Workshop Facilitator Needed in Abuja at Girl Hub

Girl Hub is a strategic collaboration between the Nike Foundation and the UK Department for International Development (DFID), based in the UK, currently operating in three African countries, and with plans to open in India and elsewhere. Some international travel will be required.

The Nike Foundation is a powerful agent for real change and poverty alleviation in the developing world. The Foundations’ focus is on adolescent girls – its investments are centered on programmes and initiatives that enable young girls to realize their potential and transform their world, so unleashing a ripple effect of change. The work of the Nike Foundation is designed to get girls on the global agenda and drive resources to them; ensuring ideas become real solutions that deliver tangible and sustainable results.

Girl Hub Nigeria is planning to convene practitioners in the field of programming for girls to attend a two days girls' education learning summit. The learning summit will specifically target education programme experts, partners, and practitioners of girls’ education initiatives.

The objective is to understand the current landscape in girls’ secondary school education and completion, nationally and at state level in northern Nigeria. It will also explore what partners are doing including what gaps exist. Participants at the learning summit will also potentially come up with a strategy to addresses unmet needs. GHN will wish to start with Kano, therefore emphasis will be heavy on understanding Girls’ Education initiatives and the general landscape of education, the challenges and opportunities in Kano.
