The East Asia and Pacific Region (EAP) and the EAP Regional Infrastructure Department (IEADR)

The EAP region serves 22 client countries with a total population of about 2 billion. Clients range from large IBRD countries such as China, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines; to smaller IDA countries (or IDA/IBRD blend countries) such as Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, several Pacific Island states, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste. The EAP region presents a dramatic illustration of the global dynamics, opportunities and risks of the 21st century. EAP has made spectacular progress towards achieving the WBG’s twin goals, eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity – extreme poverty declined faster than any other region and the income of the bottom 40% increased substantially. Such a rapid transformation has made EAP one of the most dynamic regions in the world. However, it also faces important challenges such as managing the largest shift in rural-to-urban population in human history, coping with rising inequality, addressing large infrastructure gaps, dealing with climate change, and building human capital.

The EAP Infrastructure Department (IEADR) is responsible for project lending and policy advisory work in the energy, transport and related climate action and private capital mobilization space for the EAP Region. The department has a transport and energy lending portfolio of approximately $10 billion – and a diverse program of analytic and advisory work. The principal themes underlying the infrastructure department’s lending and advisory engagements include: access to modern energy services and all-weather road and transport services; transitioning to a clean energy mix away from coal, and green transportation systems; building climate resilient energy and transportation infrastructure; integrated urban mobility planning and solutions; financial restructuring and debt-management at the infrastructure sector and economy-level; regional infrastructure network connectivity, integration and trade; and energy connectivity; and reform of state-owned enterprises and delivering efficient private finance solutions.

Transport in Indonesia is a rapidly-evolving portfolio. Currently, it has one ongoing urban transport project and a road program under preparation. with an aggregate value of about US$ 1.0 billion. The ASAs cover port tariffs, digitalization of maritime supply chain, low-carbon sustainable urban mobility pathways rail sector, and E-bus transition in Jakarta region among others. The transport team’s focus is to support the government in developing policies and implementing reforms in a wider range of areas for increased impact including need-based infrastructure development, PPPs, road safety, urban mobility, environmental sustainability, climate change, innovative financing mechanisms, transparent monitoring and accountability, road reforms, transport/road funds, gender equality, economic corridors, and regional integration.

The incumbent will report to the IEAT1 Practice Manager.

Job Duties and Responsibilities: The Extended Term Consultant based in Jakarta is expected to work on ongoing lending projects, ASA programs, and discussions on various modes of transport, with a focus on the subnational road sector and urban mobility.
