Girl Effect Graphic Designer (Individual Consultant) Jobs in Nigeria
Girl Effect in Nigeria
Girl effect’s goal is to inspire over 10 million girls and young women in Nigeria to defy gender norms and take control of their futures. Girl Effect has been piloting different approaches to change in Nigeria for the last ten years.
In 2014, we developed a mobile platform that trains young women to become technology-enabled girl ambassadors to conduct peer-to-peer research in some of the hardest-to-reach communities in Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and Kano states. In 2014, we launched a zero-rated online mobile platform—available on the web and social media—called Springster. Providing entertaining content written by girls, for girls, Springster gave users access to an a-z of everything they needed to know to thrive — in English and Hausa. We learned we can use digital channels to engage girls at scale in Nigeria and that there’s a real thirst for honest, authentic content related to topics that girls are too scared to talk to their friends and family about.
In 2021, we partnered with Meta to use Instagram and Facebook to deliver social behaviour change communication campaigns designed to tackle myths around Covid and the Covid vaccine, working with influencers like Taaooma and Kate Henshaw to break through the clutter to reach more than 9m people.
Our aim over the next few years is to launch a youth brand in Nigeria, creating sustainable impact at scale and build scalable and long-lasting impact for girls and their communities in Nigeria.
