Team Leader- NEET EARN Project

 

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. Plan International envisions a world in which all children and young people realize their full potential, a vision shared by the 193 Heads of State and Government who adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in September 2015.

We believe in the power and potential of every child, often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. Girls are most affected, and Plan International’s new Global Strategy aims to transform the lives of 100 million girls through an integrated program and influence approach.

In Bangladesh, our vision for 2030 is to partner to empower girls and young women, to be heard, to live without fear of violence, and to achieve their rights. Our new country strategy, initiated in July 2020, aims to achieve this ambitious vision, demanding an efficient and committed workforce willing to challenge the status quo and engage all community members in creating synergy for change at all levels, from the community to the national level and beyond.
