About Plan Who we are Plan has been working for, and with, children for more than 75 years. Today, we work in 50 low-income and middle-income countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas to promote children’s rights and provide better opportunities for millions of children. We focus on the inclusion, education and protection of the most marginalised children, working in partnership with communities, local and national government and civil society. We are independent, with no religious, political or governmental affiliations. Our structure and governance Our 21 independent donor organisations raise awareness and provide funding and expertise for our programmes. In India and Colombia, we carry out both programming and fundraising activities. Plan International, Inc. designs and delivers programmes through regional and country level offices. Our programme offices are located in the areas where our programmes are implemented to allow us to respond to the situation of the local communities. Central services that support our programmes are provided by Plan Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Plan International, Inc. We maintain accountability through our International Board. This body is made up of members who are elected by our guiding body, the Members’ Assembly, to ensure that our senior executives run the organisation efficiently and effectively. 6 © Plan / Rob Few © Plan / Rafik Mourad Fawzy
How we work Plan sees a clear link between access to rights and poverty. The poorest and most vulnerable children are deprived of basic rights to health, education and protection. Children who have a healthy start in life and a quality education and are supported to play an active role in their own development have a much better chance of becoming economically secure adults, benefiting future generations and contributing to their countries’ economic growth. Plan believes that young people should have the chance to play an active role in setting priorities, developing strategies, assessing local progress, preparing for disasters, and taking part in decisions that affect their communities. All these activities can help build their confidence and skills and enable them to become active citizens. Our child-centred community development approach is firmly based on the concepts of child rights, principles of inclusion and non-discrimination and participation. We work with children, communities and other key partners, such as local organisations, national networks and government agencies. Key features of our work include: • working closely with children and their families in the communities where they live • working with local and national government to hold them to account and support them to meet their obligations towards child rights • partnerships with a range of civil society organisations to strengthen their capacity and to implement programmes • engaging with corporations in socially responsible programmes • working within coalitions and alliances to tackle the underlying causes of poverty through advocacy and campaigns on child rights. Plan’s work covers eight programme areas addressing children’s rights to: 1 a quality education (see page 16) 2 a healthy start in life (see page 18) 3 grow up safely in communities that are resilient to disasters, and have their rights protected during emergencies (see page 20) 4 participate as citizens (see page 22) 5 protection from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence (see page 24) 6 economic security (see page 26) 7 sexual and reproductive health, including HIV prevention, care and treatment (see page 28) 8 a safe, consistent supply of drinking water and improved sanitation (see page 29).
