Background on Be That Girl foundation
Established in 2021 by Cornelia Gantner, Be That Girl aims to help girls and women lead self-determined lives, guided by their aspirations and priorities and supported by their communities and governments in fulfilling their potential. 

All over the world, millions of women still see their trajectories thwarted by poverty, restrictive gender norms and violations of their rights, such as early marriage and gender-based violence, that clip their wings and sacrifice their enormous promise.

Support BTG’s partners in monitoring and evaluating the impact of the joint projects with BTG. This may include:

· Regularly visit BTG’s partners in Sub-Saharan Africa (based, so far, in Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Zambia) to monitor progress with BTG-funded projects. 
· Be the partners’ trusted advisor on all challenges they encounter with running BTG programmes. This requires establishing excellent working relationships with all stakeholders involved in BTG programmes (NGO staff, mentors, teachers, local government representatives..)
· Help BTG partners continuously improve annual proposals and reporting in line with BTG requirements. 

3. Strategy and reporting: 
· Formulate recommendations to partners and BTG’s CEO and board to improve project delivery, impact and potential scaling.
· Support BTG’s CEO in the preparation of key annual outputs assessing the foundation’s impact, such as the annual report (see 2023 report here), as well as monthly board meetings.
