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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.
Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
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.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.
Role Purpose
Our global strategy specifically focuses on girls, as they are often the most marginalized and often left behind. We have committed ourselves to the ambitious target of reaching 100 million girls over 5 years, to ensure they can learn, lead, decide, and thrive. This is our contribution to reaching the sustainable development goals, and the goals of gender equality.
Our organization is transforming itself to meet this enormous challenge everywhere we work. We need bold, forward-thinking, and innovative individuals to lead our country’s operations, driving change and delivering results that will allow us to reach our target of 100 million girls.
The incumbent will work as Supply Chain Officer to ensure goods and services are procured within Services level agreement and within the best supply chain principles and practices. The position is responsible for procuring goods and services in a timely manner, taking into consideration end-to-end processes, and value for money while adhering to Plan International policies, procedures, and donor regulations.
