Regional Cash and Voucher Advisor (CVA) for Disaster Preparedness and Humanitarian Response Actions

The Organisation

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 know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. 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.

For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the lives of all children in more than 80 countries.

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

Plan International seeks to strengthen its regional technical capacity in cash and voucher assistance (CVA) in crisis contexts induced by natural or anthropogenic hazards, aligning with the global humanitarian preparedness and response strategy.
The Regional Advisor will lead the development and implementation of CVA strategies in anticipatory actions and emergency responses, provide operational support to Country Offices (COs), draft SOPs adapted to global and national policies, participate in sector coordination mechanisms, and promote feasibility and market analysis based on available information. A 50% field dedication is foreseen.

Equality, diversity and inclusion is at the very heart of everything that Plan International stands for.

We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial justice, gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion.

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
