We believe in partnership to achieve our organizational vision to advance child rights and equality for girls. At first, our partnership model aims to share the knowledge, expertise, best practices to promote learning in larger communities. We also consider the partnership as the space for learning. Working in a partnership approach helps in promoting accountability among different stakeholder towards the collective efforts in improving the quality of life of marginalized and vulnerable children, young people, particularly girls and young women.

Partnering with Communities

Our partnership model aims to equip and enable parents and communities to take on the responsibility for child centered community development working in close coordination with local self-government. Over the past 2 decades, Plan India has implemented its child centered community development programs in more than 5,500 villages and urban slums spread in more than 80 districts in different parts of India. To promote gender equality, Plan India engages with boys and men as partners to overcome gender inequality and discrimination.

Partnering with Corporate India

Corporations are a key stakeholder aligning on the developmental agenda. Plan India works with numerous corporates to work on programs that address some of the key issues that impact girls and young women with the aim of making lasting change in the lives of the most vulnerable communities, families and children. Many of these projects have worked on delivering outcomes on quality education, inclusive health and nutrition, creating a protective and secure environment, ensuring sustained livelihood opportunities and disaster resilience and response.
