Who We Are
Girl Effect is an international non-profit organisation that creates media, technology and behaviour change interventions that girls want, trust and need.

Across Africa and Asia, our programmes equip adolescent girls and young women with the information, confidence and support they need to make informed decisions about their health, education, livelihoods and futures.

In Tanzania, Girl Effect works with government, development partners and communities to design and deliver evidence-based Social and Behaviour Change (SBC) interventions that improve health, wellbeing and resilience among adolescents, young people and caregivers.

Project Background
Girl Effect Tanzania is implementing the Strengthening Health, Wellbeing and Resilience for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) in Arusha Region project.

The project aims to improve the health, wellbeing and resilience of adolescent girls and young women through an integrated Social and Behaviour Change approach, with particular focus on:
  • Sexual and reproductive health (SRH);
  • Mental wellbeing;
  • Community mobilisation and engagement;
  • Positive gender norms;
  • Youth-friendly information and services;
  • Peer and community support systems; and
  • Strengthening government and community systems.

Building on Girl Effect's existing Early Childhood Development and nutrition programming in Arusha, the project integrates SRH and mental wellbeing into established government and community platforms.

Implementation will involve collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Community Development, Gender, Women and Special Groups, PMO-RALG, Regional and Council Health Management Teams (RHMTs/CHMTs), schools, Community Health Workers (CHWs), health facilities, community leaders and implementing partners.

Girl Effect therefore seeks an experienced Project Coordinator Consultant to support the effective coordination and implementation of the project across the target areas.

Objective of the Consultancy
The purpose of this consultancy is to provide effective day-to-day coordination, implementation oversight and stakeholder management for the project.

The consultant will serve as a key coordination focal point between Girl Effect, government counterparts, implementing partners and community structures and will support the timely and high-quality delivery of project activities in accordance with approved workplans, budgets, donor requirements, national guidelines and Girl Effect policies.

Applicants should demonstrate:
  • Bachelor's degree in Public Health, Project Management, Community Development, Social Sciences, Nursing or a related field.
