Issues and themes

Plan’s work is child centred and community based. We work with over 90,000 communities in 49 countries around the world to help develop responses to their needs and to the day-to-day challenges they face.

Plan works with children and their communities to help realise their rights. These rights include the rights of survival, development, protection and participation. Our work is influential at all levels - from a local community’s plan for access to quality education to national plans to eliminate school fees.

Social protection
Plan is calling for donor governments to support developing country governments to deliver social protection for the poorest and most vulnerable

Child-centred disaster risk reduction
Plan is working to strengthen disaster-resilient communities through a child-centred approach

HIV and AIDS
In Plan’s experience, it is clear that children have the capacity to contribute to solutions for HIV/AIDS, we therefore build their capabilities into our long-term work with communities affected by HIV/AIDS

Children's participation
Plan’s work with communities is based on our model of Child Centred Community Development where we value children’s ability and right to participate in and inform decisions about issues that affect them

Street children
Plan works together with children, their families and their communities to ensure that no child is forced by circumstances to look to the streets for a livelihood or for accommodation
