Who We Are
Girl Effect is an international non-profit that builds media that girls want, trust and need. From chatbots to chat shows and TV dramas to tech, our content helps adolescent girls in Africa and Asia make choices and changes in their lives. We create safe spaces for girls, sharing facts and answering questions about health, nutrition, education, and relationships, empowering girls with the skills to negotiate and redefine what they are told is possible “for a girl”.
Our reach is 50 million and counting. And we’re using technology to reach girls at scale so every girl can choose to be in control of her body, her health, her learning and her livelihood.
Because 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, community, and country.
That’s the Girl Effect.


Girl Effect in Nigeria
Girl Effect’s goal is to inspire over 10 million girls and young women in Nigeria to defy gender norms and take control of their futures. Girl Effect has been piloting different approaches to change in Nigeria for the last ten years.
In 2014, we developed a mobile platform that trains young women to become technology-enabled girl ambassadors to conduct peer-to-peer research in some of the hardest-to-reach communities in Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, and Kano states.
In 2021, we partnered with Meta to use Instagram and Facebook to deliver social behaviour change communication campaigns designed to tackle myths around Covid and the Covid vaccine, working with influencers like Taaooma and Kate Henshaw to break through the clutter to reach more than 9m people.
Our aim over the next few years is to reach youth in Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo, Kaduna, and Delta states in Nigeria, creating sustainable impact at scale and building scalable and long-lasting impact for girls and their communities in Nigeria.


What You’ll Do
Girl Effect Nigeria is in the process of identifying Creative individuals who will support and shape the production and growth of our content in Nigeria over the next two years. To support our current and future programming at Girl Effect Nigeria, we need to be agile in collaborating with multiple experts who can use our expertise in social and behavior change communication as a springboard for creating compelling and engaging content for young audiences.
