    Under the overall guidance of the GEID Operations Manager, the Lead GBV Operations will be responsible for GEID operations related to GBV and child safeguarding.

    The Lead GBV Operations will be responsible for the design and implementation of a scale-up of IFC GBV operations, initially in Africa, to support the private sector in addressing GBV and child safeguarding, through:

    Consulting with internal and external stakeholders.

    Internal stakeholders may include GEID GBV staff and consultants, GEID regional and thematic leads, the Environmental, Social and Governance team (CEG), country management units, industry gender specialists, staff and consultants, and the World Bank.

    External stakeholders may include IFC private sector clients, governments, business networks including chambers of commerce, stock exchanges and professional organizations, UN agencies, CSOs, trade unions, and other GBV and child safeguarding actors.

    Understanding the GBV and child safeguarding ecosystem at select country, regional, and global levels as relevant and identifying strategic opportunities for private sector GBV and child safeguarding interventions.

    Leveraging IFC investment and exploring capital market instruments such as thematic bonds, blended finance, and impact investment as potential sources of funding, expanding support to survivors, and catalyzing action.

    Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to design and implement the Africa GBV and child safeguarding scale-up.
    Ensuring effective collaboration with the World Bank and alignment with the GBV risk-related work led by CEG.
    Monitoring, evaluating, and learning from interventions.


    It is envisaged that the scale-up of IFC GBV Operations will include a strategic focus on enhancing IFC client capacity to mitigate and respond to GBV, alongside broader market-level work to generate greater progress towards addressing GBV through the private sector.


    Key areas of work are expected to include:
    Internal and external capacity building through cost to business research, case studies, tools and training.

    Continuing the implementation of IFC's Respectful Workplaces Program with IFC clients and non-clients, including expanding to selected countries across the region and through working strategically with lead firms to address GBV in their global supply chains.

    Embedding child safeguarding in GEID's work on childcare.
    Working with financial institutions to detect and address financial abuse.
    Working with men and boys to address GBV and child safeguarding.
    Working with start-ups or disruptive technology companies to innovate new solutions for GBV, including to address online violence.
    Developing standard indicators to capture the outcomes and impact of GBV and child safeguarding activities.
    Collaborating with the World Bank


    This may include:
    Joint programming in select countries.

    Designing sector-specific interventions with public and private sector actors, for instance in addressing online violence, GBV and child safeguarding in informal work, or in the transport sector.

    Advocacy and technical assistance for legal reform including supporting countries to ratify and implement ILO Convention 190 on Violence and Harassment in the World of Work.

    Building the ecosystem for support of victim-survivors by for instance, enacting regulatory reforms, allocating adequate budget for those actors in charge of GBV and child safeguarding response, and relevant training to engage with the private sector.

    Strategic communication aimed at raising awareness and changing social norms.


    Other duties will include:
    Managing GBV staff, consultants, and contractors.
    Project management activities including developing concept notes and implementation plans and undertaking regular reporting.

    Liaising with IFC's Gender Based-Violence Environmental and Social Governance team to ensure that all GBV operational activities are aligned with IFCs Sustainability Framework.
