Poste 1 : Urban Humanitarian Specialist – Ukraine Refugee Crisis Response
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 Role
The focus of this role is to provide support and guidance to our Ukraine Crisis programming and influencing work, ensuring that we integrate best urban humanitarian practice into our response design and delivery, and documenting key learning for dissemination in the wider humanitarian sector. The role will play a pivotal part in providing technical expertise, capacity building and skills sharing for local and national partners and Plan International staff. The post holder is responsible for developing and implementing an urban humanitarian programming framework for Plan International’s core technical areas – child protection, education, and cash-voucher assistance.
The post holder will have a dotted line management to Plan International’s Urban Hub which is a joint global initiative by Plan International Denmark and Australia launched in August 2020. The Urban Hub is managed by an Urban Hub Manager based in Denmark, an Urban Hub Coordinator based in Australia, an Urban Research Manager based in United Kingdom, and supported by a global Steering Group. The purpose of the Urban Hub is to coordinate the sharing and expansion of knowledge and good practice, across programming, interventions and influencing activities in urban contexts.
As part of its mandate, the Urban Hub is working in close collaboration with Plan International’s Global Hub – Humanitarian Department, where an area of significant concern and interest is developing and scaling up humanitarian expertise from an urban perspective.
Recognising the urban nature of the current crisis in Ukraine and the neighbouring countries, this position will support Plan International and its partners design and implement appropriate urban response programming, building on sectoral best practice. The post holder will support the professional development of partner organisations’ humanitarian skills and ways of working. The post holder will represent Plan International in national and international humanitarian networks and fora, and will seek to influence current policy and practice, ensuring a strong gender equity lens is brought into all aspects of our work. Plan International will be the NGO partner of choice for promoting equality for girls and protecting children’s rights by working across the humanitarian-development-peace (HDP) nexus – a holistic blend of development and humanitarian interventions – through principled and locally led humanitarian action.
The new Global Strategy for Plan International highlights the importance of scaling up our humanitarian work. This position will be a key part of ensuring we meet the objectives of the updated strategy.
