**Lead Risk Financing Adviser - Sahel**

Background to the Centre

The Centre for Disaster Protection works to prevent disasters devastating lives, by helping people, countries, and organisations change how they plan and pay for disasters. We focus on disaster risk financing to help ensure that money and plans are in place before a disaster strikes, so that the poorest and most vulnerable people are better protected. We are committed to work in partnerships across sectors and geographies to drive more impactful and more equitable disaster risk finance that leaves no one behind. Specifically, through a focus on:

- **Delivering excellent client outcomes and promoting lasting disaster risk finance expertise.** We provide clients with impartial and evidence-based advice, quality assurance and training that meets their needs and drives more effective disaster risk finance.
- **Quality evidence and learning.** We work to strengthen the evidence base for prearranged financing and document and share what shows the greatest potential to achieve system change.
- **Impactful communications and global policy engagement.** We seek to engage and influence through evidence-led policy and inclusive policy dialogue that bridges both ‘local to global’ and the humanitarian development climate nexus, targeting the bottlenecks key to effect transformative change of the international crisis financing architecture.

Additionally, we are focused on building effective systems and processes for people and operations that support the Centre to rapidly, yet strategically, scale and grow in a way that supports our people to do their best work through safe challenge, promoting and integrating diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Sahel Project

As part of our next phase, we are expanding our team and recruiting a Lead Risk Financing Expert primarily supporting our strategic Sahel programme.

The Advisory and Training workstream includes advice, quality assurance and training to developing country governments, international development and humanitarian organisations and donors to improve disaster risk management and financing. The workstream aims to ensure high-quality crisis and disaster risk financing is available to and used to good effect by countries and organisations, so that the most vulnerable people are better protected.

As one of our strategic programmes, the Centre is implementing a UK Aid funded project to support five countries in the Sahel region (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger) to strengthen their adaptive social protection systems.

The Centre works alongside the World Bank’s Sahel Adaptive Social Protection Programme (SASPP) to provide support to country teams in laying the foundations for stronger policy, practice and financing for social protection systems in the Sahel that are more adaptive to climate-related shocks.

Our efforts seek to ensure that further improvements to Sahelian social protection systems are informed by principles and practices of good disaster risk financing, and that long-term financing and early warning systems are linked to suitable triggers.

1. National social protection systems in Sahel countries are better able to adapt to shocks, like droughts or floods.

2. Weather and early warning data are utilised to improve disaster risk preparedness.

3. Financing strategies are put in place for social protection systems.

4. Social protection systems are more inclusive, avoid doing harm and contribute to gender equality.

About the role

The role will include providing advice, quality assurance and training to the Sahelian country governments, World Bank task team leaders and country teams, as well as wider international development and humanitarian organisations and donors to improve disaster risk management and financing.

Further examples of work to be undertaken may include, for example: working alongside a client’s advisory team to provide advice to a low-income country government or a regional development bank on the design and implementation of pre-arranged finance solutions1; providing quality assurance reviews of disaster risk financing products; or leading on the delivery of specific risk financing solutions and presenting findings at regional events.

This role is expected to be largely desk-based, requiring incidental travel to countries in the Sahel. Applicants will be required to travel irregularly to low-income, often fragile and conflict-affected countries (as a guide, one week every 2-3 months, travel restrictions permitting).

In addition to these role-specific responsibilities, the Lead Risk Finance Advisor is expected to:

- Uphold the organisation’s values and contribute to a positive organisational culture.
- Build the Centre’s external reputation through delivering excellent technical work and the development of innovative solutions.
- Develop effective partnerships and relationships at senior levels across the development, humanitarian a
