The Human Development (HD) Practice Group (PG)
The World Bank Group (WBG) is the largest provider of development finance and solutions for human development working with high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries to develop country-tailored solutions for human development (HD) under the themes of education, health, social protection, jobs, and gender. The HD PG coordinates with other Practice Groups to ensure a coordinated and integrated approach to development challenges, and through the World Bank Regional Units is expected to deliver the strongest and most pertinent support to our client countries.
The Human Development Vice Presidency (HDVP) at the World Bank Group is made up of the Global Practices for education; health, nutrition, and population; and social protection and jobs; additionally, the HDVP houses the gender group. As such, HD is central to the World Bank Group’s goals to end extreme poverty by 2030 and raise shared prosperity on a livable planet.
Health, Nutrition & Population Global Practice
The central contribution of the Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) Global Practice to the WBG’s twin goals is to strengthen systems, governance, and policies for health and to foster and support progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC), in which all people are effectively covered by essential health services, and nobody suffers undue financial hardship as a result. To achieve this, the HNP practice deploys an array of analytical and advisory services, strategic partnerships with other global institutions and financing agencies, and an active lending portfolio. Our $34 billion global health portfolio includes over 240 projects that help countries take a comprehensive approach to improving health outcomes, especially for poor and vulnerable people, by strengthening primary care and key public health functions. The HNP Global Practice includes staff members in Washington, DC and country offices.
The HNP Global Practice is led by a Global Director, with the overall responsibility for the GP. The HNP Global Practice Leadership Team, which leads and manages the HNP GP, consists of the Global Director, Regional Directors, and Practice Managers. The HNP Global Practice works with and across multiple sectors, in recognition of the fact that HNP outcomes often depend on actions that lie outside the HNP sector. Accordingly, a capacity to work across GP boundaries, forge coalitions and influence multi-practice solutions is essential for achieving the major objectives of improving HNP outcomes.
Global Health Unit
The Global Health Unit (GHU) supports WBG HNP teams across the globe to deliver better results through World Bank financed health systems projects and analytical work. The GHU is led by the Practice Manager and has five technical teams on health financing, service delivery, pandemic preparedness and response and public health, climate and health and nutrition. The GHU provides technical assistance to clients and regions, develops analytical work and thought leadership in key technical areas and is responsible for the knowledge and the learning program for client countries and staff. In addition, the GHU manages the institutional relationships with global health institutions and other partners and is responsible for fundraising for the HNP GP.
The WBG Health Nutrition and Population Global Health Unit is seeking an Extended Term Contractor, working under the supervision of the HNP Global Knowledge and Learning Lead, and in close collaboration with HNP leads and subject matter experts, being responsible for the creation, development, and enhancement of engaging learning experiences that incorporate learner-centered approaches and utilize modern IT platforms in virtual / hybrid learning contexts. The role will also encompass the integration of AI learning solutions, communication and branding elements in line with corporate design standards and support to learning evaluation, assessment and analytics.
