When World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim landed in Buenos Aires in August, he brought an unequivocal message: Argentina is taking the difficult steps needed to lay the groundwork for a brighter future, and the World Bank Group stands ready to continue supporting Argentina to live up to its enormous potential. “We need openness and trade between countries for the transfer of knowledge and cutting-edge technology, ,” Kim said during a press conference with President Macri.  “We also need to focus on enabling the conditions that favor stable markets, which in turn attract investment and create employment. I’m pleased and enthusiastic to see that Argentina is on this path.” The two-day trip was the first visit by a World Bank President to Argentina in 25 years, and included a whirlwind of meetings with government, business and thought leaders, and the press. Kim met with President Mauricio Macri to discuss the reforms implemented by the government, further engagement in the global economy, the upcoming World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Buenos Aires in December, and Argentina’s Presidency of the G20 next year. Kim announced up to US$2 billion in new financing from the World Bank Group to Argentina over the coming year. Half of that will be for the public sector and the other half for private sector companies, as the World Bank Group continues to leverage public and private funds for infrastructure and other development investment. The institution is already working with Argentina in key areas including renewable energy, agriculture, poverty reduction, human development, the environment, infrastructure, and private sector development. Argentina’s choice of openness and integration over isolation has put the country on a promising path, Kim said in Spanish during a press conference with President Macri. Kim explained that he learned his Spanish as a young doctor treating drug-resistant tuberculosis in Peruvian slums – an experience that cemented his concern for the poor in South America. A key message Kim emphasized throughout the trip was the enormous potential to tap private capital to fund infrastructure and other development. He highlighted the example of the $480 million guarantee that the World Bank provide for the renewable energy sector in Argentina, which has helped mobilize over $3 billion in prospective private-sector investment. IFC also mobilized over $1 billion in private sector investment in renewable energy in the country. Kim joined Minister of Science, Technology, and Productive Innovation Lino Barañao at a forum on investing in the Future of Work, which tackled the complicated issue of technological change and how best to prepare people for the jobs of the future. Over 500 opinion leaders, entrepreneurs, and students gathered to consider this issue, which is attracting so much attention worldwide at this moment. The blistering pace of technological change is affecting every country in the world, Kim said – with information and communications technologies, robotics, and artificial intelligence posing a significant challenge, as well as a big opportunity. Automation will eliminate many of the less complex and low-skilled jobs, and the remaining jobs will demand new and more sophisticated skills. In the face of these accelerations, it’s crucial for all countries to invest early and effectively in their people, Kim said. It’s also critical for educators to work closely with the private sector to ensure that workers are being trained with the right skills for jobs that exist now and for the jobs of the future. With its large pool of educated, creative professionals, Argentina is particularly well suited to face these challenges, Kim pointed out. The country has produced five Nobel Laureates and four of the six “Unicorn” companies in Latin America – start-ups that are valued at over 1 billion dollars: Globant, MercadoLibre, Despegar, and OLX. Among middle-income countries, Argentina ranks 5th in terms of innovation quality in the recent Global Innovation Index. With more trips scheduled to Argentina over the next year for the G20 meetings, Kim will be paying close attention to the success and progress of the country’s reforms. He repeatedly emphasized the Bank’s commitment to supporting and assisting the country in every way possible along this path. “Successful countries make sacrifices at difficult times to put themselves on the path to growth,” Kim said during an interview on the Argentinian television program, Animales Sueltos. “If Argentines are willing to make some sacrifices together, they will have prosperity. They need to undertake a series of reforms based on empirical evidence, not ideology. For Argentina, the sky is the limit.”

HAI’s offices in nearly a dozen countries implement programs on a range of global human rights issues, as well as the Chicago-based Marjorie Kovler Center for the Treatment of Survivors of Torture, which serves individuals from more than 50 countries. HAI has significant expertise in the fields of trauma-informed mental health care and access to justice for survivors of rights abuses. It is also an industry leader in access to high-quality and stigma-free health care. Across all of its programs, HAI promotes progressive, innovative approaches to human rights protections and gender equality.

