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.
JOB PURPOSE
The KP Program Officer will provide oversight, technical, and strategic guidance to ensure that sub-recipients effectively design, implement, and monitor high-quality KP-focused TB/HIV interventions across project sites in Liberia. This includes developing and reviewing strategies, work plans, and tools for outreach, testing, treatment, and care among KPs. The Lead will collaborate closely with government agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), community-based organizations (CBOs), and other partners to ensure that KP interventions are relevant, sustainable, and meet the highest quality standards. By doing so, the KP Program Officer will help strengthen community health systems, reduce TB/HIV transmission, and create healthier environments for vulnerable people, children and their families.
