TUI Academy Dominican Republic 3 SUMMARY. In the Dominican Republic, youth, and young women in particular, are denied the chance to go to school and gain access to a decent job. Tourism and Hospitality (T&H) is an important sector with many job opportunities. The TUI Academy is created by TUI Care Foundation and Plan International to ensure 150 youths (aged 18-29, at least 60% female) at risk of Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE) in La Altagracia, Dominican Republic, are socially and economically empowered by June 2025. The TUI Academy offers them vocational skills training based on the demands from the T&H market, life skills training which includes communicating in English, and an internship at a resort or hotel that is owned/contracted by TUI. The project aims to ensure these youths can protect themselves from CSE and increases their opportunities for obtaining decent work in the T&H sector.
FOA Mozambique IDAI Cyclone response 2019 SUMMARY
Tropical Cyclone Idai has caused widespread destruction and loss of life across Mozambique. As the death toll continues to rise, over 260,000 children have been affected in the country and at least 350,000 people are at risk from rising flood waters in 2019.  As an emergency response Plan International distributes blankets, dignity kits and utensils to affected families, as well as mosquito nets and water purification tablets. We are mobilising child protection teams to  prevent gender-based violence by raising awareness among communities of the risks for girls and young women and by providing training to ensure that any incidents are quickly reported to the authorities. As a child rights organisation with a strong focus on gender equality, our primary concern is the safety, security and needs of children, especially girls and young women – including expectant and breastfeeding mothers. Our team will work to ensure that these distinct needs are taken into account and met.

3-Country research study to end child, early and forced marriage in humanitarian settings SUMMARY
Child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) are harmful practices perpetuated by gender discrimination and violations of human rights. These practices disproportionately affect girls and women, curtailing their education, violating their sexual and reproductive health and rights, limiting their autonomy and opportunities for economic, political and social participation, as well as placing them at increased risk of further violence. Gains previously made during times of relative stability regress as families see CEFM as a way to cope with greater economic hardship and as a means to protect girls from increasing instability and violence. Child marriage is a cross-cutting issue requiring coordination from the earliest stage of a crisis. As of October 2019 Plan International and the Women’s Refugee Commission conduct a girl-led community-grounded research in three emergency responses in Ethiopia, the Philippines and Zimbabwe; to build an evidence based program model for intervention.
Sudan - ACJR 2023 Program (Joint Budget) SUMMARY
In addition to the project to be implemented by Plan together with FCDO and ASSIST (SDN100401), Plan will lead the entire consortium of 6 INGOs and their local partners. To do this, a Joint Budget has been reserved to spend both on joint activities and on the overall management of the grant. The Joint Budget is set aside to facilitate regional meetings, joint activities, travel and communication costs, real time review and the salary of the Sudan Acute Joint Response in-country Coordinator. The budget is managed by Plan International in its role as Sudan ACJR lead. Also, Plan Sudan will share this lead with FCDO and will provide capacity building to make this possible. Sudan is facing an unprecedented crisis. The sudden outbreak of armed conflict has proven to be disastrous in a country already facing a major humanitarian crisis. Over 24 million people now need urgent humanitarian assistance, both in areas facing humanitarian crises for many years and in areas that until recently were less affected. Millions of people have been displaced, forced to leave their homes, with many more facing hunger and the threat of disease. Fleeing populations of women, children, and families urgently need shelter, protection, food, water, medical care, and psychosocial support. Girls, young women, and unaccompanied children in particular face major protection risks and require direct assistance.

The organisations united by the Dutch Relief Alliance and its Sudanese partners are responding through a multisectoral intervention that aims to provide immediate relief to the most acute needs. The intervention focuses in particular on protection services required to ensure the populations’ safety from violence and abuse as well as food assistance, water and sanitation, and direct cash support.
TUI Academy Thailand. Protection and economic empowerment of youth in tourism in Thailand SUMMARY.

