ALIGN generates evidence on what works in adolescent health and nutrition across 12 African countries. But evidence that doesn't reach the people who can act on it doesn't change anything. The Outreach, Advocacy, Liaison & Communications Officer is the person who makes sure it does through policy briefs, digital campaigns, media engagement, stakeholder liaison, and a communications strategy that keeps ALIGN visible and influential throughout its life. ๐’๐จ๐ฆ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ซ๐ž๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ž: A degree in Communications, Public Relations, or Journalism.
