People In Need (PIN) is a non-governmental, non-profit, international organization founded in the Czech Republic in 1992. Along with PIN Mongolia, PIN now works in more than 30 countries globally. PIN's global structure includes Headquarters (HQ) based in the Czech Republic, and PIN UK based in London, United Kingdom.
PIN came to Mongolia during the winter of 1993 with food and clothing donations as the Mongolian population struggled to adapt to the new realities resulting from the collapse of the Soviet Union. PIN returned to Mongolia during the dzud (extreme winter disaster) of 2009–2011, with the permanent office established in 2011. Since then, PIN has delivered more than 30 projects covering all 21 Aimags (provinces), impacting thousands of people in rural and urban settings. These projects have focused on climate change and sustainable livelihoods, emergency response, gender and social inclusion, civil society empowerment and good governance, and education and skills development sectors.
The "Digital Inclusion through Civil Society Organization (CSO) Empowerment (DICE): Empowering CSOs to Advance Inclusive Digital Transformation" project is a collaborative initiative undertaken by PIN Mongolia in partnership with the Faro Foundation. The project is to design a comprehensive, locally-driven strategy that empowers civil society to play a central role in driving inclusive digitalization in Mongolia. Key objectives are to enhance CSOs' internal digital capabilities, improve the digital and media literacy of marginalized citizens, expand access to e-services, amplify citizen voices through digital technologies, and advocate for a more inclusive regulatory framework that prioritizes people in the digital transformation process. The project aims to place the interests of citizens at the forefront of Mongolia's digital transformation and equip CSOs with the necessary skills, resources, and networks to proactively reduce the digital divide.
The Project Manager (PM) takes overall responsibility for all aspects of project cycle management (PCM), including identification of needs, decision to intervene, planning and formulation of the project, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and ensuring project feedback loops are in place and lead to adaptations to improve programming in real-time. With support and guidance from the Country Director, Senior Management Team, and Country Programme team members, the PM is responsible for achieving project results and indicators and fulfilling the contractual obligations of the project.
The PM plays a pivotal role in driving inclusive digital transformation by empowering CSOs to become well-informed about digital opportunities and threats, enhancing their digital and media literacy skills. Through effective networking, advocacy, and policy dialogue that support responsible digitalization policies, the PM equips CSOs with the tools and knowledge to extend these capabilities to marginalized communities, in alignment with the Digital Nation strategy of the Government of Mongolia.
The PM sets an example to others through adhering to, and actively promoting PIN's Code of Conduct and Core Policies (including Safeguarding, Anti-Corruption, Whistleblowing policies) with all the personnel working under his/her supervision.
