  1. BACKGROUND

 

Luxembourg has supported the health sector in Mongolia since 2001. The focus of the bilateral cooperation is combating cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the first cause of mortality in Mongolia. This collaboration has unfolded in multiple phases, each expanding the scope of interventions. 

The current MON/007 project “Cardiology, cardio surgery and telemedicine in Mongolia” finishes end of 2027. LuxDev is currently launching the MON/008 project, entitled “Support to the Establishment of the National Cardiovascular Centre (NCC)”, in partnership with the Government of Mongolia and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). LuxDev is also currently formulating the MON/009 project “Matching Fund for Medical Equipment and Technologies”.

Given the scale and complexity of the bilateral cooperation in the health sector in Mongolia, LuxDev is recruiting a “Projects Manager” with strong international experience to oversee the implementation of the different initiatives and ensure their alignment with Luxembourg’s development cooperation principles.

The Projects Manager will be based in Ulaanbaatar and will serve as LuxDev’s senior representative in Mongolia, responsible for administrative and financial compliance of the different initiatives, managing the team and quality assurance. He/she will work in close collaboration with LuxDev’s Senior Sector Advisor (SSA) in Mongolia.

The Projects Manager will promote LuxDev’s values in the field. He/she supports LuxDev’s main mission to strengthen capacities. Projects Manager participates in the implementation of the Agency’s vision.
