Purpose:

Plan International Lebanon is seeking a Child Labour Trainer with demonstrated experience in Child Labour programming in support to Plan International’s programs in Lebanon. The Trainer’s main role is to design and conduct trainings to partners, CBOs and NGOs in Baalback and Akkar on child labour.

Background: Now entering its ninth year, the conflict in Syria continues to have a drastic impact on Syrian refugee children as well as Lebanese children living in host communities. Children continue to experience different forms of violence, abuse and exploitation in their communities. Increasing levels of poverty and lack of access to quality education among families have put an alarming number of girls and boys at risk of child labour and child marriage. Adolescents and youth have limited educational and economic opportunities and experience a sense of hopelessness and lack a future perspective. To address these risks and prevent the long-term harmful consequences on an entire generation of children, Plan International Lebanon implements an integrated child protection, education and livelihoods programme aimed to empower children and young people, in particular girls.

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 know this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood, and enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We place a specific focus on girls and young women, who are most often left behind. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for more than 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries. Plan International Lebanon was established in late 2016 and has programmes throughout the country (Beirut, Mount-Lebanon, South, North and Bekaa).
