The Bank Information Center (BIC) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Washington, DC that advocates for transparency, accountability, sustainability, and inclusion in development finance. We partner with civil society in developing and transition countries to monitor and influence the policies and operations of the World Bank Group, African Development Bank (AfDB), and other Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs). In partnership with international, regional, and local civil society organizations (CSOs), BIC conducts research and advocacy aimed at reforming and improving MDB policy and practices. BIC is not a part of any MDB and does not receive funding from any MDB or government.
BIC is seeking a West Africa based Regional Coordinator to provide guidance and support to BIC’s network of civil society partners and subgrantees in West Africa on issues related to MDB-funded development projects, and to convene and coordinate amongst these groups to participate in MDB policy reviews. The Coordinator will also support our program of work targeting the African Development Bank and will engage closely with a working group of CSOs to coordinate and conduct advocacy targeting the AfDB, including drafting policy analysis, briefs, and recommendations, and conducting meetings in Abidjan, virtually, and at regional events. The Coordinator will be BIC’s only staff in the region and must be a dynamic self-starter who is passionate about working on behalf of communities impacted by MDB projects. The West Africa Regional Coordinator will work closely with BIC’s DC based program staff as well as BIC’s Africa Coordinator, based in Dubai. Flexible for full-time or part-time schedules.
