Post of duty: Washington DC
The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who come together on a journey to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, agile, and rewarding environment.
About this position:
The new Institutional Strategy of the IDB Group renews its focus on the eradication of extreme poverty and the reduction of poverty overall, and the accompanying Impact Framework seeks to ensure that a significant proportion of IDB projects directly benefit populations in poverty. To achieve this, the IDBG will be improving its tools to measure the poverty focus of its projects. This includes refining guidelines for projects across different sectors to measure their degree of poverty targeting and developing complementary tools (e.g., poverty maps and survey analysis) to assist teams around the IDB in achieving a high degree of poverty targeting.
You will support the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in enhancing poverty targeting and measurement in projects across Latin America and the Caribbean. Working with the Poverty Expert Consultant, you will contribute to developing state-of-the-art tools and methodologies to improve the analysis and elimination of poverty in the region. Your work will help ensure that IDB projects (across sectors such as education, health, agriculture, transportation, and institutions) are effectively targeted to benefit the most vulnerable, aligning with IDB’s new Institutional Strategy. You will be based on the IDB’s Social Sector, but your work will directly influence the IDB more broadly
