Agriculture is an essential pathway to meeting the World Bank Group’s (WBG) twin goals of eliminating extreme poverty by 2030 and promoting shared prosperity. Food production must increase by at least 35 percent to meet the needs of the rising global population. Thus, ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity cannot be achieved without more and better investment in agriculture, food security, and nutrition. Meeting today’s challenges on the food and agriculture agenda will require major strides in agricultural innovation and climate smart agriculture, efficiency in food production and distribution systems, promoting environmentally and socially sustainable production practices, strengthening agricultural policy and institutions, supporting agribusiness value chains, and joint private
- and public
- sector action.

In Middle East and North Africa (MNA) Region, the agriculture and food (AGF) sector remains a large provider of jobs, an important contributor to the economy and to food security, and a substantial contributor to exports. The sector faces important immediate challenges though, ranging from the combination of climate change, population growth and scarce natural resources, to competitiveness and job creation including for youth and women. The World Bank’s program in MNA supports the transformation of the agriculture and food sector through, key policy reforms, private sector-led agricultural commercialization and modernization, improving the quality of jobs in the agri-food sector, and fostering the adoption of climate smart and digital agriculture development. The AGF team in MNA (SMNAG) is organized under the umbrella of MNA Planet/Sustainable Development that also incorporates water, environment, and social teams. SMNAG consists of 16 staff, (9 of whom are based in Country Offices).

**Duties & Accountabilities**:
The World Bank Group is recruiting a Senior Agriculture Economist based in Cairo, Egypt. The Senior Agriculture Economist will report to the SMNAG Practice Manager who is based at the World Bank headquarters in Washington D.C, and support the delivery of the work program, assurance of quality, interaction with internal and external clients and partners, including the government, private sector, civil society, and development partners. The primary responsibility of the Senior Agriculture Economist will be to provide technical, operational, and strategic leadership for the development and implementation of the Agriculture and Food GP’s work program in the region. In doing so, s/he will work closely within the SMNAG team and with the respective Country Management Teams and the Planet Program Leaders.

Though the position is based in Cairo, Egypt, it is expected that the Senior Agricultural Economist maybe involved in other countries in the MNA region based on business needs and agreed work plan. Specific responsibilities include, but not limited to, the following:

- Lead/co-lead preparation and supervision of operations managed by SMNAG and projects supporting agriculture and food systems led by other GPs. Ensure that projects and contributions are delivered at high levels of quality and in a timely manner.
- Lead, or contribute as core team member to, analytical products and initiate and maintain productive engagement with the clients and stakeholders (including multilateral and bilateral donors) on strategic program development and policy reform issues relevant for the transformation of agriculture and food systems and rural economies in MNA.
- Work with the Program Leaders, staff of the AGF GP, and other GPs to identify opportunities for addressing agricultural issues in the MNA region as part of the broader World Bank core diagnostic, Country Partnership Frameworks, country policy dialogues, CCDRs, investment operations, budget support operations, and other multi-sectoral projects.
- Provide thought leadership on relevant developments for MNA’s agri-food sector and effectively communicate them to internal and external audiences. Represent the World Bank in fora involving the community of development partners.
- Lead or contribute to policy dialogue on agricultural and rural development issues and interactions with the client, development and other partners,
