ROLE PURPOSE
Plan International is an independent child rights and humanitarian organisation committed to children living a life free of poverty, violence and injustice.
We actively unite children, communities and other people who share our mission to make positive lasting changes in children’s and young people’s lives. We support children to gain the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today and in the future. We place a specific focus on children, especially girls and women, who are most often left behind.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 85 years and are now active in over 80 countries.
Our new global strategy prioritises humanitarian scale up.
To respond to the growing unmet needs in emergencies and to strengthen the speed, quality, relevance and appropriateness of our emergency response and readiness work, we are investing in our humanitarian deployable capacity.
