Background
Plan International is a global
organization that works side by side with communities in 50 developing
countries to end the cycle of poverty for children and their families. Plan
works at the community level to develop customized solutions and ensure long-term
sustainability. Our solutions are designed up-front to be owned by communities
and range from clean water and healthcare programs to education projects,
economic empowerment, child protection initiatives and youth civic engagement.
Across program areas, Plan’s activities are guided by a Child-Centered
Community Development (CCCD) approach, which is rights-based, holistic,
gender-sensitive, and inclusive.
Project and Position Description
Plan International is seeking Chief
of Party (COP) candidates for the Protecting Human Rights Project (PHR) in

focuses on reducing the prevalence of domestic violence and other human rights
abuses including ending child marriage. The Program was extended and is now
entering its sixth and final year of implementation.
The COP will have authority and
oversight over the project, including managing all activities of
sub-recipients, coordinating all program-focused strategic planning and
decision making, and staff management. The COP will serve as key liaison with
USAID, the Government of Bangladesh implementing partners, and other
stakeholders. Primary responsibilities include providing overall leadership,
management, and general technical direction of the program as per USG policies,
