3. VACANCY: TEAM ASSISTANT,
WORLD BANK, BISHKEK , KYRGYZSTAN
Background
/ General description:
Note: If the
selected candidate is a current Bank Group staff member with a Regular or
Open-Ended appointment, s/he will retain his/her Regular or Open-Ended
appointment. All others will be offered a 2 year term appointment.
Regional
Context
The Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region comprises of 30
extremely diverse countries, with a population of nearly 500 million people.
Four of our clients are IDA only and another 5 are IDA blend countries. The
remaining 21 are IBRD eligible. Although 10 of our clients have joined the EU
and 7 of these have graduated, most continue to remain active recipients of
knowledge and/or lending services. Country Partnership Strategies (CPSs)
reflect this strong diversity with substantial variation in lending prospects,
but strong demand for Bank technical services is present across the board.
For the most
part, countries in the ECA region have recovered to the GDP levels prevailing
prior to the 2008/09 crisis, yet growth is slower than before the crisis. GDP
growth in the region is estimated to have fallen to 3 percent in 2012, from 5.5
percent in 2011, and is projected to rebound only slightly to 3.6 percent in
2013. The crisis left ECA countries with historically high levels of
unemployment, which are still worsening, particularly in the Balkans. Furthermore,
the ongoing sovereign debt problems in Western Europe
are posing challenges to the sustainability of the tepid recovery. The World
Bank is helping its ECA clients by implementing a regional strategy that is
focused on addressing three critical challenges to growth and
development---improving competitiveness, reforming the social sectors to
achieve inclusive growth, and making growth more sustainable through climate
action. Governance and gender issues cut across these three strategic pillars.
The financial
and economic crisis led to a substantial increase in Bank lending and knowledge
activities in all ECA countries, including in several EU members states (e.g., Latvia , Romania ,
and Poland

Asia Country Unit, ECCU8, includes diverse set of countries: Kazakhstan , Kyrgyz
