Plan International recrute ce poste (02 Février 2023)

Plan International est une organisation humanitaire et de développement indépendante qui fait progresser les droits des enfants et l’égalité des filles.

Nous croyons au pouvoir et au potentiel de chaque enfant. Mais ce potentiel est souvent étouffé par la pauvreté, la violence, l’exclusion et la discrimination. Et ce sont les filles qui sont les plus touchées.

En collaboration avec les enfants, les jeunes, nos supporters et nos partenaires, nous nous efforçons de créer un monde juste, en nous attaquant aux causes profondes des problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les filles et tous les enfants vulnérables.

Nous soutenons les droits des enfants de la naissance à l’âge adulte. Nous permettons aux enfants de se préparer et de réagir aux crises et à l’adversité. Nous faisons évoluer les pratiques et les politiques aux niveaux local, national et mondial en utilisant notre portée, notre expérience et nos connaissances.

Nous construisons des partenariats puissants pour les enfants depuis plus de 85 ans, et nous sommes maintenant actifs dans plus de 80 pays.

Notre stratégie mondiale « All girls standing strong creating global change » (Toutes les filles sont fortes et créent un changement mondial) met l’accent sur les filles, car elles sont souvent les plus marginalisées et les plus laissées pour compte. Nous nous sommes engagés à atteindre l’objectif ambitieux de 200 millions de filles en 5 ans, afin qu’elles puissent apprendre, diriger, décider et s’épanouir. Il s’agit de notre contribution à la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable, et en particulier des objectifs relatifs à l’égalité des sexes, tant dans le domaine humanitaire que dans celui du développement. Notre organisation se transforme pour relever l’énorme défi partout où nous travaillons. Nous avons besoin de personnes audacieuses, avant-gardistes et innovantes pour diriger nos opérations nationales, conduire le changement et obtenir des résultats qui nous permettront d’atteindre notre objectif de 200 millions de filles.
