Plan International began operating in Somalia in 2019.
Our work focuses on promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment within our protection and humanitarian response programmes.
We are a vocal advocate for girls’ rights, specifically on child marriage and female gender mutilation.
We are currently implementing programmes in Waqooyi Galbeedi, Sool, Sanaag and Togdheer regions.
Our priorities include:
- Increasing access to quality, gender-responsive protection systems for children and their families.
- Advocating for gender equality and girls’ rights with the government and civil society.
- Responding to large scale displacement, outbreaks of disease and disaster risks such as droughts, floods and cyclones.
