Project Manager- Y Moves

(Based at the Bangladesh Country Office)

All over the world girls are at risk because of their young age and their gender. They are at risk of being denied the opportunity to access a secondary education, to gain the skills and training they need to work and to exercise control over their sexual and reproductive health. They are at risk of being married before the age of 18. They are at risk of violence and harassment from men and boys in every space they occupy, including their home, their school, their refugee camp and their city.

Our organization is transforming itself to meet the enormous challenge everywhere that we work. We need bold, forward-thinking and innovative individuals in our team, driving change and delivering results that will allow us to reach our target of 100 million girls. With this backdrop, Plan International Bangladesh (PIB) has set the vision for 2030 as, ‘We will partner to empower girls and young women, to be heard, to live without fear of violence and to achieve their rights’. This change will enable us to deliver successfully on our global ambitions and significantly impact children’s rights and gender equality in Bangladesh.

The role

The project is based on the premise that adult civil society actors in Bangladesh need to work in partnership with young peoples’ organizations/platforms to effectively influence government stakeholders to implement policies and programmes that cater to the needs of young people on issues of SRHR and protection from SGBV. At the same time, by gaining capacities to influence decision-makers through collective actions, these civil society actors including the young people’s organizations and platforms themselves will become a stronger voice and key drivers of change in promoting SRHR and the protection rights of young people.

This project will deal with around 5 million US dollars for 5 years’ time. High-level influencing at the national and local level, especially about Child Rights and SDGs; as well as a key skill set to facilitate youth-led movement in girls’ rights, is required. The project outcome will depend on effective leadership to strengthen civil society organizations (16 in 64 districts), especially youth-led organizations to influence SRHR and GBV. The position holder will report to the Head of Coastal Region & National Programme and work closely with technical leads and connect through matrix relations.
