions in RMCs based on the Bank\u2019s Agenda for addressing fragility and building resilience in Africa, the Bank\u2019s High 5 Agenda and relevant Bank policies, strategies and guidelines. Her\/his responsibilities also include preparation of analytical work, fragility lens application, partnerships, resource mobilization and advocacy including providing leadership to technical teams within RDTS and across the Bank to deliver the Fragility Agenda within a consultative partnership approach underpinned by adaptability, innovation and responsiveness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Duties and responsibilities<\/p>\n The Chief Fragility and Resilience Officer will work closely with RDTS team members on the operational implementation of the Bank\u2019s fragility agenda.
