Child protection/ Children’s rights Gender-based violence (GBV)
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.

ROLE PURPOSE
Plan International is seeking a senior-level, dynamic and motivated Child Marriage in Humanitarian Settings Technical Lead to strengthen and expand Plan’s Child Protection in Humanitarian Action (CPHA) programming around GBV, with focus on adolescent girls, particularly on the issue of child marriage.
The Technical Lead will also be responsible for a global initiative to scale-up programming targeting adolescents, with a special focus on child marriage, in collaboration with UNHCR.
The Technical lead is accountable for developing and disseminating global-level resources and tools in order to strengthen child protection programming to address child marriages in humanitarian settings.
The Technical Lead will be responsible for driving a learning and development agenda to create more capacity strengthening opportunities for inter-agency staff to advance their professional development around child marriage, child and adolescent survivors of GBV and adolescent girls.
As the portfolio lead for child marriage in humanitarian settings, the Technical Lead is expected to source and diversify funding opportunities for programming, advocacy and coordination related to the technical area. Relatedly, the Technical Lead will provide thought leadership on the research and policy agenda to plug gaps in evidence and knowledge that avoids duplication and remains relevant to country level programming.
The post-holder is expected to lead on external positioning of Plan International within the humanitarian coordination system and among UN agencies and donors to support the uptake and implementation of programming and advocacy to tackle GBV affecting adolescents, with focus on girls, particularly on the issue of child marriage.
