Mercy Corps Recruits Enumerators for Mapping of Marginalised Girls in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna

Mercy Corps is the lead implementing partner for the Empowering Nigerian Girls in New Enterprises (ENGINE) program to reduce financial and education barriers for marginalized Nigerian adolescent girls ages 16 to 19.

ENGINE will increase girls’ access to
(1) financial education and leadership/transferable skills;
(2) peer-to-peer networks and mentors; and
(3) direct assets (materials and savings).

ENGINE will integrate adolescent girls into value chains as well as conduct other market-driven employment opportunities. ENGINE will also work with girls in formal and informal education to increase their learning opportunities and outcomes to prepare them for future economic activities.

ENGINE will be implemented in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Lagos, and Kano and Kaduna States.
