Hausa Speaking Consultancy Job at Girl Rising
Girl Rising is a global campaign for girls’ education that uses
storytelling; including the Girl Rising feature film, to raise
awareness about the power of educating girls to transform societies.
The
film tells the stories of nine girls from nine countries around the
world and the formidable obstacles they overcome in pursuit of an
education. Girl Rising storytelling makes the barriers that girls face
to education personal- inspiring action among viewers.
The Girl Rising ENGAGE project in Nigeria is a public-private
partnership funded by USAID, which uses the film, translated and dubbed
into Hausa, as a central communications tool. The partnership brings
together the best in public and private sector resources and know-how
toward closing the gender gaps that persist in education and securing a
better future for girls.
Job Title: Tool Development Consultant (Proficiency in Hausa)
Girl Rising is working in Nigeria to mobilize and
engage men, women, and school-aged youth through grassroots community
initiatives to take action to address barriers and social norms impeding
access to quality education for girls.
ENGAGE Nigeria will hire a consultant to work with the Girl Rising team on the tool development process.
Scope of Work:
Girl Rising materials will be translated into Hausa, the local language, for appropriate impact.
Materials To Be Used For Community Engagement And Outreach
The existing Girl Rising discussion guide and curriculum will
be used as a source for creating Nigeria specific materials suitable for
use by civil society organizations, teachers, school management and
local community. The materials will include guides and training
materials on how to use the Girl Rising Film and tools to promote
discussions and action around inclusive education aimed at gender
inclusion and gender awareness.
The materials should not be too text heavy and should be
designed so that they can easily be reprinted and disseminated again and
again.
The community engagement materials will include a facilitator's
guide to using the materials in communities and schools. This guide is
intended to help facilitators involve community members and/or children
in a progressive, meaningful manner. The guide should include:
- Discussion guides suitable for use with youth groups, parents and community groups.
- Relatable role model stories.
- Games, exercises, role pay scenarios and other tools that
exhibit creative ways to engage audiences around role model behavior and
gender sensitization.
The materials should provide a structure for “how” to use the
video materials – including pre-viewing discussion questions or
activities, viewing activities (e.g pause and discuss a particular point
where relevant etc. ) and post viewing discussion and activities. The
post viewing discussion and activities are very important as they can
lead to or should offer suggestions for positive action. For example, a
community group may decide that they want to organize and carry out an
enrollment drive, map household labor for their sons and daughters and
examine the implications for study time/homework time/exam pre/ getting
to school on time etc. The materials should not be too text heavy and
should be designed so that they can easily be reprinted and disseminated
again and again.
Required Skills and Abilities:

and engaging in broad-based advocacy will be considered a plus
- Proficiency in Hausa
