Basic Site Positioning

plan-norge.no is the official website of the Norwegian national branch of Plan International, an independent international non-profit charity organization. Its core missions are advancing children's rights and achieving gender equality, with a consistent priority placed on girls' rights and interests. The organization currently runs projects in more than 80 countries worldwide, covering areas including humanitarian crisis response, child protection, girls' education, sexual and reproductive health rights, and youth economic empowerment.

Core Work and Operating Model

The organization's funding comes from private donations, Norwegian government agencies, the United Nations, the European Union, and corporate partners. It currently offers one-time and recurring monthly donation options to the Norwegian public, where donors can set custom donation amounts, and all funds go directly to children's rights projects around the world. The website details its work across all focus areas: providing life-saving aid including food, shelter, and medical care to children during crises, establishing safe child-friendly spaces to deliver psychological support; advocating for national legislation to ban child marriage, gender-based violence, and female genital mutilation; ensuring vulnerable children have access to free, high-quality education; spreading sexual health education and advancing girls' bodily autonomy; providing vocational training for young women to help them earn a steady income and achieve economic independence.

Pros and Cons

• It publishes regular project outcome updates and brings in third-party organizations to evaluate project impact, so it has high transparency

Cons
