Program Manager (Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program)
The SSATP partnership of 35 Sub Saharan Africa countries, Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and donors facilitates the development of transport policies and implementation strategies to help the poor and strengthen the economy.
SSATP is financed by donor contributions to a trust fund administered by the World Bank. The Program Management Team is based partly in Washington DC and partly in Sub Saharan Africa, and is administratively lodged within the World Bank’s Africa Transport Unit. Current donors include the European Commission, Denmark, France, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, the Islamic Development Bank and the African Development Bank. Further information about the SSATP is available at: www.worldbank.org/afr/ssatp.
SSATP has successfully completed its first development plan 2004-07 and is currently looking for a Program Manager to implement its 2nd Development Plan based on three strategic themes:
• Comprehensive pro-poor and pro-growth transport sector strategies.
• Sustainable institutional and financial arrangements for road infrastructure and rural and urban transport services.
• Improving transit transport along selected international corridors.
The Program Manager reports administratively to the Sector Manager, Africa Transport Unit, World Bank. She/He is accountable to an Executive Board (consisting of representatives of the donors, African stakeholders, and multilateral banks) on all aspects of Program Management.
SSATP addresses the complex challenges facing transport in the continent; promoting coherent transport policy approaches (including rural services and urban mobility) amongst member countries and with development partners; supporting the sustainability of sector financing and effective institutional management, and integrating gender equity, environment and road safety, as well as fostering the development of regional transport associations.
The Program manager will initiate and supported reviews of national transport strategies in contributing to economic growth and poverty reduction in 21 countries, making linkages between transport and the MDGs. Through effective deployment of the SSATP team and resources, the Program Manager will continue to facilitate the establishment of road funds and road agencies, and strategies for improving rural access and urban mobility. At a regional level, the Program Manager will ensure that SSATP works with RECs in developing and promoting management strategies along international transport corridors. Furthermore, the Program manager is responsible for the organisation of the Annual General Meeting of SSATP, including a Round Table of Transport Ministers.
