Plan International is a rights-based development and humanitarian organization working for better lives for all children. We are independent of government and have no political or religious affiliation. Our purpose is to strive for a just world that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.
Our global strategy has a specific focus on girls, as they are often the most marginalized and most often left behind. We have committed ourselves to the ambitious target of reaching 100 million girls over 5 years, to ensure they can learn, lead, decide and thrive. This is our contribution to reaching the sustainable development goals, and in particular the goals on gender equality. Our organization is transforming itself to meet an enormous challenge everywhere we work. We need bold, forward-thinking and innovative individuals to lead our country operations, driving change and delivering results that will allow us to reach our target of 100 million girls.
Plan International’s programs in Ethiopia focuses on Child Protection, Education, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Food and Economic Security, Healthy Village Programs, Humanitarian Response and Resilience Building that we implement in Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, South, Gambella, Afar and Benishangul-Gumuz Regional States and Addis Ababa City Administration.
