    Description

Regional Context
The WBG serves 30 client countries in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region (LCR).

Clients range from large, rapidly growing sophisticated middle-income clients to IDA countries to small Caribbean states to one fragile state.

Despite immense resources, dynamic societies, and an average annual per capita income of about $4,000, deep inequalities persist in most LCR countries, with nearly a quarter of the Region's people living in poverty.

The last Bank's strategy for LCR focused on three pillars:
(a) supporting the foundations for inclusive growth; (b) investing in human capital and protecting the poor; and (c) building resilience. In the aftermath of the COVID19 pandemic, this strategy will need to be adjusted to better support the countries to deal with a health crisis without precedents and an economic crisis.

Yet, the basic elements of the strategy:
accelerating growth, investing in human capital, and building resilience appear fully relevant.
The Sustainable Development (SD)

Department supports the WBG's twin goals by focusing on green, resilient, and inclusive growth. It consists of five global practices (GPs):

Agriculture and Food; Environment, Natural Resources, and the Blue Economy; Urban, Resilience and Land; Social Sustainability and Inclusion; and Water.


Within the SD Department, SLCUR serves client countries in the Latin-American and the Caribbean (LCR) region in the areas of urban development, disaster risk management, land, and regional development.

Clients range from middle-income countries (MICs) such as Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, with demand for cutting-edge knowledge services and technical assistance in addition to lending, to IDA countries like Haiti, Honduras, and small island countries in the Caribbean, with an emphasis on poverty reduction and programs that support equitable and enhanced access to social and economic opportunities.


The Latin America and Caribbean Region contains 17 of the top 50 countries identified in the World Bank-sponsored Hotspot study with highest GDP exposure to natural hazards.

With an increasing concentration of assets in urban or semi-urban areas, human and physical losses from floods, landslides, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, and other natural events are on the rise and important development gains are being erased overnight.

Population growth and the ever-increasing concentration of infrastructure in urban or semi-urban areas have been clear drivers of the growth in human and physical losses from adverse natural events.

This trend is now being exacerbated by increasing climate variability, bringing disaster risk management and climate change adaptation to the forefront of the Region's development agenda.


In the area of Urban Development, the SLCUR team provides technical, analytical and financial support to regional clients in a broad range of technical areas including urban poverty reduction, service delivery, municipal finance, urban regeneration and infrastructure urban resilience, and the urban growth, jobs, and competitiveness agendas.

The team is active across the spectrum of Bank instruments including the provision of reimbursable advisory services, financing city-level interventions, financial intermediary engagements, and deep policy and analytical work to support the urban development challenges of the region.

SLCUR provides support to client countries with IBRD and IDA financing, as well as through significant partnerships with a range of grant financing windows.

In Peru, the program focuses largely on the urban development and land administration sector but has engagements more broadly including on housing and resilience.


About the Position
The Urban Specialist will be a LRS position in Lima, Peru and report to the Practice Manager, SLCUR.

The Urban Specialist will co-lead or participate in task teams, contribute to lending operations, policy dialog and technical assistance programs and help enhance institutional capacity of our clients to respond to urban development challenges; co-lead and/or contribute to the sector dialogue and provide just-in-time advisory work, business development and policy reform.

She/he will work closely with Urban and DRM-focused colleagues working in the country. A specialized focus in housing, urban planning, and land management, and/or regional development would be expected.

He/She will be expected to lead and participate in tasks, operational and analytical work, contribute to teams within the unit and beyond, and support the program across the range of Bank instruments.
