About AGIP – The Coalition
The Adolescent Girls Investment Plan (AGIP) is a global, intergenerational, feminist coalition with members working with and for adolescent girls across advocacy, research, and at community level. AGIP envisions a world where girls have the voice, choice, and agency to determine their own futures, supported by holistic investment that responds to the full complexity of girls’ lives and needs. AGIP aims to drive political commitment, accountability and evidence-informed investment to create positive impact with and for adolescent girls in all their diversity.
About Akili Dada – The Hosting Organisation
Akili Dada is an African leadership incubator anchored in the ethos that girls and young women can and do lead. Akili Dada’s mission focuses on girls and women from underserved and underprivileged backgrounds, extending opportunities for access to education, leadership and networks. Akili Dada serves as the hosting organisation and the post holder may spend up to 10% of their time on activities within their hosting organisation, where relevant and appropriate.
Objectives of the Role
The consultant will be responsible for designing and implementing an internal and external communications plan that aligns with the new AGIP strategy, including devising how strategic communications and thought leadership can be leveraged for greater impact.
You will support the Secretariat, particularly the Youth Engagement and Advocacy Specialist, in delivering AGIP’s ambitious advocacy and influencing activities. This role will focus on developing creative, engaging and powerful communications and campaign pieces that hold powerholders and decision-makers to account and advance AGIP’s strategy to shift power and resources to adolescent girls.
You will be responsible for ensuring that AGIP members and affiliates are informed and updated on any recent developments, and engaged in coalition work by managing all communications channels, such as, but not limited to, regular newsletters, AGIP’s website, and social media platforms.
The role involves collaborating with coalition members (current and prospective) as well as diverse global partners, from grassroots organizations to UN entities. The consultant will lead on member engagement through drop-ins, quarterly 121s and coalition-wide calls, to ensure that members are contributing to and benefiting from the coalition.
Your contribution is important as AGIP is expanding and reorganising its membership to stay true to its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. You will revise and implement our member development approach by identifying and onboarding new members and work closely with the Youth Engagement and Advocacy Specialist to ensure that our processes meet the coalition’s safeguarding and youth engagement standards.
Qualifications
Undergraduate or Masters degree in Communications, Public Policy, Journalism, Public Relations, Gender Studies, International Development or related field.
3 – 5 years experience preferably in a similar context.
Significant experience working in multicultural environments, participation in networks and coalitions (informal or formal).
Experience with or strong understanding of UN events and processes, eg CSW.
Knowledge of current feminist issues and trends in international development and the Girls’ Rights and agency space.
Good knowledge of girl and youth safeguarding.
