We
create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts, and answering questions
about health, nutrition, education, relationships and so much more. And
we use innovative technology so we can reach girls at scale. We arm
girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is
possible, so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her
health, her learning and livelihood.
When a girl unlocks her
power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others
to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, her
community, her country. That’s the Girl Effect.
Context of the role
About Technology Enabled Girl Ambassadors (TEGA)
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 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!
