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.

Plan started working in Egypt in 1981 and has a presence in ten of the 27 governorates in which the country is divided: two urban (Cairo and Alexandria) and five rural (Giza, Cairo, Beheira, Kalyobia, Damietta, Qena, Assiut and Sohag). Plan Egypt's work focuses on child rights, implementing programs designed to enable communities to improve the lives of the most marginalized children and their families. Plan Egypt's Country Strategy focuses on five strategic objectives listed below:

• Improve the quality of early childhood care & education;
• Promote economic empowerment of vulnerable young men & women;
• Facilitate girls in realising their full potential in an enabling and gender responsive environment that protects them from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence;
• Support adolescents and young people, particularly girls to become active drivers of change and lead the way towards more equitable and inclusive societies;
• Promote adolescents and young people, particularly girls to be empowered to take informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and live free from gender-based violence

The Project coordinator will be responsible and ultimately accountable for the project's quality programming and results achievement, financial management and compliance, team leadership, stakeholder and partner relations, and donor deliverables. S/he will demonstrate excellent project management and problem-solving skills, a very high degree of maturity, flexibility, organization and communication skills, and strategic thinking to meet the demands of a dynamic and sometimes unpredictable operating environment while ensuring Plan International's systems and policies and donor requirements are adhered to, especially gender transformative programming and child and youth safeguarding. The Project Manager will provide effective and quality leadership to the projects' implementation teams based in the field.

Background of the Project

Project Name: Youth Inclusion and Employment Project

Outcome: Young women and men have enhanced employability and engage in entrepreneurship.

The project focuses on enabling young people to be inspired and included in economic life. Both burgeoning entrepreneurs and youth in search of employment are targeted. Upcoming entrepreneurs will be supported through the building of life skills and inclusion into relevant business ecosystems in order to establish themselves and make a living by bringing their ideas to life. Youth in search of employment will build technical skills to ensure that they have the qualifications needed in the labour market. All of this will aim at ensuring that their employability is enhanced at the same time as their own capacity to secure a job is enhanced.

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan International stands for.

We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial justice, gender equality, girls' rights and inclusion.

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. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan International's Safeguarding Children and Young People policy. Plan International also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this scheme we will request information from applicants previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

Please note that Plan International will never send unsolicited emails requesting payment from candidates.
