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.

The position involves overseeing

the execution of WASH activities, including infrastructure construction, hygiene promotion, and the distribution of hygiene kits. It ensures the engagement of stakeholders and project beneficiaries, compliance with SMoH/UNICEF guidelines, and the consistent application of Plan International's policies during all project phases. The role includes data collection, assessments, and contributing to monitoring and evaluation to track project performance, as well as risk and issue management to safeguard children and ensure a gender-sensitive approach.

Essential criteria for this role include

a bachelor’s degree in Public Health, Water Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field, along with a minimum of three years of field experience in WASH, two of which should be in a similar position. The ideal candidate should be proficient in English and Arabic, possess excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and have experience working with international development or humanitarian NGOs. Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills are also essential, as well as the ability to work under pressure and adapt to a challenging, multicultural environment.

Do you have what it takes?

If you can manage complex WASH projects, work effectively with diverse teams, and demonstrate leadership in fostering positive changes in community health and hygiene practices, this position is perfect for you. Your capability to coordinate multiple stakeholders and ensure quality, timely implementation will be key to the success of Plan International’s mission to improve the well-being of children and communities in Eastern Sudan.
