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 Project Communications Officer supports the development and implementation of Communications & Influencing plans for AGiC Project in terms of the design of project, ensuring that any Influencing or Communication that is necessary for project success is factored into the plan and budget and aligning project activities to the Country Strategy. Additionally, the role is responsible for leading campaigns in support of project goals, which have the potential to change mindsets and behaviour for a wide variety of stakeholders. The Officer brings significant technical expertise in the development of innovative influencing and communications strategies.

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe.
