Ethiopia - Agriculture, Coffee, Trade: Under Haile Selassie I (reigned 1930–74), Ethiopia’s economy enjoyed a modicum of free enterprise. The production and export of cash crops such as coffee were advanced, and import-substituting manufactures such as textiles and footwear were established. Especially after World War II, tourism, banking, insurance, and transport began to contribute more to the national economy. The communist Derg regime, which ruled from 1974 to 1991, nationalized all means of production, including land, housing, farms, and industry. Faced with uncertainties on their land rights, the smallholding subsistence farmers who form the backbone of Ethiopian agriculture became reluctant to risk producing surplus foods

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Girl Effect Country: Ethiopia Organization: Girl Effect Closing date: 8 May 2024 Who We Are Girl Effect is an international non-profit organization 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. What We Do Yegna, Girl Effect’s branded multi-media platform established in Ethiopia in 2014, focuses on empowering adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) through fun, factual, and fictional content that uses role-modeling and storytelling to inspire them to think and behave differently. Meaning “Ours” in Amharic, Yegna brings young people together to overcome life’s challenges and realize their ambitions. Our platform comprises a national TV drama, music, digital and social media channels, and club activities. All our content is research-driven and co-designed with our audience. Testing, tracking and learning are critical to our design process. We aim for our content to be authentic, relevant, relatable to our audiences, and as engaging as possible. The Scope Girl Effect Ethiopia is in the process of identifying Creative and production Partners who will support and shape the production and growth of our content in Ethiopia over the next two years. To support our current and future programming at Girl Effect Ethiopia, 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. Over the next two years, Girl Effect aims to generate innovative and scalable digital campaigns and conversations to support adolescent girls and young mothers during a period of unprecedented global upheaval. These campaigns will leverage and supplement the growing momentum and conversation around ‘vaccines’ in the wake of COVID-19 by engaging and empowering adolescent girls and young mothers with communication to tackle internal barriers to HPV vaccine confidence and myth resistance, and build them up to become enthusiastic adopters and ambassadors of HPV vaccine.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Girl Effect Country: Ethiopia Organization: Girl Effect Closing date: 8 May 2024 Who We Are Girl Effect is an international non-profit organization 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. What We Do Yegna, Girl Effect’s branded multi-media platform established in Ethiopia in 2014, focuses on empowering adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) through fun, factual, and fictional content that uses role-modeling and storytelling to inspire them to think and behave differently. Meaning “Ours” in Amharic, Yegna brings young people together to overcome life’s challenges and realize their ambitions. Our platform comprises a national TV drama, music, digital and social media channels, and club activities. All our content is research-driven and co-designed with our audience. Testing, tracking and learning are critical to our design process. We aim for our content to be authentic, relevant, relatable to our audiences, and as engaging as possible. The Scope Girl Effect Ethiopia is in the process of identifying Creative and production Partners who will support and shape the production and growth of our content in Ethiopia over the next two years. To support our current and future programming at Girl Effect Ethiopia, 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. Over the next two years, Girl Effect aims to generate innovative and scalable digital campaigns and conversations to support adolescent girls and young mothers during a period of unprecedented global upheaval. These campaigns will leverage and supplement the growing momentum and conversation around ‘vaccines’ in the wake of COVID-19 by engaging and empowering adolescent girls and young mothers with communication to tackle internal barriers to HPV vaccine confidence and myth resistance, and build them up to become enthusiastic adopters and ambassadors of HPV vaccine.
