Deputy Country Director - Operations - Burkina Faso

Location: Ougadougou, 03, BF
Company: Plan International

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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s 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 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

The Opportunity
The current Country Strategic Plan (CSP) for PLAN International Burkina Faso has been approved for the period 2018-2023. It has a country annual budget turnover of near 19 million Euros, a team of 171 staff, a caseload of 52,000 sponsored children and a large grants portfolio from bilateral and multilateral donors including CIDA, KOIKA, European Union, GAC, etc.

The Deputy CD-OP is responsible for leading, managing and developing a team of functional experts, including finance, administration & logistics, ICT, legal and risk management, to support the delivery of quality and integrated programming in line with the organizational standards, frameworks and procedures. Since January 2019 Plan International Burkina Faso is managing a level 2 Emergency Response.

The Deputy CD-OP is managed directly by the Country Director and will at times be required to take on the responsibilities of the Country Director position in their absence.
