Job description
About the Inclusive Economic Growth Team
The Inclusive Economic Growth team is one of our core areas of expertise. We specialise in the design and implementation of programmes that adopt a market systems approach (often referred to as “Making Markets Work for the Poor”), and work on numerous projects related to agriculture, public-private dialogue, business environment reform, business for development, and trade across the world.
About the project
The Mafita programme is a high profile project involving high levels of senior stakeholder engagement and is DFID’s flagship Skills Development programme. The programme is based in Kano and covers three key states: Kano, Kaduna and Katsina. The programme is focussed on supporting 68,000 marginalised young people in northern Nigeria, with an emphasis on women, adolescent girls and (the socially and economically marginalised) Almajirai, to find full-time, skilled employment or self-employment through skills development. MAFITA addresses a number of challenges, including socio-cultural norms which limit women’s access to education, particularly formal schooling and skills training, and their ability to attend formal schools or training centres

The role will be Kano-based and key responsibilities will include taking on project management responsibilities for the MAFITA project.
