Girl Effect Programme Lead – Technology Enabled Girl Ambassadors (TEGA) Jobs in Ethiopia

Context of the role

Adolescent girls are one of the hardest groups to reach in societies.

The challenges they face are often under-reported or described on their behalf. Without the inclusion of their perspective, solutions designed to support them aren’t as effective as they could be.

Co-created with girls, TEGA (Technology Enabled Girl Ambassadors) is Girl Effect's mobile-based research tool, that allows girls to collect real-time insights into the lives of their peers. This unique approach unlocks the open and honest conversations that might otherwise be lost or not included in traditional research.

TEGA networks have gathered data from girls and communities on topics including nutrition, economic empowerment, health and wellbeing, vaccines, mobile access, social media and education.

This girl-talk method is especially useful when researching sensitive topics like HIV or sexual health.

TEGA piloted its first network in 2014, shortly after proving the concept through the pilot we went through a period of rapid growth and we are now focused on delivering crucial insights for Girl Effect’s programming work.

We have detailed TEGA project management guides and processes in place, this role will need to lead on thinking with regards to any updates required to the TEGA guides and processes and will be pivotal to determining future ambitions for TEGA.

This role will require someone with strong management and strategic thinking skills as they will be representing TEGA in Senior level discussions.

It will also require someone to think creatively about the longer-term strategy for TEGA whilst also supporting a team on implementing TEGA projects, we are therefore looking for a real doer and a thinker!
