Company Profile Family Empowerment Media (FEM) is an evidence-based non-profit that enables informed family planning through clear, compelling, and accurate communication. Job Description Research and Communications Manager
Family Empowerment Media
Ghana
Family Empowerment Media seeks a short term Research and Communications Manager to conduct qualitative research and support the development of prototypes of its radio programming prior to the launch of its family planning programs in Ghana.
About Family Empowerment Media
In Ghana, modern methods of contraception are available at low or no cost in most locations. Nevertheless, according to the last Demographic and Health Survey, 26% of married women who do not want to become pregnant are not using a modern contraception method. While there are many causes for this usage gap, misperceptions about the side effects of contraception are largely to blame. FEM aims to increase understanding of modern contraception methods by disseminating information through radio advertisements and programs. Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive effect that radio-based social and behavioral change campaigns can have in empowering women and men to realize their family planning intentions.
FEM is an early-stage organization with significant potential for growth. The idea for the organization was conceived in August 2020 during the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program. In early September, we received our first seed funding grant. The next steps are to develop a prototype, proof of concept, and a pilot in Ghana. By the end of 2022, we plan to have reached 320 000 Ghanaian women through our programming and established an office in Ghana with four full-time employees.
About the Role
The Research and Communications Manager will play a key role in FEM’s prototyping phase, from October - November 2020. The Manager will (1) support FEM in conducting research on a variety of topics, and (2) developing prototypes of radio content.
The prototyping phase will be iterative. We will start with formative research of the target audience, develop a rough prototype, test the rough prototype, develop a feasible prototype, and test the feasible prototype (Table 1).
