Women Wavemakers: Practical Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Women in Coding Bootcamps
Coding bootcamps, a type of rapid tech skills training program, have recently emerged as
a promising approach to equipping individuals with the skills needed to thrive in digital economies. Despite the potential of these programs, women often participate at lower rates than men.
The Women Wavemakers report draws on the experiences of 25 coding bootcamps and seven digital skills programs in 22 countries to provide a menu of options that providers and policymakers can test and refine, in three key areas:
eC2: Tanzania Probabilistic Flood Risk Evaluation and Scenarios Dashboards
Deadline: 15-Oct-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)
Assignment Description: The overall purpose of this initiative is to provide the Government and people of Dar es Salaam (and possibly Zanzibar City) with the evidence-based data, information and analysis tools to help significantly reduce the negative impacts of flooding within the city. This will be achieved through the development of a robust and science-based understanding of flood risk, and by providing a platform of evaluation and communication tools that supports incorporation of risk information into all levels of decision making. This platform will comprise a dashboard system that provides both customized and flexible access to data and tools for a range of use cases. It will support a systematic and more strategic approach to flood risk reduction, contributing to a more appropriate and sustainable response at a range of institutional and government levels, leading to more justifiable public and private investment. An outline of the scope of work is attached. A more detailed Terms of reference will follow in the request for proposals.
eC2: Operational flood monitoring system combining hydro-meteorological and remote-sensing technologies
Deadline: 02-Oct-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.) 
Assignment Description: This assignment is to develop an operational multi-country flood monitoring platform allowing near real-time assessment of water extent and population affected. The loss estimation data produced will inform disaster risk management decisions as well as support the definition of insurance products for a quick response financing mechanism. The platform will be built on an architecture developed under an existing project led by the World Bank. It will re-use existing deliverables and will specifically aim at automating the processing and integration of satellite data into global hydromet models, as well as test assumptions and outputs against real life scenarios through intensive verification and validation work. All operational aspects will have to be addressed in order to produce a robust, automated and fully operational web-based system with a strong focus on risk transfer applications.

eC2: Land Acquisition Completion Report Gap Analysis and Supplemental Completion Report
Deadline: 25-Sep-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)
Assignment Description:
The central objectives of this consulting assignment are to identify gaps in the existing completion reports, particularly with reference to the determination of whether project affected people have had their livelihood restored, and to fill those gaps through an assessment of project-affected peoples current situation in comparison with the baseline of 2006.
Beyond Infrastructure: Trade Facilitation Priorities for the Belt and Road Initiative
Countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative face a major challenge in 
facilitating trade. While large investments in trade-related infrastructure capture global headlines, transaction costs generated by inefficient border clearance and trade-related regulatory requirements are one of the major policy risks facing the BRI.
Innovation, entrepreneurship, positive change. Join the farmer-led irrigation revolution.
Imagine that you are a small-scale rainfed agriculture farmer. You face significant 
challenges. Water and food demands are growing. Competition for water is escalating. You rely heavily on unpredictable rain to grow food and sustain your livelihood. Weather related disasters — such as floods, droughts, and heat waves — are increasing in frequency, intensity, and duration.
Some reflections on pathways out of poverty
Take two numbers: 1 in 3 young people worldwide are not in education, employment or 
training, and over 875 million people are expected to migrate by 2050.
training, and over 875 million people are expected to migrate by 2050.
These figures often reflect unfulfilled aspirations and lack of opportunity.
People are often in jobs with below poverty-line pay; others have no prospects for a raise and professional advancement; for some others, it is hard to re-enter the job market after a period of unemployment; and, among the youngest, many face daunting obstacles in joining the workforce.
eC2: Cumulative Impact Assessment and Management of Renewable Energy Development in the Myitgne River Basin in Myanmar
Deadline: 27-Sep-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)
Assignment Description: Cumulative Impact Assessment and Management of Renewable Energy Development in the Myitgne River Basin in Myanmar. The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a cumulative impact assessment of renewable energy projects in the Myitgne River Basin in Myanmar. The objectives include: 1. Plan and execute an integrated assessment of the cumulative impacts of renewable energy development in the Myitgne River Basin, including power optimization and development scenarios. 2. Lead the participatory design of a framework for ongoing river basin co-management in the Myitgne, including collaborative environmental and social impact monitoring and management. 3. Strengthen the capacity of Myitgne River Basin stakeholders in CIA and co-management.
eC2: Development and implementation of the Tanzania Water Payment by Results complementary intervention
Deadline: 24-Sep-2018 at 11:59:59 PM (Eastern Time – Washington D.C.)
Assignment Description: The World Bank partners with the Government of Tanzania and DFID to support research and adaptive learning around PbR. As part of the research partnership, the World Bank will conduct an impact evaluation of a complementary intervention, which will be overlaid onto PbR. The goal of the complementary intervention is two-fold. First, it aims to augment the projects impact by addressing possible challenges. Second, the complementary interventions impact will be evaluated through econometric methods, thereby providing the Government of Tanzania and DFID with nuanced and actionable findings on how to increase PbRs impact, and rural water sustainability more generally. The intervention is expected to last two years in parallel with PbRs roll-out.
