Monitoring & Evaluation Specialist
Company: Plan International
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 75 countries.
