Working in 54 developing countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas, with a total annual budget of approximately Euros1 billion, Plan International’s stated Global Strategic Goal is to reach 200 million girls, particularly those living in fragile contexts, fighting injustice or facing crisis, with high-quality programs that deliver long-lasting benefits.
Plan International Kenya (PIK), operational since 1982, focuses on long-term development. Collaborating closely with local communities and governments, PIK implements programs to enhance the well-being of children in areas such as Nairobi, Machakos, Kajiado, Tharaka-Nithi, Isiolo, Kwale, Kilifi, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Tana River, Turkana, and Marsabit.
Under the current Country Strategy, PIK aims to end teenage pregnancies and gender-based violence against girls. This goal aligns with four strategic objectives:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR): Improve access to SRHR services and information to reduce teenage pregnancies and harmful practices in Kenya.
- Prevention and Response to Gender-Based Violence: Ensure functional child and girls' rights protection mechanisms to prevent and respond to all forms of violence and abuse.
- Protecting Girls and Young Women in Crisis and Climate Change Adaptation: Minimize the impact of disasters on girls, young women, families, and communities.
- Youth-led and Innovative Partnerships for Job Creation: Build a stronger ecosystem for youth employment and entrepreneurship, particularly for vulnerable young women, fostering job seekers and creators.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Resilience and Humanitarian Programming Manager provides strategic, technical, and operational leadership for Plan International Kenya’s humanitarian preparedness, emergency response, and resilience programming. The role ensures that PIK is fully equipped to prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies while building long-term community resilience and driving climate adaptation and nexus programming across the portfolio.
The position strengthens PIK’s institutional capability to deliver high-quality, gender-transformative interventions in humanitarian settings; champions climate-resilient programming across sectors; leads nexus planning and integration; and ensures that PIK is well positioned within national, regional, and global coordination mechanisms.
The role represents PIK in national humanitarian and DRR coordination platforms, leads donor engagement and resource mobilisation for humanitarian and climate-resilience programming, and supports CO leadership in aligning country response strategies with Plan International’s Global Humanitarian Strategy, Climate Change Adaptation Framework, and the HDP nexus approach.
