The Organisation

 




Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s 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 it’s 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 over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

The Opportunity

The Joining Forces Alliance applied for a €16 million grant from the German Foreign Federal Office (GFFO) to address major child protection in emergency issues in various conflict settings across the world. The project “Joining Forces for Child Protection in Emergencies (JF-CPiE)” will be implemented in 6 countries (Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Colombia, South Sudan, Ethiopia,) across two years/24 months with an expecting starting date in July 2022. All six agencies that are part of the Joining Forces Alliance have a role in the consortium that has been brought together to implement this project, with 2 agencies having an implementation role in each of the six targeted countries. Plan International Germany is the consortium lead and will contract the overall Project Manager and MERL Coordinator as well as Controlling and Compliance Coordinator.
