Job Title: Adolescent Development Specialist (U-Report) NO-3

For every child, dedication

Nigeria has one of the largest youth populations in the world, with most of the population (74%) under 35 years old. (National Youth Survey 2020). As the country continues to grow and develop, it’s essential to engage with youth to harness their energy and potential for positive change. UNICEF Nigeria aims to support the government in strengthening youth participation and engagement. To achieve this, UNICEF Nigeria established a communication platform, U-Report, which enables youth to access information and participate in key issues that affect them.

U-Report is a social monitoring tool that allows youth to speak out on community issues via SMS, polls, messages and on digital platforms. It amplifies their voices through local and national media and provides real-time data for stakeholders, service providers, and decision-makers. The platform also empowers youth to work towards change and improvements in their communities. With Nigeria’s high mobile density rate and increasing access to internet, U-Report has the potential to make a significant impact.

How can you make a difference? 

Under the supervision of the Chief of Communications, Advocacy and Partnerships, the Adolescent Development Specialist (U-Report) will support the scaling up of the U-Report programme including U-Report communities, and make it meaningfully used for programming for children by UNICEF, Government, and implementing partners. The incumbent will work with programme sections to develop and deploy demand-driven U-Report use cases that address development challenges and accelerate results for children. The incumbent will be tasked to support integrating social innovation approaches into traditional UNICEF programming, especially for adolescents and young people.

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Managing and maintaining the U-Report digital platform (RapidPro), ensuring its smooth operation and technical integrity.
  • Collaborating with program sections to design and deploy regular U-Report polls and other digital content.
