Creative storyteller with podcast or video production chops? FAWE is hiring a Multimedia Communications Assistant to help launch a brand-new studio amplifying African voices on girls’ education.

The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is opening a new chapter in its communications work literally building a studio — and it’s hiring a Multimedia Communications Assistant to help bring it to life.

If multimedia production, digital storytelling, and podcast operations excite you, here’s the full breakdown.

Quick Overview

Organization: Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE)
Position: Multimedia Communications Assistant
Contract Type: Fixed-term, one year
Location: FAWE Regional Secretariat, Nairobi, Kenya (with occasional travel within Africa)
Reports To: Senior Communication Officer

What Is FAWE Studio?

FAWE is establishing FAWE Studio, a multimedia production platform dedicated to amplifying African voices on girls’ education and gender equality. The studio will produce podcasts, interviews, documentaries, and other digital content that showcases programme impact, influences policy dialogue, supports resource mobilisation, and strengthens engagement with partners, donors, alumni, and communities across Africa.
