The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances childrenโs rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support childrenโs rights from birth until they reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.
We wonโt stop until we are all equal.
The Opportunity
Plan International has been working in Uganda since 1992, supporting vulnerable children, young people, and their families to break the cycle of poverty. The current strategy, which will end in 2027, is focusing on the following main areas of programming 1) Inclusive Quality Education which programme hosts ECD programming, school WASH and YEE, 2) Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights which programme focuses on adolescent health and school health which are major priorities of the government of Uganda. This programme also hosts our work on gender-transformative child protection. The strategy further has key crosscutting areas, and these include lead under which Plan International's Youth engagement work is undertaken, climate change and humanitarian assistance. Plan International Ugandaโs country office is located in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda and we have three sponsorship-supported Programme Implementation areas located in eastern Uganda, Northern Uganda and West Nile.
