Africa is a diverse continent brimming with opportunities. From clean energy and climate-smart agriculture to home grown digital innovations, African countries are accelerating their efforts to develop sustainably. Home to a 1.2-billion-person market and the world’s largest free trade zone, Africa offers human and natural resources that have the potential to yield inclusive growth and wipe out poverty in the region, enabling Africans across the continent to live healthier and more prosperous lives.

Yet these vast opportunities are tempered by persistent gaps in education, health, and skills, which have Africa only reaching forty percent of its estimated potential. Moreover, conflict, food insecurity, population growth, and the disruptive forces of climate change threaten to curtail or hamper progress.

The recent realignment in Operations led to the creation of two Africa regions: West & Central and East & Southern, effective July 1, 2020. HRD VPU Senior Management made the decision to keep one HR Client Service Team (HRDC1) to serve these two Africa regions. The combined two regions account for approximately 2,300 staff, mostly based in about 40 country offices, a total combined portfolio representing approximately 40% of the Bank’s business, and 50% of the Practice Managers decentralizing to the country offices; hence the need for effective HR support on the ground in the region.
