5 Steps to get a job in the United Nations

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances childrenโ€™s 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 childrenโ€™s 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 wonโ€™t stop until we are all equal.

The Opportunity

Plan Chad is one of the fifteen Plan Internationalโ€™s countries of operational presence in West and Central Africa. The organisation has been registered in Chad since October 2021 and started operations in the country in July 2023 within the backdrop of the Sudanese Refugee Crisis in the East. Since then Plan Chad has led projects in different sectors, including on Education in Emergencies, Child Protection in Emergencies, Nutrition, Cash Programming, WASH and Sexual & Reproductive Health and has become one of the prominent childโ€™s rights organisations in the country.

Plan International Chad is scaling up its programmatic and influencing footprint in the country to respond to gender and inclusive lifesaving immediatel needs and addressing vulnerabilities and protection risks faced by children and their families in the country, particularly those affected by the Sudanese crisis in Eastern Chad.

The organisation is looking to recruit a talented and dedicated Head of Mission to drive this work. They will lead Plan Internationalโ€™s humanitarian, development and advocacy work in the country, setting overall direction, leading a high performing team and ensuring accountability for meeting demanding targets, in line with Plan Internationalโ€™s standards and global strategic priorities.
