আবেদনের শেষ তারিখ: ১৮ ডিসেম্বর , ২০১৭
Background:
This is a Country Office position in Bangladesh subject to local recruitment under the Bangladesh Compensation Plan. The World Bank Group is committed to achieving diversity in terms of gender, nationality, culture and educational background. Individuals with disabilities are equally encouraged to apply.
The World Bank Group’s Agriculture Global Practice (GFADR) brings together a multidisciplinary team to tackle our clients’ complex development problems in agriculture, especially those that require multi-sector, multi-stakeholder solutions. The Agriculture Global Practice builds on the WBG’s comparative advantages and synergies. It defines strategic direction in agriculture, develops and deploys expertise globally, delivers integrated solutions while capturing and leveraging knowledge effectively for maximum development impact needed to end poverty and boost shared prosperity.
Agriculture is an essential pathway to meeting the World Bank Group’s (WBG) twin goals – eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Food production must increase by at least 50 percent to feed 9 billion people by 2050. Thus, ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity cannot be achieved without more and better investment in agriculture, food security, and nutrition. Meeting today’s challenges on the food and agriculture agenda will require major strides in agricultural innovation and climate smart agriculture, efficiency in food production and distribution systems, promoting environmentally and socially sustainable production practices, strengthening agricultural policy and institutions, supporting agribusiness value chains, and joint private and public sector action. The Agriculture Global Practice (GP) of the WBG, working closely with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), supports a Global Vision for Food and Agriculture with agriculture able to feed every person, every day, in every country with a safe, nutritious and affordable diet, and where jobs and income gains in the food system are sufficient to meet poverty reduction targets.
The Agriculture Global Practice (GP) is comprised of about 260 staff working across more than 150 countries. The Agriculture GP works with and across multiple sectors, in recognition of the fact that Agriculture outcomes often depend on actions that lie outside the Practice, and the GP actively contributes to work managed by other Global Practices. Accordingly, a capacity to work across GP boundaries, forge coalitions and influence multi-practice solutions is essential for achieving the major objectives of improving agriculture outcomes.
