This short report draws on the review of our programming carried out this year and summarises some of the insights from the evidence gathered. The review is quantitative – there are lots of numbers – but also qualitative, drawing on earlier research, listening to the people we work with and looking both at what has been done and at what we can learn from it.
The focus of our analysis for this report centres on six priority thematic areas, plus work responding to humanitarian emergencies. These areas are:
- early childhood development,
- inclusive, quality, education,
- sexual and reproductive health and rights,
- leadership – girls, boys and youth driving change,
- protection against violence,
- youth employment and entrepreneurship, and
- responding to immediate needs in crisis situations.
Underpinning all these is supporting girls’ rights and promoting gender equality which are key drivers of Plan International’s work across all countries and programme areas.
