1.POSITION VACANT: Project Lead – GO-HRM System, PCI India, Patna, Bihar

2. ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND:

About the Organization

Project Concern International/India (PCI) has been active in India since 1998, working across rural and urban areas to advance integrated health and community development. Its programs focus on low-income, vulnerable, and hard-to-reach populations, implemented in close collaboration with national/state governments and civil society organizations. PCI is recognized for high-quality, innovative initiatives that strengthen local capacity, empower communities, and enable civil society organizations and local governments to act as agents of their own progress.

Project Background:

Mission Karmayogi, the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCB), is designed to enhance and establish efficient governance through civil service capacity building. The aim of the Government is to prepare the Indian civil service for the future by ensuring that officials have the tools to be more innovative, professional, enabling and transparent.

The Framework of Roles, Activities and Competencies (FRAC) shapes the guiding principle comprising the mapping of three constructs (roles, activities and competencies, supported by knowledge resources) for each individual position within all government ministries, departments and organisations (MDOs) at the national, state and local level. Ensuring last-mile excellence is a key component of the capacity building initiatives envisioned under NPCSCB.
