Girl Effect is an organisation working to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. We do this by investing in programmes for girls, connecting girls to each other to amplify their voices, and brokering access to the critical assets girls need. We drive behaviour change by harnessing media in innovative ways and building social networks to shift girls’ perceptions of themselves and how others value them.
When a girl is better educated, has access to sexual and reproductive healthcare information and services, has access and control of economic assets, is safe from violence and exploitation, and has the capabilities and confidence to make positive choices, she can break the cycle of poverty. That’s why we’re working to reach 250 million girls living in poverty with the tools and assets they need to achieve their full potential by 2030. We currently operate in Rwanda, Nigeria and Ethiopia with headquarters in London.
The Girl Specialists team is a core function in Girl Effect Ethiopia’s integrated strategy. The team is a leading source and driver of knowledge and expertise on adolescent girls in Ethiopia, with significant experience in innovative adolescent girls’ programming and adolescent girls’ policies. The Girl Specialist team is a core function within GEE, using this expertise and knowledge to identify gaps and opportunities to design, catalyse and broker new programmes and investments that unlock and improve outcomes for adolescent girls.
We are looking for an experienced manager with substantial technical experience in adolescent girls programming, policy and advocacy to lead this team. We are going through a period of exciting growth and change - we are hugely ambitious for our future and we are looking for colleagues who share in our ambition.
