VPU Context:

The Partnerships, Innovation and Mobilization Vice-Presidency (PIM) is responsible for the management and monitoring of policies, procedures and resources for the World Bank’s development financing vehicles. PIMsets the policy framework for the World Bank Group’s development finance by engaging in strategic resource mobilization, playing an intermediation role to help align the needs of recipients, WBG institutional priorities, and priorities of funding partners, through a variety of funding instruments. These include the International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank’s fund for the poorest and Trust Funds, including Financial Intermediary Funds (FIFs).

Given the nature and variety of this portfolio, PIM works closely with the Regions and Global Practices, offices of the Managing Directors, Executive Directors, World Bank Group (WBG) senior management, corporate and operations units across the WBG, funding partners and government officials. The One World Bank Group Approach works towards a greater coordination of the whole Group as a single entity, ensuring a coordinated approach to support the public and private sectors in client countries. PIM is structured to provide the institution with a more holistic approach to financing, and strategic fundraising across IDA, IBRD, and Bank/IFC trust funds and partnerships.
