Consultant(s) to conduct (1) Data collection for Baseline in Lai Chau and (2) Midterm assessment in Quang Tri

1. Introduction:

Founded in 1937, Plan International is a development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We strive to advance children’s rights and equality for girls all over the world. As an independent development and humanitarian organisation, we work alongside children, young people, our supporters and partners to tackle the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and 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. For over 80 years we have been building powerful partnerships for children, and we are active in over 75 countries.

Plan International has been working in Vietnam since 1993. Our work supports marginalized children and youth, especially adolescent girls, to start life and grow up physically and mentally healthy and as adolescents so they are leading the way to shape their own future. Our goal by 2026 is to reach 2 million girls from 1,875 ethnic communities in Vietnam so they can learn, lead, decide, and thrive.

Plan International Vietnam (PIV), with support from DGD and Plan International Belgium (PIB), is working with partners to implement the 5-year programme in Quang Tri (2022 – 2026) and Lai Chau provinces (2024-2026), namely DGD program 2022 - 2026, with the total budget of about 1.8 million euro. Currently, its key partners are Quang Tri Women’s Union. For the program component in Lai Chau, PIV is in the process of discussing with Lai Chau Women Union to implement the project in 03 years, expected to start from May 2024 till December 2026.

The outcome of the entire programme (both in Quang Tri and Lai Chau) is for adolescent and young people, especially ethnic minority adolescent girls and young women (11-24), to be economically and socially empowered to learn and thrive in a protective environment and live free from violence including in school and professional environment.
