Description

The World Bank Group is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions dedicated to ending extreme poverty and promoting shared prosperity. With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, we work with public and private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data, research, and technology to develop solutions to the most urgent global challenges. For more information, visit www.worldbank.org.

The devastating human, economic, and social cost of COVID-19 has highlighted the urgent need for coordinated action to build stronger health systems and mobilize additional resources for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. While there are many institutions and financing mechanisms that support pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response activities, none of them is focused solely on it. This means that spending on other immediate needs can take priority over critical pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response investments, the returns on which may only be visible in the future.

Against this backdrop, the new Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Financial Intermediary Fund ("PPR FIF") has been established as a dedicated, multilateral funding mechanism to support critical investments to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response capacities at national, regional, and global levels, with a focus on IDA and IBRD countries.

The PPR FIF is a collaborative partnership among donor countries, co-investors (countries that are eligible to receive FIF funding), foundations, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and Implementing Entities, including the World Bank, IFC, other MDBs, the WHO, UNICEF, FAO, and key global health institutions. The governing and administrative bodies of the PPR FIF are (i) the Governing Board, (ii) the Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), the Secretariat hosted by the World Bank, and the Trustee. The Implementing Entities (IEs) will support implementation of PPR FIF-financed projects and activities.

The Secretariat is looking for an energetic, resourceful, and well-qualified Analyst to support the team in ensuring the timely delivery of high-quality results. The Analyst will report to the Executive Head of the Secretariat and work with members of the secretariat as well as other internal and external stakeholders.
