THE BANK:

Established in 1964, the African Development Bank (AfDB) is the premier pan-African development institution. Its mission is to promote economic growth and social progress across the continent. The Bank has 81 member countries, including 54 in Africa (Regional Member Countries). The Bank’s development agenda aims to provide financial and technical support for transformative projects that will significantly reduce poverty through inclusive and sustainable economic growth. To sharpen the focus on the objectives of the Ten-Year Strategy (2024-2033) and achieve greater development impact, five High 5s have been identified, in which interventions will need to be intensified to accelerate results in Africa, namely: energy, agro-industry, industrialization, integration and improving the quality of life of the people of Africa.

THE COMPLEX:

The Presidency Complex comprises the Office of the President of the Bank Group and all offices, departments and other organizational units that report directly to the Presidency administratively and functionally. The President, as the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank Group, is responsible for ensuring competent strategic management of the Bank Group and all its resources towards the achievement of the Bank Group’s objective of contributing to the economic development and social progress of the Regional Member Countries.

The Presidency Complex provides day-to-day and medium-term institutional leadership and executive oversight, maintains communication with the Bank Group’s member countries, and supports the Boards of Directors in discharging their statutory functions. In addition, the Complex provides legal and regulatory oversight of the conduct of the Bank Group’s business and integrated risk management of the Bank Group’s operations, oversees corporate communication with a range of internal and external stakeholders, promotes integrity, transparency, and the highest ethical standards and norms among Bank Group staff in the performance of their duties, and ensures the security of Bank Group staff, premises, physical assets, information, and data in all locations where the Bank Group conducts its activities. In addition, the Presidency Complex works to catalyze investments from diverse sources, in line with the Bank Group’s operational priorities. The President directly supervises several departments and units, including the Office of the President, the Integrity and Anti-Corruption Department, the Office of the Auditor General, the Group Risk Management Directorate, the General Counsel and Legal Services Department, the Communications and External Relations Department, the Staff Integrity and Ethics Office, the Office of the Secretary-General and General Secretariat, the Africa Investment Forum, the Joint Secretariat Support Office and the External Representation Office in Asia. THE HIRING DEPARTMENT: The African Development Bank Security Unit (PSEC) reports directly to the President of the Bank. It provides the full range of security services to the Bank and therefore requires its officers to be professional, versatile and able to operate at the tactical, operational and strategic levels. The Security Unit detects, prevents and responds to a wide range of threats and risks, including to the people, property, information and reputation of the Bank. Other functions of PSEC include risk analysis, training and coordination with external actors, as well as planning, programming and budgeting for various security programs. THE POSITION: The Senior Regional Security Officer is expected to provide expertise and specialized support on all aspects of security and safety in the region, based on international standards and Bank guidelines. KEY FUNCTIONS:https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?gdpr=1&gdpr_consent=CP5WeUAP5WeUAEsACBENAmEoAP_gAEPgAARgINJD7D7FbSFCwHpzaLsAMAhHRsCAQoQAAASBAmABQAKQIAQCgkAQFASgBAACAAAAICZBIQAECAAACUAAQAAAAAAEAAAAAAAIIAAAgAEAAAAIAAACAAAAEAAIAAAAEAAAmAgAAIIACAAAhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOhQD2F2K2kKFkPCmQWYAQBCijYEAhQAAAAkCBIAAgAUgQAgFIIAgAIFAAAAAAAAAQEgCQAAQABAAAIACgAAAAAAIAAAAAAAQQAAAAAIAAAAAAAAEAAAAAAAQAAAAIAABEhCAAQQAEAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAAABAAA&addtl_consent=2~2072.70.89.93.108.122.149.196.2253.2299.259.2357.311.313.323.2373.338.358.2415.415.449.2506.2526.486.494.495.2568.2571.2575.540.574.2624.609.2677.864.981.1029.1048.1051.1095.1097.1126.1201.1205.1211.1276.1301.1344.1365.1415.1423.1449.1451.1570.1577.1598.1651.1716.1735.1753.1765.1870.1878.1889.1958~dv.&client=ca-pub-8127528471213975&output=html&h=250&adk=3819105432&adf=3854646043&pi=t.aa~a.4238609582~i.24~rp.1&w=308&abgtt=3&fwrn=7&fwrnh=100&lmt=1719925681&num_ads=1&rafmt=1&armr=3&sem=mc&pwprc=1921297977&ad_type=text_image&format=308×250&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcameroun.minajobs.net%2Femplois-stage-recrutement%2F28398%2F&fwr=0&pra=3&rh=257&rw=308&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&fa=27&uach=WyJBbmRyb2lkIiwiOS4wLjAiLCIiLCJTTS1HOTU1RiIsIjEyNi4wLjY0NzguMTIyIixudWxsLDEsbnVsbCwiIixbWyJOb3QvQSlCcmFuZCIsIjguMC4wLjAiXSxbIkNocm9taXVtIiwiMTI2LjAuNjQ3OC4xMjIiXSxbIkdvb2dsZSBDaHJvbWUiLCIxMjYuMC42NDc4LjEyMiJdXSwwXQ..&dt=1719925680934&bpp=20&bdt=3103&idt=-M&shv=r20240625&mjsv=m202406250101&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3Db361006cb2e7d767%3AT%3D1709807324%3ART%3D1719925679%3AS%3DALNI_MaMfsLPM2rKtsEtagh4uyT7AyoQLA&gpic=UID%3D00000d6b63fd17d1%3AT%3D1709807324%3ART%3D1719925679%3AS%3DALNI_Mas3alp5uQkqFbdxsznN9I60rwxUA&eo_id_str=ID%3De518b8621a3d1d1a%3AT%3D1706611762%3ART%3D1719925679%3AS%3DAA-AfjYd8CzLt4KsDkf6dgQq25OF&prev_fmts=338×280%2C0x0&nras=2&correlator=4416465202103&frm=20&pv=1&tl=en&ga_vid=277750289.1719925680&ga_sid=1719925680&ga_hid=715568879&ga_fc=0&u_tz=180&u_his=1&u_h=846&u_w=412&u_ah=846&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_sd=2.625&dmc=4&adx=52&ady=2835&biw=412&bih=718&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&eid=44759876%2C44759927%2C44759837%2C44795922%2C95331695%2C95331833%2C95334509%2C95334529%2C95334566%2C95334572%2C95335248%2C31084186%2C31078663%2C31078665%2C31078668%2C31078670&oid=2&psts=AOrYGslV0F-Ab2NOu8P7TtcoDOafVqtHPk2l8CbZga2yf-w5-UbrTP4tGg8eVNprcQDHvaXFlYpQDDhfLYOn_yEmrlvh&pvsid=1278329241847551&tmod=1706020450&uas=0&nvt=1&fc=384&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C718%2C412%2C718&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&abl=NS&fu=1152&bc=31&bz=1&td=1&tdf=2&psd=W251bGwsbnVsbCxudWxsLDNd&nt=1&ifi=5&uci=a!5&btvi=1&fsb=1&dtd=285
