Enviromental Specialist, Yemen Monitoring Agent

Proposal Summary:
The World Bank seeks the services of a consulting firm to serve as a Monitoring Agent (MA) to support the implementation of the Yemen Resilience, Recovery, and Reconstruction Umbrella Trust Fund (Yemen Fund). The MA will work to enhance monitoring and risk management of projects implemented under the Yemen Fund, providing independent, desk-based field verification and results reporting. This effort will improve oversight, increase data reliability, support capacity building of Third-Party Monitoring Agents (TPMAs), and inform decision-making through advanced analytics and systems strengthening.

The Yemen Fund supports a ten-year recovery and reconstruction agenda (2022–2032), focusing on inclusive service delivery, job creation, green infrastructure, and transition enabling programs. Due to the high-risk, conflict-affected environment in Yemen, direct World Bank supervision is limited. The MA will fill a critical role by verifying project implementation across the Yemen portfolio, building the capacity of TPMAs, supporting data integration and analysis, and ensuring compliance with fiduciary, environmental, and social safeguards, including a specific focus on SEA/SH.

**Please note: Only Jordanian and Yemeni citizens are eligible for this position**
