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.

ABOUT THE ROLE AND ABOUT YOU

In Kenya, Future4Binti will be implemented in Garissa, Kajiado, Mandera, Marsabit, Migori, Narok, Samburu, Tana River, Wajir, and West Pokot regions. These ten counties were selected based on their high rates of HP and persistent challenges in addressing them. Recognising the porous borders and cross-border mobility of the target populations, Future4Binti will also work in border regions, including parts of Somalia, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Additionally, to transform pregnancy outcomes for hard-to-reach young women, we will accelerate the rollout of the Dutch Combination Strategy (Combi Track) by partnering with Kisumu and Homa Bay counties.

Under the supervision of the Technical Officer, the County Implementation Officer is responsible for the day-to-day field implementation of the Future4Binti Programme in the selected counties. They serve as the primary point of contact for community structures, sub-granted partners, and local government. The role ensures that interventions are culturally relevant, survivor-centred, technically sound, and effectively reach the target populations in the assigned counties. A lived experience of the implementation counties is required to ensure deep cultural context and trust.

You are an experienced community-based practitioner with a strong understanding of SRHR and harmful practices programming, and lived experience of the implementation counties that enables cultural sensitivity and community trust. You have a proven ability to work effectively with community structures, sub‑granted partners, and county government stakeholders, ensuring survivor‑centred and high‑quality programme delivery.

You are organised, proactive, and able to manage multiple activities in challenging environments, with a strong commitment to safeguarding, accountability, and ethical programming. You are motivated by improving outcomes for hard‑to‑reach girls and young women and contributing to the successful implementation of the Future4Binti Programme.
