Job Overview The goal of the Supporting Inclusive Growth Program is to support rigorous and policy-oriented research that generates new insights and options for promoting policies that facilitate inclusive growth. The program focuses on two thematic areas: the enhancement of enterprise development, entrepreneurship and innovation; and the facilitation of growth with decent jobs. Using the IDRC “grants plus" model, the program supports applied research through a combination of modalities including networks, competitive grants, and other (solicited or unsolicited) requests for grants. As the Senior Program Specialist, you will collaborate in developing and managing research activities that support broader Program challenges. Reporting to the Program Leader (based in Ottawa) and the Regional Director (based in Cairo), you will develop, manage and monitor a portfolio of research projects in the Middle Eastern and North African region. You will also interact with experts in the field and represent IDRC in a variety of fora, draw attention to new developments in economic policies and research, and play a key role in the progress of strategic thinking in this area. The job involves developing the current portfolio of research projects in promoting inclusive growth, including labour market issues, institutional frameworks for investment, competition and entrepreneurial activity, and the role of social protection policies. Over the past few years, original research and research capacity have been supported across the region in the fields of entrepreneurship, small firms, market regulation, competition policy, and analysis of the determinants of low productivity and weak competitiveness. Future programming will support the development of new policies, in entrepreneurship, labor markets, the quality of jobs, and social protection. Candidate Profile Education
