**The South Asia Region Context**

The South Asia Region comprises eight countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) that range in size from India (with a population of over 1 billion) to Maldives (with 0.3 million people). The region has experienced a long period of robust economic growth, averaging 6% a year over the past 20 years. It was the second-fastest growing region in the world after the global crisis. This strong growth has translated into declining poverty and impressive improvements in human development. The percentage of people living below the poverty line fell in South Asia from 56% to 16% between 1981 and 2013. Still, the region remains home to a third of the world’s poorest, with 216 million people living below $1.9/day.

The SAR ENB (SSAEN) program is one of ENB’s largest, comprising over $900 million of loan financing support under implementation, with another several hundred million in the Fy25-26 pipeline, all towards a program on green, inclusive and resilient development, including a focus on sustainable landscapes and forests, oceans and pollution management, reflecting the critical importance of renewable natural resources for the economy and jobs. SAR NRM assets are also tied closely with South Asia longer term development. However, these resources are under significant pressure, with deforestation and land use change, land and water pollution, and coastal and marine resources management facing important challenges.

**Job duties and responsibilities**:

- Lead the identification, design and implementation support of natural resource management lending programs and projects, including through leading preparation of detailed technical and operational design elements, with a primary focus on large landscape and forest programs and platforms, and contribution to the resilience agenda of the region.

- Contribute to and/or lead analytical inputs in support of the SAR’s sustainable landscapes.
