The Human Resources Department (HRD) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has a vacancy for a Human Resources Officer in the Talent Division to support the management and administration of the Externally Financed Appointee (EFA) program and other related recruitment initiatives.

The EFA is an important capacity-development initiative that strengthens the IMF’s engagement with participating member countries by providing country officials with the opportunity to gain direct exposure to the IMF’s work through an appointment at HQ. The EFA coordinates fundraising into a central multi-donor Topical Trust Fund (TTF) account, which is used to hire nationals of these member countries, with the Human Resources Department (HRD) acting as the executing department.

Under the supervision of the Section Chief, the successful candidate will:

• Manage the hiring, onboarding, and progress of the EFA Appointees within the Fund and prepare annual summary reports of their progress.

• Continuous follow-up with appointees to ensure capacity development objectives are met.

• Assist with outreach efforts to increase member country participation in the programs.

• Participate in TTF management meetings, including the preparation of technical material required for producing the annual reports to the EFA contributor countries.

• Maintain HRD’s Standards of Operations document for EFA.

• Collaborate, in conjunction with counterparts in the Finance, Budget, and the Institute for Capacity Development (ICD) department’s Global Partnership Division, to develop, monitor budget execution, and adherence to the charging model for the financing of the EFA Subaccount.

• Maintain a comprehensive and up-to-date budget and expenditure tables to ensure the financial health of the Subaccount, ensuring current and future financial cost commitments are regularly updated and reconciled, and providing timely advice to supervisors on the status of the accounts, including the HRD project management charges.

• Develop data analytical services, reports, and presentations of the EFA Subaccount budget and related recruitment budgets for use within HRD.

• Support the development of indicators and reporting processes to monitor outputs, inputs, and cost- effectiveness of the EFA program.
