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 know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. 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. For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries. We won’t stop until we are all equal.

The Project M&E Coordinator is part of the Programme Development and Quality function and will ensure comprehensive and effective performance monitoring and evaluation plans are in place. The role will be held accountable for implementing all procedures as intended and ensuring that all reporting is holistic, comprehensive and timely to facilitate consistent project delivery and the achievement of the desired objectives. The Project M&E Coordinator provides technical guidance and support to internal and external stakeholders.
