ORGANISATIOANL CONTEXT 

Plan International is a rights-based development and humanitarian organisation working to advance children’s rights and equality for girls. Independent of governments and free from political or religious affiliation, we work to ensure all children can thrive. Operating across Africa, Asia, and the Americas, Plan International focuses on reaching the most excluded and marginalised children and young people through high-quality, lasting programmes, strong partnerships, sustainable growth, and efficient operations. 

Plan International Thailand (PIT) has worked in Thailand since 1981 to advance children’s rights and equality for girls, focusing on marginalised groups including migrant and stateless children, indigenous and ethnic minorities, and conflict-affected populations. PIT operates mainly in Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Sot, Greater Bangkok, and other priority locations. PIT’s programme portfolio includes girls’ and youth leadership, CSO strengthening, protection including digital and online protection and wellbeing, youth skills, employment and entrepreneurship, ethical recruitment and labour rights, sexual and reproductive health, and climate resilience. To deliver its strategy, PIT works closely with government, civil society, academia and research institutions, private sector actors, youth networks, and community-based organisations.
