  • 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.
    We want to create a roster of known creative individuals we have vetted and can call upon when relevant and aligned projects arise at Girl Effect Ethiopia. We would like to work with

    Copywriter- for story development and scripting for TV drama, script of radio content and content development for school program, and script writing for 60-sec PSA


    Graphic Designer- to design promotional materials for print e.g. Posters, Brochures, Flyers, and communication materials for on-ground activities


    Illustrator- to design content across a variety of media but not limited to explainer videos


    Translation Service - Translating documents from English to Somali and Amharic Language and vice versa

    If you work in the creative industry and are passionate about unlocking the power of girls, then we would like to work with you.
    We believe that building steady creative partnerships will reduce the time spent on administrative processes such as agency identification, onboarding, and due diligence, giving us all more time to focus on building great products and great content.
    How will it work?
    We do not expect one applicant to fulfill all our criteria, but we welcome applications from individuals who can help us understand how their experience, knowledge, and skills could enable us to reach our objectives around unlocking change for young people through media and tech.
    We are extending the opportunity for you to potentially join our Create roster on a retainer contract for one to two years, with agreed-upon rates. This positions you to become an integral part of the team, playing a crucial role in creating a better world for girls.

The Girl Effect team will provide a clear brief for pieces of work based on an agreed-upon template, for which the vendor will propose the number of days required for completion.

    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.
    We want to create a roster of known creative individuals we have vetted and can call upon when relevant and aligned projects arise at Girl Effect Ethiopia. We would like to work with

    Copywriter- for story development and scripting for TV drama, script of radio content and content development for school program, and script writing for 60-sec PSA


    Graphic Designer- to design promotional materials for print e.g. Posters, Brochures, Flyers, and communication materials for on-ground activities


    Illustrator- to design content across a variety of media but not limited to explainer videos


    Translation Service - Translating documents from English to Somali and Amharic Language and vice versa

    If you work in the creative industry and are passionate about unlocking the power of girls, then we would like to work with you.
    We believe that building steady creative partnerships will reduce the time spent on administrative processes such as agency identification, onboarding, and due diligence, giving us all more time to focus on building great products and great content.
    How will it work?
    We do not expect one applicant to fulfill all our criteria, but we welcome applications from individuals who can help us understand how their experience, knowledge, and skills could enable us to reach our objectives around unlocking change for young people through media and tech.
    We are extending the opportunity for you to potentially join our Create roster on a retainer contract for one to two years, with agreed-upon rates. This positions you to become an integral part of the team, playing a crucial role in creating a better world for girls.
