PACT Overview
Pact
is an international nonprofit that works in nearly 40 countries
building solutions for human development that are evidence-based,
data-driven and owned by the communities we serve. Founded in 1971, Pact
works with partners to build resilience, improve accountability, and
strengthen knowledge and skills for sustainable social impact.

Department:
Innovation
– Pact has a dedicated innovation practice for finding and scaling
solutions to social problems in the form of products, processes, and
wider business models with a focus on human centered design. Pact
has several methods to facilitate idea generation from an online
Innovation Marketplace on its social intranet system called Mosaic to an
in-country innovation workshop that uses Human-Centered Design (HCD) to
tease out new ideas. Pact exists to help create a world where those who
are poor and marginalized exercise their voice, build their own
solutions and take ownership of their future. The Innovation team
contributes to realizing this by:

• enabling environments for innovation to thrive in Pact’s country offices and HQ.
• Providing technical assistance to internal departments, country
  offices, and projects through project development and innovation
  methodologies.
• Building internal innovation assets: capacity
  building in country offices through curriculum development and
  implementation; sourcing internal innovations and seeking innovation
  funding opportunities; facilitating knowledge sharing across Mosaic and
  other platforms.
• Business Development: contributing to
  pre-positioning and proposal development with the Opportunity
  Development team and building external innovation partnerships.
• Thought-leadership; participating in the innovation in development
  conversation by attending events, hosting meetings, and making
  relationships with potential partners and donors.
