DIVISION CHIEF WATER & SANITATION
Description
The Chief of the Water and Sanitation Division (WSA) reports to the Infrastructure and Environment Sector Manager (INE) under the Vice President for Sector and Knowledge (VPS). Despite worthy advances over the last decade in access to basic services and poverty reduction, LAC remains a region with large inequalities of opportunities. Equality of opportunities is critical for growth and for sustainable poverty reductions. Fostering equality of opportunities requires, among other things a new generation of infrastructure programs and policies. The IDB recognizes these challenges and its Water and Sanitation Division's central mandate is to promote universal access to adequate services. WSA focuses on integrated water resources management, promoting universal access to quality water and sanitation services, proper management of drainage services and collection and disposal of solid waste. The Division Chief will lead the Bank's strategy, operations, knowledge creation and dissemination in these areas. A key component of the responsibilities will be to ensure a successful management of the technical and professional talent in these areas to translate innovation in Bank products, processes, and instruments into relevant programs and projects outcomes.
