For over a decade, the NIKE Foundation, inspired by Nike's belief in human potential, has been focused on investing in girls. In 2008 the NIKE Foundation, in collaboration with NoVo Foundation, United Nations Foundation and other partners, launched the Girl Effect movement.

Girl Effect is seeking an organizational partner to provide routine translation, subtitling and voice-over recording support for two key projects: TEGA (Technology Enabled Girls Ambassadors) and Girls Connect.
The partner must be available to start in October 2017.
About TEGA
TEGA (Technology Enabled Girl Ambassadors) is a technology driven peer-to-peer research product and Girl Effect’s potential solution to gaining accurate insight into a girl’s life. Through TEGA, Girl Effect works towards fulfilling its ambition to empowering the hardest to reach demographic in the world - adolescent girls living in poverty. But reaching adolescent girls in poverty is only half of the challenge. The bigger half of the challenge is creating a research method that gives girls a safe space where they can express themselves and speak honestly about their lives, dreams and the real barriers they face. Conventional research methodologies deployed to understand girls - often
western, adult strangers arriving at her doorstep, asking intimate questions at a moment’s notice - creates an environment where they are unlikely to feel comfortable speaking freely. TEGA uses certified data-collection techniques and mobile technology to teach girls aged 18-24 how to collect meaningful, honest data about their world in real time. The data they collect can be translated and analyzed within 15 minutes of being uploaded. In collaboration with tech and research partners, GEN maintains the TEGA app, monitoring connectivity, designing surveys and conducting analysis and report writing. However, GEN does not have adequate internal resources to translate incoming content from the field from Hausa, Kanuri and potentially other languages to English for a successfully and efficiently analysis of research findings.
About Girls Connect
Girl Effect prides itself on trailblazing new and innovative approaches to accelerate change for girls. Girls Connect is the newest initiative to be born from our innovation lab. In 2016, Girl Effect partnered with one of Africa’s largest IT companies, iSON Group, combining the power of Girl Effect’s expertise with global, private sector technology and processes. Together, we’ve created a new, never before tested, approach that puts girls in the driving seat of their own life experiences. Girls Connect is a unique platform that delivers a personalized, anonymous and confidential experience for girls, combining access to on-demand content and on-demand conversations via a digital platform. Girls control what entertaining and informative story they select on an IVR platform, but their experience doesn’t stop there. After the story girls are connected to one of iSON’s call center agents, who we’ve trained to transform into role models, who help girls make sense of what they’ve listened to and think about how to apply critical life lessons to their own life. Girls Connect is aimed as a service for girls 14 – 16, with a larger audience of girls 14 – 19. Taking Girls Connect to Scale A successful 4-week pilot (Phase 1) was conducted from July to August 2016 followed by a successful 8-week pilot (Phase 2) conducted from April to May 2017, both in Kano state. During Phase 2, Girls Connect received over 44,000 calls – 5 times more than expected – from nearly 8,000 unique users. We’ve also gained global interest, most recently being featured in TIME. Now is the time to scale Girls Connect. The service offered content on topics such as safety, relationships, social media and money. Girls Connect has been designed from the beginning with the aim to reach girls at scale. In July 2017, we began a new, exciting phase (Phase 3) moving from prototype testing to designing for scale across Nigeria with our 1 Million
Unheard Voices and Choices campaign. Our campaign will kick-off in January 2018 and will run for 6 months across Kano, Edo and Oyo states and will offer the service in Hausa, Pidgin and Yoruba connecting 1 million calls to content and conversations.
Scope of Work
Girl Effect will require continuous translations and voice-over of content in a format that is clear, girl-friendly and relevant to girls in the larger locations. All voice-over of content is expected to be by females between 20 and 35 years; who have a warm, friendly and clear voice. For the initial stage, translations will be made into Hausa, Kanuri, Pidgin English and Yoruba. Voice-over artists and translators are expected to be fluent speakers of at least one of these languages. Additional languages might be added later.
