Jobs/Roles in the ECE Community: International

One of the organizations that appealed to me is Plan Organization. Plan is a child-centered community development organization: I chose this organization because they work with children families ,local governments for the overall success and improvement of their conditions for a positive change. A position that is listed is for a Program Manager in Zambia. The individual will be responsible for driving the full development and implementation of the program, focusing on common or regional components of the program, coordinating common approaches and working closely with other staff across the four countries. The position requires Master’s Degree.

Individual must demonstrated knowledge of gender equality, sexual and reproductive health and/or girls’ rights issues and international development theory and practice, with specific wide ranging knowledge on gender issues in Southern Africa, focusing on the impact of child marriages and related gender issues. Demonstrate knowledge and experience of donors with an interest in gender issues and/or the Southern Africa region including knowledge of donor requirements in relation to concept development, proposal writing and implementation planning.

The second organization is Child Empowerment International which works to reduce the cycle of poverty in areas of civil unrest through empowering and educating marginalized children. This organization did not have a job posting however they did have opportunities in which an individual could intern, donate, and sponsor children.
Third organization is UNICEF-is the leading advocate for children’s rights, active in more than 190 countries and territories through country programs and National Co
mmittees. I chose them because they not only focus and assist children and families in the United States but all over the world and offer a multitude of services from health, education, nutrition, child protection. They also support children with disabilities. Parent support is also important and UNICEF as they offer life skills to help the development of parents as well. There is a position in Egypt in Management. The position requires a Master’s Degree with experience working in non- profit organization’s for a minimum of three years and willing to travel to other countries to monitor the other locations.
