Plan International is an independent humanitarian and development organization that promotes children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but we know that this potential is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is the children who are most affected.
Working with children, youth, supporters and partners, we strive to create a just world by addressing the root causes of the challenges faced by vulnerable girls and boys. We support children’s rights from birth to adulthood and empower children to prepare for and respond to crises and disasters. We drive change in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
For over 85 years, we have brought together other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in over 80 countries.
We will not stop until we are all equal.

The International Plan Nigeria aims to respond effectively, rapidly and at scale to the basic humanitarian needs of children and their families affected by the Boko Haram crisis in northeastern Nigeria. In particular, the International Plan Nigeria aims to minimize disruption to formal and non-formal education systems and restore formal education services; to strengthen the proactive environment for children and their families, including age- and gender-sensitive services during and after disasters; to create opportunities and build the capacities of young people affected by armed conflict to generate income and improve their life skills; and become a recognized player in both fields, linking community-based interventions with national and inter-agency coordination mechanisms, where the International Plan of Nigeria will progressively assume leadership roles. Therefore, the Humanitarian Programme Manager is responsible for the quality and effectiveness of Plan International Nigeria’s humanitarian programme. Oversee the development and implementation of the humanitarian programme plan (including the implementation of various projects with various institutional donors and country offices), maintain the main emergency budget, ensure the smooth development of Sitreps, represent the organization in various groups, working groups and with external and internal humanitarian actors (i.e. Regional Office, IH, Lake Chad Basin Unit), to be the hierarchical overall manager of the entire emergency response team, which is spread across three zones (Abuja, Maiduguri and Mubi).
