Girl Effect Video Production Agency Jobs in Kenya
BackgroundWith the support of MSD for Mothers, Girl Effect is designing, launching, and implementing an 18-month project to develop a new digital product or products that will help connect young women in Kenya to sexual and reproductive health services and products (oral contraception, IUDs, implants, consultations with gynecologist and more.
Digital technologies have opened up new ways for women to access these products and services online. However, there are still too many barriers that prevent young women from taking advantage of these options.
Girl Effect is bringing together young women, service providers and other key stakeholders to co-create and test prototypes and products for a new digital product or products that will work with existing platforms to expand access to healthcare across Kenya.
Girl Effect has embarked on an 18-month co-creation project to create a minimum viable product (MVP) that is truly responsive to adolescent girls’ SRH needs. This co-design process will draw on girls’ lived experience, particularly that of accessing SRH services and products, and their own creativity and determination.
The process will also equip the girls with the skills and tools needed to take a seat at the table with donors, providers, and tech experts to build the tools and services they want.
