We are part of the global Plan International Federation and we contribute to the Global Strategy 2017-2022 – 100 Million Reasons. This strategy informs our actions: together, we are taking action so 100 million girls can Learn, Lead, Decide and Thrive.
However, we are also an independent entity that is responsible for developing and delivering our own strategy. In 2021, Plan International Ireland embarked upon a journey to develop a new strategy that is taking us from 2021 to 2025.
Our new strategy was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic; a challenging time for everyone, but disproportionately so for girls in some of the most disadvantaged areas of the world.
As we move through the pandemic and envision a world on the other side of this global emergency, girls will be a core focus of our work. The majority of our programmes will remain concentrated in the West African and Sahel region, and we will work with girls and their communities to recover and build resilience in the wake of the pandemic.
Through our work, 1.5 million people, especially girls, will be supported to Learn, Lead, Decide, Survive and Thrive in all areas of their lives.
