WBG Pioneer
Posted on Jul 18, 2026
WBG Pioneer Background/Organizational Context The World Bank Group is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions dedicated to ending extreme poverty, increasing shared prosperity and promoting sustainable development. With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, we work with public and private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data, research, and technology to develop solutions to the most urgent global challenges. Please visit www.worldbank.org. To deliver on the One World Bank approach, Uruguay was one of the first countries globally to have a Joint Country Representation (JCR) for IFC, World Bank and MIGA. This JCR approach allows the World Bank Group to leverage knowledge and resources across the group, with the aim of mobilizing private capital and supporting innovative and pioneering solutions in Uruguay. The Montevideo office is seeking an intern to provide operational and analytical support to its activities in the country. The intern will play a key supporting role within the office team, contributing to research and analysis tasks, assisting in the preparation of strategic documents, and supporting the development of activities and projects in Uruguay. Duties and Responsibilities Support the preparation of Uruguay’s new Country Partnership Framework (CPF), in line with the new Country Engagement Guidance. The new CPF approach sharpens strategy and delivery by focusing on six principles: one WBG team (integrated public-private finance and knowledge), greater selectivity (3–5 outcomes tracked via the WBG Scorecard), simplicity (shorter documents), tighter link from strategy to implementation (annual joint business planning with public and private stakeholders), knowledge-led engagement, and stronger partnerships (deeper collaboration with development partners and civil society throughout the CPF lifecycle). Support business development efforts by assisting sector teams in mapping exercises, by contributing to integrity due diligence (IDD) analysis for investment projects, and by engaging in project financial analysis with investment teams. Conduct background desk research on political, macroeconomic, industry, and sector developments in Uruguay, and prepare short notes on country-specific macro-economic, political and development contexts, as well as prevailing private sector issues in specific sectors in the country, in support of strategy, research products, and briefs. Participate in missions, project review meetings, and project appraisals, mainly for learning purposes.
