About this position
Since joining the IDB as a non-borrowing member country in 2005, the Republic of Korea has established a total of four Korea Trust Funds (KTFs). In response to the growing emphasis on impact measurement and at the request of the Donor to establish a more systematic performance evaluation framework at both the project- and fund-levels, the KTFs have strengthened their focus on performance evaluation. These efforts aim to enhance the effectiveness of KTF-financed projects and Koreaโs contributions, thereby fostering transparency, improving resource allocation, and ensuring the long-term success of the strategic partnership between Korea and the IDB.
Against this backdrop, we are seeking a dynamic and innovative young professional to support the performance monitoring and evaluation of the KTFsโ Technical Cooperation (TC) portfolio at the IDB. The primary responsibilities of this position will involve conducting project- and fund-level monitoring, evaluation, and reporting to support biannual interim evaluations and annual Independent External Evaluations. By strengthening performance measurement and results-based reporting, the Consultant will contribute to enhancing impact orientation, development effectiveness, and strategic alignment of TC operations with the IDBโs institutional priorities.
