Background / General description:


IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in developing countries. We create opportunity for people to escape poverty and improve their lives. We do so by providing financing to help businesses employ more people and supply essential services, by mobilizing capital from others, and by delivering advisory services to ensure sustainable development. IFC provides a broad range of advisory services and technical assistance aimed at fostering inclusive development, addressing climate change and promoting the global integration of local economies through sustainable private sector development in the East-Asia Pacific (EAP). More specifically, IFC seeks to achieve these goals by providing advisory services in four Business Lines: (i) Investment Climate; (ii) Access to Finance (iii) Sustainable Business Advisory (iv) Public Private Partnerships Advisory Services. As a strategic pillar, Climate Change projects span all four IFC Business Lines and involve a variety of products, including: sustainable energy finance (SEF), water efficiency, green buildings regulation, waste management, forestry etc. The region is developing regional programs for green building regulation, renewable energy, resource efficiency and cleaner production. To ensure constant focus on managing for development results, IFC Advisory Services has set up a regional Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) resource team that provides expert advice and support to Project Teams on project design, performance monitoring, results measurement, operations research and evaluation. A key challenge for climate change projects in ensuring effective performance management is the complexity of their impact measures, notably of indicators on expected reductions in Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emissions. IFC is seeking to recruit a Monitoring & Evaluation Officer to provide expert advice and operational support to the region s Advisory Services (AS) programs and projects mapped to the Climate Change pillar, and support Investments Services (IS) in the area of tracking development results in terms of GHG emissions reduced. The M&E Officer will be an integral part of the M&E resource team in the region and will collaborate with the other M&E Officers in the team covering specific business lines as well as relevant global technical teams for specific products or initiatives. The M&E Officers main clients will be the four Advisory Services Regional Business Line Leaders and senior regional product and cluster experts (eg. forestry, water and waste, SEF). The M&E Officer is a key member of the AS Project Team. S/he will report to the Regional M&E Officer. Location: Flexible within the East Asia Pacific region with a preference for Beijing, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila. The M&E Officer will be expected to travel at least 30% of the time.
