World Bank Advertises Programme Assistant Post for Djibouti Office

The World Bank has advertised the post of Programme Assistant for its Djibouti office, with applications to be submitted by August 16, 2026.

The World Bank maintains country offices across its member nations to support project implementation and coordination with local governments, and Djibouti's office covers the Bank's engagement in a small but strategically located country at the mouth of the Red Sea. A Programme Assistant role typically supports administrative and coordination functions for the office's project portfolio.

No further specifics on the role's scope or reporting line were included in the notice.

The posting is for the Djibouti country office specifically, rather than a regional or headquarters role.

Country office support roles at the World Bank are typically filled through the Bank's standard recruitment process, with local and international candidates both eligible depending on the position's terms.

Djibouti hosts a comparatively small World Bank portfolio relative to larger regional economies, making administrative support roles like this one central to keeping the office's existing project engagements running.

Applications must reach the World Bank by August 16, 2026.
