The Organization

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization 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 75 countries.

PURPOSE OF THE FUNCTION

Working in 54 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas, Plan aims to reach as many children as possible, especially those who are excluded or marginalized, with high quality programs that bring lasting benefits by increasing its income, working in partnership with others and operating efficiently. Plan is committed to responding to children affected by emergencies in the countries where we operate.

Given the current humanitarian crisis in the Far North region of Cameroon, Plan is committed to contributing to the effective participation of young people in peacebuilding efforts. The action of the project is to support peace and security and strengthen stabilization efforts in the Lake Chad Basin by improving the coordination of stabilization activities and therefore reducing the gap between political intentions and realities on the ground.
