JOB # 101032
JOB TITLE: SENIOR TRADE FACILITATION SPECIALIST
JOB FAMILY ECONOMIC POLICY
LOCATION ABUJA, NIGERIA
APPOINTMENT INTERNATIONAL HIRE
JOB POSTED 11-MAY-2010
CLOSING DATE 07-JUN-2010
LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS : ENGLISH ESSENTIAL; FRENCH ESSENTIAL
APPOINTMENT TYPE
BACKGROUND / GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Trade facilitation and logistics are now firmly recognized as key drivers for economic growth, with direct implications for the competitiveness and productivity of African countries. Several recent activities have contributed to raise awareness, including the logistics performance index, customs and ports modernization toolkits, and trade facilitation audits. Country demand for new knowledge products and for quality assistance in the area of trade facilitation has sharply increased.
The Poverty Reduction and Economic Management (PREM) Network plays a key role in supporting the World Bank’s strategy of mainstreaming trade and competitiveness into country policies and making the world trading system more supportive of economic development.
The Trade Facilitation Facility (TFF) has been established as a mechanism for responding to the new demand, scaling-up technical assistance, and promoting the implementation of reforms and investment in trade related infrastructure. The Facility targets implementation-oriented activities in areas such as logistics, customs, transit, border management, trade finance, and product standards. The Facility is expected to make a difference by being embedded in World Bank knowledge and operations; it prioritizes projects that complement lending activities. Furthermore the Facility aims to put into practice recommendations and concepts coming from Bank knowledge products and toolkits. Projects are to be conceived and implemented such as to translate improvement in trade facilitation into poverty reduction outcomes.
The Africa Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Department (AFTP3) currently seeks to recruit a GG level senior trade facilitation specialist to enable the Nigerian government agencies and the ECOWAS Commission to respond effectively to Trade Facilitation Facility-related demand.
The Africa Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Group (AFR PREM) plays a key role in implementing the Africa Action Plan. It has particularly significant responsibilities in strengthening efforts to assure shared growth; build sustainable and effective institutions; and deepen results orientation.
The AFTP3 unit comprises about 30 staff working on Nigeria and 10 Central African countries (Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe). The countries in the unit are Anglophone, Francophone or Lusophone and include countries with widely varying performance levels and capacities (including two MICs). The work program will involve a high level of individual responsibility and visibility as the individual will be responsible for support to the TFF, interacting with government as well as other development partners.
