Nigel oversees the Jobs Cross-Cutting Group and his key responsibilities include working across all WBG institutions and regions to help diagnose jobs issues and develop integrated, multi-sectoral and country- specific strategies that draw from the best knowledge and evidence available globally.Prior to this assignment, Nigel was Director of the Development Impact Department at IFC where he led efforts to systematically use results measurement and evidence to increase the impact of IFC’s operations, especially with regards to economic growth and job effects. While at IFC, Nigel helped design the Better Work partnership with ILO, which seeks to improve compliance with labor standards and competitiveness in factories. He also oversaw IFC’s Jobs Study, which identified practical lessons for the private sector to create more and better jobs. Under his leadership, IFC has since established ‘Let’s Work’, a global partnership with private firms and other development finance institutions to implement the findings of the jobs study.
