Our funding
Our work in the region has remained possible thanks to our many supporters and partners who have supported lasting changes for children and communities.
Where we work
Plan International Regional Hub for the Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa (MEESA)
The Regional Hub works in 16 countries to respond to key challenges facing children, especially girls, and young people in the region. Based in Kenya’s capital Nairobi, the regional hub supports cross-border humanitarian concerns as well as coordinates country and/or multi-country preparedness and response.
All the 16 countries in the region of the Middle East, Eastern and Southern Africa identify violations of children and girls’ rights as their biggest concern, caused by factors such as retrogressive cultural norms, harmful cultural practices and legal/policy gaps. These form a strong basis for strategic choices by all countries to help improve programmes and achieve better outcomes for children.
The Regional Hub supports cross-border humanitarian concerns as well as coordinates country and/or multi-country preparedness and response.
MEESAs region programme focus, therefore, aims at reaching over 37 million people, including girls, boys, children, youth and adults, in the different countries between 2019 and 2026.
