Job Title: GHN Policy Advocacy Consultant

Manager
Consultancy Purpose
The Kano state government has shown commitment and investment
in girls’ education through the provision of services and funds
to support girls’ education. However, the manner in which these
services have been provided, albeit, well intentioned, have
been mostly based on the interest and commitment of the
Governor and not necessarily on a well-grounded policy. The
concern, therefore, is that a change in government could result
in a reversal of these education programmes of government, if
the new government does not have as much interest in girls’
education as the present one. To prevent this from happening,
GHN wishes to work with the Kano state government to develop a
comprehensive girls’ education policy. The purpose of this
consultancy is to develop a draft education policy for Kano
state based on the policy pronouncements of the government and
best practices from around the world.
