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 80 years,
and are now active in more than 70 countries.
The Vision
Plan International’s global strategy applies a full spectrum approach where
Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is an integral part of everything the
organisation does with and for children and girls, especially in fragile
settings.
Our ambition is to become a global leader and the NGO partner of choice for
promoting gender equality and protecting girls’ rights in disaster and
conflict settings, working at the nexus of development and humanitarian
efforts.
While our emergency response work is driven by the humanitarian imperative and
principles, as a global organisation Plan International has invested in three
priority focus areas; Child Protection in Emergency (CPIE), Education in
Emergency (EIE) and Youth Economic Empowerment in Emergency (YEEIE).
Plan International has developed a systematic approach to integrating Disaster
Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation into our Country Strategies and
promoting a resilience approach to our programmes. Our ambition is to continue
to grow the DRM portfolio in this area.
As an organisation we place great importance on contributing to the work and
collective learning, strengthened coordination and quality of work in the
sector and increasingly take on inter-agency leadership roles within our areas
of expertise at a country and global level.
In the last financial year Plan International responded to 171 emergencies of
differing scales and significance across 55 countries with a focus on Child
Protection and Education in Emergencies programming.
> 61,258,951 girls, boys, women and men were reached through this work in FY20
> Spending relating to disaster risk management totalled €175 million in FY20
> Plan International partnered with 27,600 community organisations, over 3,400 NGO’s and 934 corporate and private sector institutions.
