Descriptif :
Since 2019, PN has been reflecting on its context, model and impact to strongly improve its relevance, sustainability and visibility.
Indeed, the world of work undergoes tremendous changes at an always quicker pace. Changes are mainly due to the fast progressing digitalization of economies affecting the entire global workforce, especially disadvantaged young people and populations, most especially (young) women. They are at great risk of professional displacement and unemployment as jobs of the future will likely look very different and new skills to work and to stay relevant will be needed.
As a consequence, PN underwent an in-depth transformation in order to review the organization, develop solutions, expand reach, enhance operational capacity, improve financial sustainability and become an innovative player for inclusive technology in a digitalized economy.
Also, to serve these objectives, PN has been transitioning progressively since 2020 and has been trying to enhance its operational approach and improve operational practices.
In 2021, PN went through an organizational change management process leading to a new mode of governance and new structure. It aims to empower the staff and centers with a vision of granting more autonomy to each country of operation to achieve organizational sustainability in the long run. In this context, PN has been adapting to the current organizational structure to successfully continue its transformation and development to achieve its social mission in a sustainable way.
To further support PN’s new governance, the organization identified and created new roles on a global level to strengthen support in every center. PN came up with a decision to merge the Communication and Fundraising departments with objectives of improving efficiency and coordination between these two teams and strengthening support both for the global and local teams.
Hence, the Global Fundraising and Communications Manager post was created to spearhead this ambition.
