Role Purpose

• 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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
• 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.
• We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 75 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.
• Reporting to the Head of Research, this role is situated in the Monitoring, Evaluation, Research and Learning (MERL) Department. ‘Real Choices, Real Lives’ is a unique research project. It follows a cohort of girls living in nine countries1 around the world from their birth, in 2006, until they turn 18, in 2024. The study provides rich qualitative perspectives and nuanced understanding across a significant period of time and taking account of different social, cultural, economic and institutional contexts. The evidence is important not only for informing how Plan supports girls but also to develop wider recommendations for targeting gender inequality at policy and programme level – and it is the ambition of the study to strengthen evidence uptake.

Over the remaining years of the study, there will be a greater focus on
• embedding the evidence in the wider work of Plan International, not only at a global level but across regions and within countries where the study is conducted.

As such, this is an exciting time to be joining this project and contributing to its future direction with an ultimate view to supporting greater impact through research uptake activities.
