Background
DIME
is a Department of the World Bank’s Development Economics Vice
Presidency. DIME’s purpose is to increase the use of impact evaluation
(IE) in the design and implementation of public policy and to develop
institutional capacity and motivation for evidence-based policy. DIME’s
work focuses on three areas:
• Evaluating programs at scale to answer policy-relevant questions
• Building capacity to strengthen country institutions for evidence-based policymaking
• Building theory on mechanisms in strategic development areas based on high-quality evidence.

Underpinning
all of this work is DIME’s mission of improving development
effectiveness through the use of high-quality data and rigorous impact
evaluation. The Communications and Knowledge Management team combines
organizational structure, creativity and deep partner engagement to
develop strategies and content that helps ensure evidence generated
through DIME’s work is accessible, useful and impactful.

Summary
DIME
seeks to recruit an Extended Term Temporary (ETT) to support its
Knowledge Management and Communications activities. The role will be
split, with 50% of the time focused on central DIME tasks, and 50% of
the time focused on a predefined set of ongoing projects that require
specific communications and knowledge management needs.

Roles and Responsibilities
The
ETT will support DIME’s objective to produce high-quality products,
develop strategies for how to translate these products into meaningful
policy influence, and implement the strategy/disseminate those outputs
broadly. We therefore seek candidates with excellent creative and
organizational skills who can adapt to the changing needs of the
program. The candidate is expected to be based in Washington, DC.

Central Support
The
ETT will carry out a range of support work for the DIME Knowledge
Management and Communications team related to DIME-wide activities.
Specific responsibilities include:

Events: Crafting vision
boards (color palettes, custom graphic elements, layouts); designing
communications products (flyers, agendas, banners, PowerPoint slides,
Mailchimp announcements, event pages, social media cards.)
DIME branding: Designing brief layouts; updating the branding guide; creating custom infographics and data visualizations.

Web
& social media: Working on DIME’s new website and building event
pages; designing assets (e.g. announcements, landing pages, headers);
drafting and disseminating DIME newsletters; promoting DIME’s activities
on social media (X, Instagram, LinkedIn posts.)
Knowledge management: Supporting the design and housekeeping of DIME’s SharePoint, Mailchimp, Notion & Canva workspaces.

Project-Specific Support
In
addition to the central function, the ETT will join the project teams
for a set of ongoing and nearly-completed impact evaluations funded by
FCDO, and will lead on developing the communications strategy and
content development for the projects. The projects include:

1.A
rural water and sanitation access project in the DRC. The project
included a large-scale RCT and complementary qualitative research to
test the effectiveness of the largest WASH project implemented by UNICEF
globally – the Village et Ecoles Assainis program. The study is
complete and the project team is in the process of curating the outreach
materials to complement the findings.
2.A water maintenance project
in Tanzania. The project included multiple different analytical products
over the course of 10 years, including descriptive analyses,
qualitative research, and an impact evaluation to explore the
bottlenecks to ensuring sustainable water access in rural Tanzania, and
ways to overcome these. The work is nearing completion and there will be
a series of government and donor engagements to help ensure the results
can inform policy and planning.

3.A primary education project in
Tanzania. DIME is supporting the Shule Bora program – an FCDO-financed
engagement aimed at improving the inclusion and quality of learning in
Tanzania’s primary schools. While the work is still in its early stages
(it is expected to continue until 2027), there are a number of
analytical products including targeted literature reviews and
descriptive analyses that are already completed and will be packaged for
use by government as well as global consumption. The work will include
help with packaging existing materials and developing a strategy for
communication together with FCDO for future activities/outputs linked to
the program.
Given the different stages of the projects, it is
expected that the ETT will help with a combination of content curation
(e.g. preparing short policy briefs from the existing material) as well
as strategic planning for ensuring the stream of analytical products
being developed in the future are linked to a holistic communications
approach aimed at maximizing policy influence.

Reporting
The
ETT will be mapped to DIME0 (DIME’s front office), and report directly
to the Knowledge Management Officer for central communications
functions, and to DIME0’s Senior Economist for project-specific support.
