Em algum momento você fez um curso e sentiu que não aprendeu? Se a resposta for “sim”, imagine multiplicar essa sensação por muitos anos. Pense também que, daquele conhecimento nunca aprendido, dependem as suas chances de melhorar de vida. Como você se sente? As sensações de fracasso e impotência, entre outras, acompanham milhões de estudantes de países em desenvolvimento que não sabem ler, escrever ou fazer uma operação de aritmética, mesmo após vários anos de escolarização. Além de nascerem em desvantagem devido à pobreza, ao gênero ou a uma deficiência, eles chegam à idade adulta sem as aptidões mais básicas para a vida. Alguns dados do mais recente Relatório de Desenvolvimento Global (WDR 2018, na sigla em inglês), do Banco Mundial, revelam as disparidades que existem entre os estudantes ricos e pobres de um mesmo país e entre esses mesmos alunos e os de uma economia desenvolvida. Estas são algumas das principais conclusões:Existe uma crise global de aprendizagem. Estudar sem aprender é uma grande injustiça, pois prejudica sobretudo os estudantes que precisam de uma boa educação para ter sucesso na vida.A Base de Dados Mundial sobre Qualidade da Educação, atualizada recentemente, sugere que nos países de renda média e baixa, mais de 60% das crianças avaliadas não conseguiram alcançar habilidades mínimas em matemática e leitura. Já nos ricos, quase todas as crianças ultrapassaram esse nível.As estatísticas não levam em conta 260 milhões de crianças que, por motivo de conflito, discriminação, deficiência e outros obstáculos não estão matriculadas no ensino fundamental ou médio. Segundo o documento, a crise global de aprendizagem não apenas impede esses jovens de terem salários maiores – de 9% a 11%, no caso da América Latina e Caribe (veja o gráfico) –, mas também aprofunda as diferenças entre ricos e pobres. 

CIF Grant: US$ 15.65 million equivalent Project ID: P154351 Project Description: This project will accelerate private sector-driven, renewable energy-based off-grid electrification in rural and peri-urban areas of Haiti.

WASHINGTON, October 26, 2017— The World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors approved two grants totaling US$35 million to improve access to electricity for more than two million Haitians, and to scale-up investments in renewable energy in underserved rural and urban areas. “Haiti has significant untapped sources of renewable energy”, said Anabela Abreu, World Bank’s Country Director for Haiti. “The country is taking an important step in creating the enabling environment for private investors and in boosting access to electricity. The World Bank Group will continue to support the country in providing sustainable renewable energy to increase access for families, businesses and community services in underserved areas, diversify its energy mix, and reduce electricity cost”. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydropower, wind and biomass, and off grid electrification have great potential. Over five million people could be reached through solar photovoltaic (PV). Yet, only one in three Haitians has access to electricity and access is very limited in rural areas. More specifically, the two projects, “Renewable Energy For All” and “Haiti Modern Energy Services for All,” will help:Improve the environment for private investment in clean energy;Expand access for rural households through leveraged investments in micro and mini-grids, and village level systems;Strengthen the capacity of local institutions and develop awareness of local communities on how to use renewable energy;Finance private operators, NGOs and Community Organizations to provide solar lanterns, and individual and home-based solar systems. Both projects will be implemented by the energy cell of the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications (MTPTC in French). The Renewable Energy for All project is financed by a US$ 19.62 million grant from the Scaling-up Renewable Energy Program (SREP); and the Modern Energy Services for All project is financed by a US$ 15.65 million grant from the Clean Technology Fund (CTF). Both grants are from the Climate Investment Fund (CIF) and are part of the World Bank’s accelerated effort to provide clean energy and resilient infrastructure. —————————– Learn more about the work of the World Bank in Latin America and the Caribbean: www.worldbank.org/lac Visit us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldbank Be updated via:  Twitter: @WBCaribbean YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/worldbank  

