Who we are:
Girl Effect builds youth brands and mobile platforms to empower girls to change their lives
We’re a creative non-profit, empowering girls to change their lives. Started by the Nike Foundation, we are experts in media, mobile, brand and international development: a unique mix of skills that we use to solve global problems in a different way. We work across the world in places where girls are marginalised and vulnerable.
We create youth brands and mobile platforms for young people in ways they love and interact with. We deliver these through the media and mobile tech they use every day – from apps that build skills, to TV dramas that explore vital issues, to magazines written by girls.
In Tanzania, Girl Effect has launched a new youth brand to deliver behaviour change via mobile products and off-line activities. It also runs a mobile based research programme operated by girls; TEGA:
The brand will include a website, Facebook page, IVR content and chatbots. We are also partnering with existing networks of ambassadors and clubs to broaden the reach and impact of our products.
Our TEGA research programme is borne out of the understanding that an adolescent girl is more likely to feel comfortable speaking truthfully about her life to another girl like her. TEGA employs girls from hard to reach communities to become qualified researchers. By using girls with a shared identity, TEGA is proven to increase propensity for authentic responses.
What we do
The Evidence & Insights team within Girl Effect conducts formative research, monitoring and evaluation to support the organisation in designing and developing our work to create the greatest impact for girls. We also work closely with the partnerships team to measure and evaluate our work against our specific objectives and demonstrate our impact to existing and potential donors. TEGA often runs internal research to help inform decisions within the organisation as well taking on external research projects for like-minded development and private sector organisations. The team plays a key role in ensuring we are a learning organisation, collecting and using data and insights to understand how we can maximise our reach & impact, and feeding that learning back into the organisation.

We have an exciting and varied portfolio of research planned in Tanzania, including formative research and creative and content testing on TEGA; impact evaluations for our donors; ongoing monitoring - of our digital products using analytics and other digital methods, and a range of other work.
