Plan International Australia

Plan International Australia (PIA) is an international non-governmental organization with a mission to advance child rights, gender equality and climate-resilient development. PIA works across Southeast Asia, the Pacific, South Asia, eastern Africa and the Middle East supported by the wider Plan International federation. PIA partners with governments, civil society organizations and community-based institutions and has managed grants for bilateral and multilateral development partners.

PIA's climate portfolio emphasizes locally led adaptation, climate-resilient livelihoods, ecosystem-based solutions, disaster-risk governance and climate finance readiness. PIA’s programmes include climate-smart agriculture, water security, water, sanitation and hygiene, disaster-risk reduction and nature-based solutions, placing girls, women and youth at the center of resilience planning. 

PIA's community partnerships and gender-transformative approach are expected to strengthen GCF’s capacity to deliver inclusive adaptation results in least developed countries and small island developing States. Building on PIA’s community partnerships and programme experience, PIA seeks to advance resilience across health, food and water security, livelihoods and ecosystems while supporting national and local institutions.