WASHINGTON, 26 octobre 2017 — Le Conseil des administrateurs de la Banque mondiale a approuvé deux dons d’un montant total de 35 millions de dollars en vue d’améliorer l’accès à l’électricité pour plus de deux millions d’Haïtiens et de développer les investissements dans les énergies renouvelables au bénéfice des zones rurales et urbaines mal desservies. « Haïti dispose de nombreuses sources d’énergie renouvelable inexploitées », souligne Anabela Abreu, directrice des opérations de la Banque mondiale pour Haïti. « Le pays franchit une étape importante en s’attachant à créer un environnement propice à l’investissement privé et à promouvoir l’accès à l’électricité. Le Groupe de la Banque mondiale continuera de lui apporter son soutien pour que des systèmes d’énergie renouvelable fournissent de l’électricité à davantage de familles, d’entreprises et de services collectifs dans les zones mal desservies, ainsi que pour diversifier le mix énergétique et réduire le coût de l’électricité. »Les sources d’énergie renouvelable (énergie solaire, hydraulique, éolienne et biomasse) et les solutions d’électrification hors réseau recèlent un potentiel considérable dans le pays. Les dispositifs photovoltaïques, en particulier, pourraient alimenter en électricité plus de cinq millions de personnes. Actuellement, seul un Haïtien sur trois a accès à l’électricité, et principalement dans les zones urbaines. Ces deux projets contribueront plus précisément à:favoriser l’investissement privé dans les énergies propres ;accroître l’accès des ménages ruraux à l’électricité grâce à des investissements dans des micro/mini-réseaux et des systèmes collectifs à l’échelle des villages ;renforcer les capacités des institutions locales et sensibiliser les communautés à l’utilisation des énergies renouvelables ;financer des opérateurs privés, des ONG et des organisations communautaires pour fournir des lanternes solaires et des systèmes solaires individuels et domestiques. Les deux projets seront mis en œuvre par la cellule chargée de l’énergie au sein du ministère des Travaux publics, des Transports et des Communications. Le projet « Services énergétiques renouvelables pour tous » est financé par un don de 19,62 millions de dollars du Programme de valorisation à grande échelle des énergies renouvelables (SREP en anglais), et le projet « Services énergétiques modernes pour tous » par un don de 15,65 millions de dollars du Fonds pour les technologies propres (CTF). Ces deux dons, qui proviennent des Fonds d’investissement climatiques (CIF), s’inscrivent dans l’accélération des efforts déployés par la Banque mondiale pour promouvoir le développement d’énergies propres et d’infrastructures résilientes. ————— Pour en savoir plus sur les activités de la Banque mondiale en Amérique latine et dans les Caraïbes: www.worldbank.org/lac Rejoignez-nous sur Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/worldbank Suivez notre actualité sur Twitter: @WBCaribbean Retrouvez-nous en images sur YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/worldbank

Organization: International Rescue Committee
Country: El Salvador
Closing date: 26 Nov 2017

Job Title: Head of Mission

Sector: Program Administration

Employment Category: Fixed Term

Location: El Salvador

Job Description The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC works with people forced to flee from war, conflict and disaster and the host communities which support them, as well as those who remain within their homes and communities. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

In recent years, the region known as the Northern Triangle, comprising El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, has seen a dramatic escalation in violence by organized criminal groups. Homicide rates are among the highest ever recorded in the region and are as deadly as many contemporary armed conflicts such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Disappearances, forced recruitment into gangs, and the sexual exploitation of women and girls also form part of the pattern of violence. The overwhelming majority of survivors of sexual violence are between the ages of 10 and 19 years. The scale and severity of the epidemic of violence has caused people to flee their homes and seek international protection in record numbers. According to UNHCR roughly 164,000 refugees and asylum seekers have been forced out of the Northern Triangle of Central America (NTCA) with reports of over 700,000 internally displaced as of 2015.

In response, (following initial assessments to identify gaps in the areas of protection & partnership development), the IRC has decided to open a country office in El Salvador and is launching an integrated protection pilot programme (with possibility of later continuation and scale-up) to help meet the acute needs of people displaced by violence, as well as those returning to the country following deportation. This programme will use innovative approaches to deliver humanitarian programming, primarily through a partnership approach with local civil society organizations.

SCOPE OF WORK The Head of Mission’s core responsibilities will be to: support the start-up and management of the IRC office and activities in El Salvador; represent the IRC to external stakeholders at all levels; develop strategic relationships and engage in the national dialogue around internal movement due to violence, identify and cultivate partnerships/funding opportunities in coordination with IRC teams across the organization; engage in appropriate and coordinated advocacy and communications on relevant issues; and explore and develop IRC’s longer-term presence in El Salvador and the Central American region.

The Head of Mission is responsible for overall leadership and supervisory management of IRC operations in El Salvador, including stewardship of resources, staff safety, security and risk management within a complex operating environment, program quality and accountability, and performance management. The Head of Mission is the IRC’s representative to the Salvadoran government, donors, international organizations, and other NGOs/civil society. S/He will provide overall oversight and guidance for IRC’s presence and implementation of pilot programming in El Salvador, and will be expected to work effectively across the organization to deliver high-quality programs, advocacy and strategic engagement.

Success in this position requires an individual with strong initiative and a demonstrated ability to lead teams and work effectively with colleagues/functions based in different locations, and represent the IRC and our work to a range of internal and external audiences (including media relations). Additionally, the Head of Mission will be expected to have exceptional communications and risk management skills and proven experience in developing networks and building partnerships.

The Head of Mission will be directly responsible for the overall coordination and strategic direction of the program, providing supervision and coaching for line reports, leading teams to deliver responsive, high-quality technical support to the efforts of actors working with displacement within the country including civil society, government, and NGOs, ensuring efficient management of funds for results, compliance and high-quality, timely reporting, and oversight of financial management systems.
