CAPE hosts two major flagship initiatives: the Budget Strengthening Initiative and the European Development Cooperation Support Programme.
Recent highlights include:
• a flagship report on future scenarios for development cooperation: Horizon 2025
• new global estimates of development finance flows and analysis of demand-side factors at country level: The age of choice
• analysis of how development assistance can better support service delivery: Unblocking results
• a framing paper exploring how public expenditure relates to development outcomes: Public finance and development priorities
• a comparative study on strengthening public finance management in fragile states: Public finance reform in fragile states
About the job
CAPE is now recruiting Research Fellows to lead the development and delivery of a portfolio of research, policy advice and public affairs in the area of international finance for development and environmental objectives. Successful candidates will join a growing team of economists and political scientists focusing on major themes in global development. These include finance flows such as Official Development Assistance, philanthropy and private giving, global funds (climate, health, etc.), south-south cooperation, Other Official Flows (OOFs), Foreign Direct Investment, export credits, guarantees, portfolio flows and remittances.
You will work closely with the Head of CAPE and other Research Fellows to design and implement a strategy and work programme on the future of development finance. This will involve managing and conducting high-quality and innovative research (primarily applied economic analysis using both quantitative and qualitative methods), policy advice and public affairs within the Institute’s overall strategy. You will also support the Head of CAPE more broadly with strategy development, network building, fund-raising, quality assurance and staff management.
