Description
WBG Pioneers, the World Bank Group’s Internship Program, offers undergraduate and postgraduate students a high impact learning experience at the heart of global development. Participants gain hands on experience in a diverse and dynamic environment, contribute fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, and connect with international professionals working to end poverty on a livable planet.
The Development Economics Policy Indicators Group (DECIG) produces quantitative indicators of business regulation through primary data collected by the department on laws, regulations, and the experiences of firms operating in the private sector.
Within DECIG, the Enterprise Analysis Unit (DECEA) has developed the Enterprise Surveys (WBES), a survey instrument that links investment climate conditions to firm outcomes such as performance, firm growth, productivity, and employment in client countries. To date, DECEA has assembled a critical mass of firm-level data using ES on more than 200,000 firms across all World Bank regions. WBES also provides factual firm-experience data in support of the World Bank’s Business Ready project. The Unit has developed additional products to meet internal client demands in data collection, indicator generation, and data analysis, including an informal sector survey, innovation modules, and WBES follow-ups to measure the impacts of shocks. The team produces peer reviewed research across private sector development using internal and external data.
DECEA is seeking to hire 2 Short-Term Interns for a 12 week term to execute high value, well defined tasks that strengthen survey standardization and monitoring, accelerate research output, and support dissemination around the Enterprise Surveys. The interns will contribute across four streams: (1) building a questionnaire bank; (2) providing research assistance; (3) supporting dissemination activities; and (4) integrating AI quality control into workflows. The work will generate durable assets, improve operational efficiency, and reduce fieldwork risk and cost.
Duties and Responsibilities
Support the development of micro enterprise surveys’ and informal sector surveys’ materials and corresponding website pages.
Assist with research activities across the team, including drafting and editing blogs and providing research support to staff on ongoing work.
Support in the validation of AI assisted workflows to guarantee accuracy and reliability of outputs.
Assist in maintaining and updating a questionnaire question bank to enable robust cross country and longitudinal analysis of WBES and related instruments.
Support CAPI questionnaire testing to ensure quality and reliability of survey instruments prior to fieldwork.
Selection Criteria
Candidates must be currently enrolled in and in the final year of an undergraduate degree or be enrolled in a postgraduate (master's/PhD) program.
Candidates must have 0–6 years of relevant professional experience.
Academic background must align with the requirements outlined in the job description. Preferred fields of study include Economics, Public Policy, Statistics, Data Science, International Development, or related quantitative disciplines.
Candidates must demonstrate basic quantitative skills, including proficiency in Excel at a minimum. Familiarity with statistical software (e.g., Stata, R, or Python) is an advantage.
Demonstrated interest in development work and the World Bank Group's mission.
Strong analytical, research, and problem-solving skills.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in diverse, team-based environments.
Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities within tight deadlines.
Proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus.
No-Fee Internship Eligibility
This position is offered under the WBG Pioneers No-Fee Internship Track. Students may be offered a no-fee STT appointment provided that they either: (a) are enrolled in a Master's, PhD, or similar graduate program during the entire internship (or are in the fifth year or higher of a degree program in countries where higher education is not divided into undergraduate and graduate stages) and provide an official letter from their university confirming that the internship fulfills academic requirements for at least one term of study; or (b) are enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies and receive a stipend from their university at least equivalent to the minimum STT T1 fee level in effect at the start of the assignment, as confirmed by an official university letter.
Note: Please limit your applications to a maximum of three positions. Applications exceeding this limit will not be considered.
WBG Culture Attributes: 1. Sense of urgency: Anticipate and quickly respond to the needs of internal and external stakeholders. 2. Thoughtful risk-taking: Challenge the status quo and push boundaries to achieve greater impact. 3. Empowerment and accountability: Empower yourself and others to act and hold each other accountable for results.

The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. Our vision is to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet.
We are not a bank in the common sense; we are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 189 member countries: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA).
Each institution plays a different but collaborative role in advancing the vision of inclusive and sustainable globalization. The IBRD aims to reduce poverty in middle-income and creditworthy poorer countries, while IDA focuses on the world's poorest countries.
Their work is complemented by that of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
Together, we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credits and grants to developing countries for a wide array of purposes that include investments in education, health, public administration, infrastructure, financial and private sector development, agriculture and environmental and natural resource management.
