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.

Our Approach

Girl Effect uses a branded media approach towards delivering behavioural change messaging. 

We reach girls across the world, where they are -online and offline,  to support them at the critical moments in life when choices around their health, education, and economic future need to be made. 

We use our expertise in behaviour change science to motivate and equip girls with information and support to help them see a different future for themselves, act on those choices, and drive greater demand for the opportunities and services available to them. 

Girl Effect builds youth brands that girls love and trust, reaching girls where they are and creating change. Chhaa Jaa in India, Tujibebe in Tanzania, Yegna in Ethiopia, Ni Nyampinga in Rwanda - these are some of our youth brands. They exist across multiple channels - digital ( Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, WhatsApp), TV, radio, print, and offline. Together, these brands reach over 50 million girls worldwide.

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 2014, we launched a zero-rated online mobile platform available on the web and social media called Springster. Providing entertaining content written by girls, for girls, Springster gave users access to an A-Z of everything they needed to know to thrive in English and Hausa. We learned we can use digital channels to engage girls at scale in Nigeria and that there’s a real thirst for honest, authentic content related to topics that girls are too scared to talk to their friends and family about.

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-19 vaccine, working with influencers like Taaooma and Kate Henshaw to break through the clutter to reach more than 9 million people.

 In 2025, we successfully developed and launched two significant campaigns: Oya (HPV), which focused on increasing HPV vaccine uptake among 9-year-old girls in Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo, Delta, and Kaduna states, and Saabi (SRHS), which aimed to boost Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) uptake among young couples aged 18–24 years. Both initiatives effectively leveraged a comprehensive strategy,  including grassroots implementation, community outreaches, the Champions program, and the strategic use of social media and relevant tools to successfully reach and make a significant impact on our target audiences.

About the New Program - Kano State

Girl Effect Nigeria is deploying a new program in Kano state, the CIFF ECM project. The objective of this program is to sustainably reduce child marriage in Rimin Gado LGA by shifting harmful social norms, expanding girls’ access to education, strengthening protection systems, and increasing economic resilience for girls and their families, through a government-led, community-owned model.

TOR Objective 

Girl Effect seeks to engage a qualified curriculum development consultant to design age-appropriate, culturally relevant, gender-responsive, and safeguarding-informed Life Skills and “My Future First” curricula for in-school and out-of-school adolescent girls in Rimin Gado LGA, Kano State. The curricula should equip girls with practical life skills, personal development competencies, educational support tools, and future-oriented mindsets that contribute to increased resilience, confidence, school retention, safety, and informed decision-making. 

Target Group

• In-school  and out-of-school adolescent girls  (9 - 17-year-olds)

Their involvement will enhance cultural relevance and contextual understanding, engagement, participation, and strengthen the sustainability of the program.

About Sand

Sand Technologies is a global Physical AI company using data and AI to make critical industries work better. We partner with governments, cities and enterprises to improve how essential systems operate across healthcare, water, energy, telecommunications and infrastructure.

Our work delivers proven real-world impact. We have built AI systems that help manage London’s water supply, supported telecom network planning across hundreds of cities, and developed digital healthcare platforms serving tens of millions of people across Africa. From intelligent command centers to AI-powered infrastructure platforms, we help organizations sense, analyze and act in complex environments.

Our people are ambitious, curious and relentlessly practical. Our teams work alongside clients in the field, solving hard problems and deploying solutions that last. With colleagues across Africa, Europe, the UK and the US, we operate across the full stack - from research and engineering to deployment and capability building.

Our mission is simple: to harness AI to solve humanity’s most pressing challenges.

About the role

Sand is expanding across Africa and beyond, partnering with governments and public sector officials to deliver transformative AI and data solutions. We have deployed our flagship platform - the Health Operating System (HOS) - in more than 5 countries already. 

In Rwanda, hundreds of clinics have already been digitized, transforming rural facilities into next-generation health centers that are redefining care in Africa. Sand’s groundbreaking HOS integrates data and services to drive better outcomes - from maternal health to chronic disease management - already reaching more than 1 million patients. Designed for digital empowerment, the HOS equips thousands of frontline health workers with the tools and support they need to magnify their impact and strengthen community health.

The HOS is already operational across multiple countries, with plans to expand to 16 countries by the end of 2026, led by our Country Directors. 

This is not an idea — it’s already happening, and the momentum is accelerating. But healthcare is only one example; Sand is growing in various industries, namely water, energy, and telecommunications.

But healthcare is only one example. As Country Director, you will serve as Sand’s senior representative in the country, overseeing all operations and partnerships. You will engage at the highest levels of government, align Sand’s solutions with national priorities, and ensure the successful adoption and sustainability of our products—whether in healthcare, water, energy, telecommunications, or other sectors where Sand operates.

This role requires a leader who can build trust, navigate complex stakeholder environments, and position Sand as a long-term partner to governments in delivering innovation that drives impact at scale.

Specific Responsibilities

• Government & Public Sector Engagement: Serve as Sand’s primary liaison to government ministries, agencies, and public sector institutions, building trusted relationships that enable successful product adoption.
• Policy & Strategic Alignment: Ensure Sand’s solutions are designed and implemented in alignment with national strategies, sector policies, and long-term government priorities.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Convene and coordinate across ministries, development partners, regulators, and other actors to create an enabling environment for Sand’s solutions.
• Product Implementation Support: Oversee the in-country adoption of Sand’s products, ensuring smooth integration with existing systems and long-term sustainability.
• Change Management: Lead strategies to prepare institutions, government teams, and local stakeholders for new ways of working enabled by Sand’s solutions.
• Strategic Leadership: Represent Sand at the highest levels, shaping national conversations on digital transformation, AI, and innovation, while positioning Sand as a trusted partner for solving public sector challenges.
• Risk & Issue Management: Anticipate and address political, operational, or partnership risks that could affect successful delivery or sustainability.

Requirements - Essential

• Advanced degree in Digital Innovation, Information Systems, Public Policy, International Development, Business Administration, or a related field, with strong grounding in technology and systems.
• 10+ years of leadership experience working with governments and public sector stakeholders, ideally across technology, public services, or large-scale system transformation.
• Proven track record of navigating complex multi-stakeholder ecosystems and driving adoption of new products or systems at scale.
• Strong understanding of governance systems in Africa and/or comparable contexts.
• Demonstrated ability to lead change management in technology-driven or public sector environments.
• Excellent diplomatic, negotiation, and high-level relationship management skills.
• Experience in one or more of Sand’s core industries - such as healthcare, water, energy, or telecommunications - is a strong plus.
• Must be based or willing to work in Nigeria.

Work Environment

This is a hybrid role with significant in-person requirements. While some responsibilities can be performed remotely, the role demands regular presence on the ground to build relationships, oversee implementation, and represent Sand with local stakeholders. At the same time, given the high degree of virtual collaboration with colleagues and partners across multiple geographies, the successful candidate must be highly self-driven, comfortable working in small in-person teams while contributing to larger efforts virtually, and disciplined in using online collaboration tools and video conferencing to maintain constant communication.

Due to the considerable amount of virtual work and interaction with colleagues and customers in different physical locations internationally, it is essential that the successful applicant has the drive and ethic to succeed in working in small teams physically but in larger efforts virtually. Self-drive to communicate constantly using online collaboration and video conferencing is essential.
