    Data Collector (Part time)

    In May 2020, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Nigeria awarded the Youth-powered Ecosystem to Advance Urban Adolescent Health (YPE4AH) to DAI and its partners: Yellow Brick Road (YBR), Youth Development and Empowerment Initiative (YEDI), Women Friendly Initiative (WFI), and Grassroots Soccer (GRS). This five-year program is expected to improve the health and well-being of urban, under-privileged, out-of-school, and unmarried adolescents aged 15–19 years in Lagos and Kano States by increasing voluntary family planning (FP) uptake and continued use from a holistic, human capital perspective.

    The MERL team will be responsible for training data collectors and other project teams to use the tools, including how to collect and validate data.
