  •        Collaborate with activities of the IDB Invest and IDB Lab.
  •       Lead policy dialogue with Government authorities and development partners based on your proven knowledge of the topics, development challenges of client countries, and IDB policies, strategies, and guidelines.
  •      Share and disseminate economic/sector knowledge and learning tools to improve the relevance of the IDB to borrowing countries and the region.
  Build networks and actively engage with gender and diversity specialists in other multilateral and bilateral institutions, academic institutions, think-tanks, NGOs and professional bodies to promote cooperative research initiatives.

Experience: At least 10 years of relevant development policy experience. Published analytical work on issues of race and ethnicity. Project management experience. Strong technical knowledge of policies that have been proven effective at closing gender and diversity gaps, with special focus on racial issues.
