- Background Information on Plan International
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 75 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

- Background/Context As part of Plan International’s Ukraine crisis response, a Ukraine Response Hub has been established by Plan International’s Global Hub. Recognising the distinctive urban nature of the current crisis in Ukraine and neighbouring countries, the Ukraine Response Hub – together with Plan International’s Urban Hub – is seeking a consultant to rapidly map and review existing literature, tools, and resources to support our urban response programming . Plan International’s new Global Strategy highlights the importance of scaling up our humanitarian work. Working together with Plan International’s Urban Hub, our goal is to position Plan International as a go-to agency for girl focussed urban programmes in the Ukraine crisis. The Urban Hub is a joint global initiative by Plan International Denmark and Australia launched in August 2020. The purpose of the Urban Hub is to coordinate the sharing and expansion of knowledge and good practice, across programming, interventions and influencing activities in urban contexts. A key area of concern and interest is the development and scaling up of humanitarian expertise from an urban perspective.