In Colombia, HAI provides innovative, collaborative, and community-based mental health services, including individual and group psychosocial therapy, to underserved populations most affected by armed conflict and violence in the Pacific region of Colombia. HAI’s culturally-competent and locally-adapted programs allow people to heal, become empowered to access justice and social services, and ultimately lead change in their own communities. HAI in Colombia includes direct survivors of the conflict who provide services to vulnerable populations, including Afro-Colombians and indigenous communities. HAI partners with community leaders, local organizations, and institutions to provide effective, evidence-based and culturally- adapted mental health services, and continuously strengthen these programs to better support people in need. As Colombia builds the foundation for an enduring peace, communities that have been historically marginalized and most affected by decades of violence need sustained support. HAI is committed to addressing crucial humanitarian needs and protecting human rights for the most vulnerable and underserved populations in the country. HAI will support the construction of an inclusive and sustainable peace through community engagement, strategic partnerships, and a focus on concrete results at the territorial and national levels.

About the Project: “Improving Health and Building Resilience: MAS Colombia Mejorando el Acceso a la Salud y fortaleciendo la resiliencia: MAS Colombia”, is a two year project to increase access to mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) and protection for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict victims, including by strengthening support from government authorities, and enabling communities to effectively and collaboratively advocate for their rights. This innovative project builds on HAI’s extensive experience providing integrated services for IDPs including for women and girls, Afro-Colombians and other particularly vulnerable communities. The project will expand existing coordination efforts among government, civil society organizations and communities impacted by forced displacement and create identification and referral networks to respond to the needs of IDPs.

Project Summary

The goal of USAID/Honduras’s proposed Improving Tertiary Violence Prevention activity (ITVP) is to reduce recidivism within targeted populations of the highest-risk juveniles. The development hypothesis for this activity is that if high-quality, tertiary violence prevention services, specialized and targeted by risk levels, are provided to identified juvenile populations at the highest risk, (e.g., those already involved with gangs, crime or the court system), then the repeated criminal and violent offenses by these individuals will be reduced, ultimately contributing to reducing crime and violence in their communities.

USAID understands that a small number of state and non-state actors currently provide a very limited array of services to these populations. However, several fundamental challenges exist which limit the sufficiency, coherence and adequacy of these services to effectively reduce recidivism.

Through this new five-year activity, USAID will seek improved Human and Institutional Capacity Development (HICD) and technical proficiency of state and non-state actors seeking to provide high-quality, specific and targeted services to juvenile tertiary populations. To qualify for support, these actors must be providing (or seeking to provide) services that are explicitly linked to preventing recidivism and likely centered on the themes of rehabilitation, reintegration and the reduction of stigma.

Position Summary and Reporting:

The Gang Rehabilitation Specialist will provide coordination for outreach, case management, and facilitation of multi-systemic wrap-around services for at-risk youth in ITVP target municipalities – which may include Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, Choloma, La Ceiba and Tela – focusing on rehabilitation, reintegration, and reduction of stigma. The Gang Rehabilitation Specialist will report to the Chief of Party.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Responsible for leading and coordinating the program’s rehabilitation and reinsertion efforts.
• Identifies and builds relationships with a wide array of service providers (state and non-state) in support of program’s objectives.
• Develops and coordinates the implementation of a rehabilitation, reinsertion, and stigma-reduction strategy for the project, and socializes it with program partners, community stakeholders, and services providers.
• Collaborates with existing tertiary prevention service providers, and works with them to strengthen their capacity to deliver their services.
• Identifies reinsertion and rehabilitation strategies and resources for both voluntary and involuntary high-risk tertiary juvenile populations.
• Supports the implementation of a tracking system for involuntary youth who are receiving tertiary prevention services.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in political science, psychology, social work, counseling, or relevant field. Master’s degree in a relevant field preferred;
• A minimum of five years’ experience working with vulnerable populations, particularly youth at-risk and former gang members.
• Experience identifying and working with youth at risk, particularly tertiary juvenile populations.
• Experience in rehabilitation of populations in conflict with the law, preferably youth.
• Solid understanding of risk factors that lead youth to committing violent acts or joining violent groups.
• Experience working with relevant stakeholders in communities at high risk of violence.
• Demonstrated ability to perform complex tasks and to prioritize multiple projects;
• Strong organizational skills including proven records maintenance and database management;
• Ability to work under pressure and efficiently handle multiple tasks; and
• Ability to work under own initiative or as a part of a team.
