Description de l’offre Business Development Manager CRS Date: 03-Dec-2020 Location: WACA, Benin 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 is 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. BACKGRIUND The Central Sahel Region has suffered decades of violent conflict and climate change and has deteriorated further since 2016. The region has subsequently become one of the largest humanitarian crises worldwide with 13.4 million people in the three countries (one person in five) now needing lifesaving assistance and protection; amongst whom are 7.4 million food insecure people (phase 3+), 888,000 severely malnourished children, 1.6 million internally displaced people (IDPs), and 291.000 refugees[1]. Donor interest is slowly increasing with an inter-ministerial pledging conference to have acted as a trigger for the larger institutional donors to make funding available thus a crucial opportunity to kick-start effective and concrete efforts to better protect populations affected by conflict especially women and girls and bring an end to the violence. Women and girls of the Central Sahel experience some of the highest rates of recorded Gender-based violence in the world[2]. 76% of women and girls in Niger are married before the age of 18; Burkina Faso and Mali are also in the top 6 countries in terms of prevalence of child, early and forced marriage. In Burkina Faso, female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage have both increased with rising physical and food insecurity. In Mali, 1,443 cases of sexual violence were reported between January and August 2020, of which 13% were committed by armed groups. While evidence is currently limited, surveys have shown that across the Sahel, intimate partner violence (IPV), the most common form of GBV, has increased on average by almost 12% due to COVID-19, with child marriage, FGM, sexual exploitation and abuse, and trafficking also noted by experts as likely rising in the region because of the pandemic. This violence causes immediate harm and has intergenerational impacts; for instance, between January and August 2020, the GBV Sub Cluster in Mali reported nearly 100 children born as a result of rape. Against this backdrop, Plan International is scaling up its responses in the three countries of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger with a view maximize impact at scale for target communities.
