World Bank Group (WBG) Tanzania Jobs 2024Senior Investment Officer
Senior Investment Officer at World Bank Group (WBG) Tanzania February 2024
Job #: req26157
Organization: IFC
Sector: Investment
Grade: GG
Term Duration: 3 years 0 months
Recruitment Type: International Recruitment
Location: Nairobi,Kenya
Required Language(s): English
Preferred Language(s): French
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 in developing countries. In fiscal year 2023, IFC committed a record $43.7 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of global compounding crises. For more information, visit www.ifc.org.
IFC has launched an ambitious evolution of its strategy to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict Affected States (FCS). This new strategy aims at moving further upstream of where IFC has traditionally operated to support clients in riskier markets by proactively working in these countries to create, deepen, and expand the markets themselves as well as develop a pipeline of investable projects. This strategy relies on a new approach that calls for closer WBG collaboration to maximize finance for development (“Cascade”) by delivering private capital mobilization and closer work among IFC departments to create markets for private investment and increase the pipeline of investable projects. Working with clients, we will first seek private sector solutions to address development challenges—where such solutions are advisable and can be effective—and reserve public financing for projects only when other options are suboptimal.
IFC’s PPP & Corporate Finance Advisory Department (CTA) is composed of two divisions: (i) the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Division; and (ii) the Corporate Finance Services (CFS) Division. The CTA department delivered over 30% of IFC’s long term commitments in FY 23 through private capital mobilization and is looking to implement a new scale up strategy to deliver more.
The PPP Division advises governments in designing and bringing to market commercially robust PPP projects that provide high quality, affordable and efficient infrastructure and social services to the public. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience with over 360 projects completed in 102 countries, the Division currently has over 120 staff across the globe, with technical, financial, contractual and procurement expertise. The team is currently managing 100+ active client engagements to help national and municipal governments partner with the private sector to improve basic services such as electricity, health, education, sanitation, and roads. IFC’s PPP Division also draws on the World Bank’s expertise in institutional reforms, sector structuring, legal and regulatory frameworks, tariff structures and regulation, and international best practice to strengthen and complement IFC’s transaction-oriented approach. The CFS Division provides transaction advisory services to private sector clients, focusing on Mergers and Acquisition (M&A) advisory solutions and providing ad hoc structuring advice. Through M&A advisory, CFS provides buy side and sell side services, helps clients creating opportunities and entering new markets or identifying and attracting new partners and investors. CFS focuses on cross-border transactions, mobilizes third party capital and brings clients into new markets. The CTA team focuses on advising on the following types of transactions, across all infrastructure sectors with a focus on utilities, transport, and social sectors (health, education and affordable housing):
• BOT-type projects
• Concessions, privatizations, Lease and Management Contracts
• Restructuring and privatization of state-owned enterprises
• Asset monetizations
