Equal Access (EA) is an international not for profit organization working throughout Asia, Africa and the Middle East. A communications for social change organization that combines the power of media with community mobilization, Equal Access creates customized communications strategies and outreach solutions that foster peace building and social cohesion, women & girls' empowerment, youth life skills & livelihoods, human rights, health, as well as civic participation and good governance. EA has launched AREWA24, a Hausa-language free-to-air satellite television channel (on NILESAT 102, Frequency 12226) locally produced by and for northern Nigerians and fully dedicated to the people, cultures, and values of northern Nigeria and the Hausa-speaking sub-region.
As part of the project, Equal Access will undertake a survey of audience viewing habits and preferences. The survey will enable AREWA24 to produce and air programming that best responds to audiences' preferences and priorities. In order to undertake the survey, which will target key states in Northern Nigeria (including Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, and Jigawa), Equal Access is looking for enumerators (researchers) with specific experience conducting surveys in Hausa in Northern Nigeria to help carry out the survey and accompanying focus group discussions.
