Plan International

Plan International is an independent child rights and humanitarian organization committed to ensuring children live a life free of poverty, violence, and injustice. We actively unite children, communities, and other people who share our mission to make positive lasting changes in children’s and young people’s lives. We support children in gaining the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today and in the future. We place a specific focus on girls and women, who are most often left behind. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries. Plan International Jordan was established in 2016 and has programs throughout the country on education, youth empowerment, and protection in Amman, Karak, Jarash, and Azraq camps. Plan’s Global Gender Equality and Inclusion policy states that the core objectives of Plan International’s work are to achieve gender equality, promote gender justice, realize their rights, fostering an inclusive society. This commitment is reflected in our five-year country strategy, our Values, and Behaviours Framework, and our Theory of Change.

  • challenge stereotypes and unequal power relations between women, men, boys, and girls to promote gender equality, girls’ rights, and inclusion.
  • foster an organizational culture that embraces and exemplifies our commitment to gender equality, girls’ rights, and inclusion, while supporting staff to adopt good practices, positive attitudes, and the principles of gender equality and inclusion.

Project Background

Plan International Jordan is contracted by Novo Nordisk Foundation to implement a 5-year youth empowerment program called “Najahna” (2022-2026). The action will aim to complement JRP’s top priority, which is to strengthen systems to protect the dignity and welfare of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians impacted by the Syrian crisis. By doing this, the project will support Jordan’s enduring commitment to continue to build an integrated multi-year framework to respond to the Syrian crisis in a transparent, collaborative, and sustainable manner in line with the Global Compact on Refugees framework.

The She Leads program is a strategic partnership (consortium) that includes INGOs, national institutions, and civil society organizations and is part of a global/regional program that advocates for girls’ and young women’s rights.