Plan International will be cooperating closely with Robinson Club resort in Khao Lak to offer disadvantaged youth with vocational training, life skills training, internship and a chance at decent work in the Robinson resort (or other comparable employers). The target will be 150 enrolled (at least 135 graduating, at least 120 in jobs) disadvantaged youth at risk of exploitation who are currently unable to access formal, decent employment due to lack of skills and opportunities.
Youth Building the Future in Latin America - Program SUMMARY 
In January 2015 Plan International started “Youth Building the Future” programme aimed to equip young people with the skills and opportunities to engage in employment and entrepreneurship in targeted regions in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador. In 3 years, disadvantaged youth completed life skills, market-driven vocational/technical and business trainings. 60% of them entered decent employment - either in a job or by establishing/strengthening their own enterprise. This ensured future economic security for themselves and their families. The programme is supported by Plan’s Regional Office of the Americas (ROA) through technical assistance, evidence gathering support and (academic) research coordination. With youth in Latin America accounting for nearly one third of the population, they should be a major driver of regional economic growth. However, decent job opportunities remain inaccessible for large numbers of young underprivileged people, maintaining the cycle of poverty. The most important obstacles for inserting these youth into the labour market are their lack of professional qualifications and the requirement of prior experience. Young women face additional hurdles such as persistent gender stereotypes, discriminatory practices and adolescent pregnancy. Social instable  situations in the target areas in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador are characterized by armed conflict, social and gender-based violence, displacement, over-population, lack of formal jobs and weak local economies. This context limits business and entrepreneurial opportunities, fuelling many youth to engage in illicit activities. The project consists of three components that mutually reinforce each other: 
Component 1: Private Sector Engagement and Youth Employment Enabler Networks: consists of the creation of shared value implementation approaches and partnerships (so called Smart Business Alliance) with the private sector, government authorities, training partners and community-based organizations. 
Component 2: Training, Placement & Start-up: recruitment of participants, followed by skills training (both for job placement and entrepreneurship), mentoring and follow-up support. 
Component 3: Research and Evidence Gathering: enables further up-scaling and replication in the Latin American region of Youth Empowerment Solutions (YES) programs post this 3 year project. Plan will gather evidence for best practices in YES overall, and in entrepreneurship programming in particular.  The program has been proposed for evaluation as a pilot to demonstrate the “Link, Leverage and Learn” principles in the emerging Solutions for Youth Employment (S4YE) Coalition, an initiative founded by the World Bank, in partnership with Plan International..

Burkina Faso JR 2021 Program (parent) SUMMARY: In response to the humanitarian situation, Plan International, in collaboration with the Dutch Relief Alliance funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, leads the Burkina Faso JR. The past two years have seen a sharp deterioration in the security situation across Burkina Faso’s northern and eastern regions (large parts of the East, Central North, North, Sahel and Boucle du Mouhoun regions) due to the presence of non-state armed groups – many with cross-border ties to extremists groups or movements in neighboring Mali and Niger (OCHA Situation Report, November 2021). Armed violence has caused massive population displacements, while civilians are increasingly targeted. A state of emergency remains in 14 out of the 45 provinces. FEWS NET (October 2021) reports that the third quarter of 2021 saw the number of security incidents in the north and east more than double compared to the same period in 2020 (Figure 1). The number of security incidents links up with the increasing number of people in need and/or food insecure. Recent REACH monitoring confirms that insecurity (presence of armed groups / community tensions) remained the main push factor that forced IDPs to flee their home locality. The security incidents clearly are the trigger for people to leave their homes and result in a steadily increasing number of displaced. The overarching objective of the JR is to provide 104.851 affected people with life-saving and life-sustaining goods and services. The DRA partners have designed their response based on needs and gaps in line with cluster recommendations, their technical expertise and complementarity with other interventions to maximize impact. The response is a multi-sector approach with holistic WASH, Health, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), and Protection programs supported by MPC. The response will contribute amongst others to the following objectives from the HRP (April, 2021):

SO1: By 2021, 1.3 million people receive emergency humanitarian assistance to reduce morbidity and mortality, alleviate suffering and strengthen the protection of civilians. 
SO2: Improved access to services for target population.
SO3: By 2021, protection needs and respect for human rights of 2 million women, men, girls, boys and people living with disabilities affected by the crisis will be ensured. This JR prioritizes IDPs fleeing conflict, especially newly displaced people. Priority is given to crisis-affected vulnerable families with pre-existing vulnerabilities before the crisis, and who have suffered human loss, loss of assets or livelihoods. Special attention will be given to displaced households in overpopulated temporary resettlement camps.
