Monitoring Learning and Results Specialist Vacancy in Abuja at Girl Effect
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.
