Job Description ABOUT THE PROGRAMME Future for Binti (F4B) is a 5-year programme in partnership with Plan International and select Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) that will be implemented in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia.
Practices like female genital cutting and child marriage harm hundreds of millions of girls and women worldwide, violating their rights and limiting their health and future.
In East Africa - especially Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia - these practices remain common because of deep-rooted traditions, poverty, and weak laws, made worse by gender inequality and crises like conflict and climate shocks.
Despite efforts to end them, progress is slow due to systemic challenges and regional differences.
To address these challenges, the Future4Binti (F4B) programme seeks to protect girls from harmful practices like female genital cutting and child marriage by challenging harmful social norms, promoting positive behaviour change, and improving care for those affected.
Its goal is to create safer communities where girls can enjoy better health and reach their full potential.
