THE ORGANISATION
Plan International Jordan (PIJO), an International Non-Governmental Organization established in 2016, has been at the forefront of addressing critical issues related to children’s rights and gender equality across Jordan. With a comprehensive portfolio of programs spanning education, youth empowerment, and protection—including Child Protection (CP), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)—PIJO is dedicated to creating safer communities for both Syrian refugees and Jordanian host populations. Operating across various governorates, our initiatives are tailored to meet the specific needs of refugees and vulnerable groups within these communities. Central to our mission is the support of at-risk children, adolescents and youth, focusing on preventing and responding to child marriage, child labor, and broader CP and GBV issues, while promoting their decision-making, participation, and empowerment.
Collaborating closely with parents and communities, PI works to raise awareness about child protection issues and bolster the capacity of families and societies to address the sexual and reproductive health needs of children and adolescents, aiming to safeguard them from violence, abuse, and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence. Embedded in our operations is Plan’s Global Gender Equality and Inclusion Policy, which guides our commitment to achieving gender equality, promoting gender justice, realizing girls’ rights, and fostering an inclusive society. This policy underpins PI’s five-year country strategy, our Values and Behaviors Framework, and our Theory of Change
