Join Us at Plan International Bangladesh: Make a Lasting Impact!
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 its girls who are most affected and mostly during crisis. 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. For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.
Over the 30 years journey in Bangladesh, we envision a 2030 where children and youth, particularly girls and young women, are recognized as leaders of change in gender norms and can make decisions about their lives.
Since 24 September 2017, Plan International has been responding to the Rohingya refugee influx in Cox’s Bazar with special focus on protecting girls and boys from violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation; improving hygiene and sanitation; and restoring access to safe, quality, and inclusive education for refugee children and adolescents. Guided by our core values, we remain unwavering in our commitment to advancing children’s rights and equality for girls so that children, especially girls, and their communities can learn, lead, decide, and thrive.
For the past three decades, our work in Bangladesh has made a significant impact, and we are now looking for a Programme Specialist – Climate Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction.
The Role: The Programme Specialist – Climate Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction (CR&DRR) provides strategic, technical, and operational leadership for the implementation, quality assurance, and growth of Plan Bangladesh’s Climate Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction portfolio.
The position serves as the lead manager of the flagship DURBAR: Girls-led Climate Solutions project, ensuring high-quality delivery of interventions related to climate change adaptation (CCA), disaster risk reduction (DRR), youth leadership, community resilience, climate-resilient livelihoods, climate-linked SRHR, and locally led adaptation. DURBAR aims to strengthen the resilience of youth, particularly girls, to climate shocks and stresses through youth-led action, strengthened institutions, improved preparedness systems, and climate-resilient livelihood opportunities.
Beyond DURBAR, the role supports the management and expansion of Plan Bangladesh’s broader CR&DRR portfolio, contributing to programme design, donor engagement, proposal development, technical innovation, knowledge generation, and strategic partnerships. The incumbent will ensure that resilience programming remains gender-transformative, youth-centered, evidence-informed, locally led, and aligned with national priorities such as the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100, Climate Prosperity Plan, Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD), and relevant global frameworks including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
The role acts as a key technical resource for climate resilience programming and contributes to positioning Plan Bangladesh as a leading organization in locally led adaptation, youth-led climate action, and community resilience.
