Philippines (the): Political Economy Consultants
As part of the effort to systematically integrate governance considerations into the country portfolio and address governance challenges more effectively throughout the project cycle, the World Bank Office set up the Philippines Governance Advisory Team (PGAT), a multi-disciplinary team composed of senior operational staff from all the sectors and the fiduciary team as well as a senior public sector specialist.
One of the key tasks for the PGAT is to commission sector and project level assessments of political economy issues and governance risks. The PGAT’s political economy assessments are designed to improve the Bank’s knowledge and awareness of specific governance issues, identify drives of change in an early stage of the project preparation, and help the Bank make more informed decisions in the sector and project operation in the country.
In anticipation of our upcoming analytical studies in the areas of transport, climate change, education, ICT, agriculture etc, we are looking for individual consultants who are able to undertake political economy analyses and governance assessments on a short term basis.
If you are interested in Manila-based short-term assignments, please send your CV and a writing sample to mhayakawa@worldbank.org
