We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often
suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its
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 children’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.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 75 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.
The Opportunity

for supporting the strengthening of the quality of Plan International’s

implementation of durable solutions such as repatriation and
resettlement, community-based protection and community/family-based
psychosocial support. You will be required to make strategic suggestions
for the programme design/modification in order to effectively respond
to the protection and developmental needs of vulnerable children.
You will be responsible for the strengthening of community groups and
mechanisms that have a role in protecting children in humanitarian
settings. You will also ensure that the child and youth safeguarding
policy is implemented in all the work you do. You will be a Plan
International representative in government/inter-agency coordination
meetings and initiatives on child protection.
You will be required to regularly visit Plan’s field activities and

psychosocial support as needed to the affected population.
