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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. And itโs girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters, and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
We support childrenโs rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for โ and respond to โ crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national, and global levels using our reach, experience, and knowledge. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.
The Opportunity
Plan Internationalโs global strategy applies a full spectrum approach where Humanitarian is an integral part of everything the organization does for children and girls, especially in fragile settings. A new Humanitarian vision was developed in 2018 highlighting Planโs ambition of becoming a global leader and the NGO partner of choice for promoting gender equality and protecting girlsโ rights in disaster and conflict settings, working at the nexus of development and humanitarian efforts.
