Country Director, Rwanda

About Viamo

Mobile technology is revolutionizing how organizations engage with the people they serve. More than 96% of the world’s population has access to a mobile phone, meaning it is now possible to reach nearly every single person on the planet. Yet 3 billion people living in emerging markets still lack access to relevant, timely, and engaging information in their local languages, and their voices remain underheard. The organizations that serve them lack the technology and capacity to reach them, and many are unaware of the power of mobile technology to meet their organizational goals.

Viamo believes that information is power. We connect individuals and organizations using digital technology to make better decisions.

Having reached more than 21 million people in 2022 and more than 4 million monthly active users, we have our eyes on our goal of reaching 100 million monthly active users by 2026.

We provide organizations with the digital solutions and expertise to meaningfully engage their target audiences on the mobile devices they already have. We do this by disseminating actionable benefits in the form of digital campaigns, digital training, and the Viamo platform – a toll-free gateway to the world with no internet connection required. We also use digital surveys to gather feedback and collect lean data to hear from the people you serve and to support operational decision-making.

Viamo has been working in Rwanda since 2017. Mobile penetration rates show a steady increase in recent years with 89.3% mobile subscriptions and 71% of households owning a mobile phone. This is higher than radio or television ownership, which is 40.4% and 13.6% respectively. Given Viamo’s existing penetration in this market, relationship with telecoms, and use of Interactive Voice Response (IVR), we are uniquely positioned to work in this context. In 2022 alone, we reached 2.32 million people in Rwanda through our services, and so far in 2023 we have reached 1.8m people with almost 50m key messages. With offices located in Kigali, Viamo is firmly committed to and experienced in making the path to digital easy for our partners.

VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Youth First Rwanda 2023-24

Terms of Reference for the recruitment of 6 data collectors

Follow up Qualitative Research

Organization Background

Wellspring Foundation for Education is an International NGO whose vision is to be a catalyst for transforming education in Africa and to foster vibrant communities that address poverty in all its forms. Wellspring is registered as an INGO in Rwanda and as a charitable organisation in Langley BC, Canada.

The Wellspring Foundation for Education has been working in Rwanda since 2008, implementing locally-led education programs in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Rwanda Education Board and our partner districts.

Our innovative School Development Program has supported educators, leaders, and the school community members in over 150 schools in Rwanda. Wellspring is also dedicated to developing and piloting local innovations to support quality education in Rwanda – current projects include Gender Responsive Formative Assessment, and Blended Digital Learning for Teacher Professional Development. Wellspring is now leading the implementation of WorldBeing’s Youth First Rwanda program that builds resilience and mental health for young adolescents in Rwandan secondary schools across 7 districts.

I. Project Background

Youth First Rwanda (YFR) program is a school-based resilience intervention that targets psychosocial, physical, and educational wellbeing among Rwandan youth (ages 13-15) studying in government lower secondary schools. Developed by WorldBeing, a US-based non-governmental organization, YFR draws on scientific evidence from the positive psychology, resilience, and mental health promotion fields. YFR has been specifically customized to the cultural and language context of Rwanda. The program aims to enhance adolescents’ agency by building their planning and decision-making skills and their sense of self-determination. In collaboration with the Rwanda Basic Education Board (REB), WorldBeing  piloted YFR in 2020 and officially launched the program in 50 lower secondary schools in 2021. In the 2022-23 academic year, WorldBeing began partnering with The Wellspring Foundation for Education for implementation of YFR. The intervention aims to reach 50 percent of Rwandan lower secondary schools by 2025.

YFR trains and supports schoolteachers to facilitate student resilience sessions: weekly, one-hour meetings of adolescent girls and boys in separate small groups of 15-20 students per week. The core YFR curriculum unfolds throughout one academic year, progressively building tangible skills in:

• Character strength development
• Social-emotional and communication skills
• Goal-setting, problem-solving, and conflict resolution
• Gender rights, puberty and reproductive health, hygiene, and safe water practices

YFR uses a training-of-trainers (ToT) approach and a curriculum that translates and adapts research and best practices from the fields of emotional resilience, positive psychology, social-emotional learning, conflict resolution and other fields into materials, activities, and skills tailored for young adolescents in Rwanda. Youth First and a similar program Girls First have demonstrated results in increased resilience, self-efficacy, emotional self-regulation, and increased use of practical tools to communicate, solve problems, resolve conflicts, and set and achieve goals. Evidence also suggests increasing youth aspirations and confidence toward completing their education, delaying marriage and childbirth, and reaching career and other life goals.

Teachers receive eight days of intensive training and content immersion in a hybrid remote/in-person format related to resilience, social-emotional wellbeing, problem solving, dealing with difficult emotions, goal setting, and conflict resolution, as well as skills around effective facilitation and student engagement. Additionally, teachers receive regular supportive supervision and mentoring by Master Trainers and further build skills through five monthly peer support sessions over the course of the program. Youth First programs in Kenya and India consistently yield evidence that teachers gain resilience through teaching resilience: teachers report improved psychosocial and educational attitudes and practices such as better teacher-pupil relations, improved relationships with school administrators and other teachers, improved communication and support in the home environment, and greater commitment to students and their education.

II. Study Background

During the 2022-23 academic year, WorldBeing and Wellspring conducted a quasi-experimental study that sought  to (1) answer key questions about the impact of YFR on Rwandan youth and (2) develop an explanatory theory for any observed effects. The study included Senior 1 (S-1) students (ages 13-15) from 50 schools benefiting from YFR and S-1 students from 50 comparable schools not benefiting from YFR. Results from evaluation indicated that the program had a positive impact on short-term outcomes such as knowledge of and confidence in problem solving, managing emotions, goal setting, and facing challenges. However, the impact of the program on intermediate outcomes such as resilience, improved gender attitudes, and increased school engagement were inconclusive.

To better understand the impact of the program on intermediate outcomes and find answers to questions that remained unanswered in our previous research, WorldBeing and Wellspring will conduct a follow-up study in a total of 18 lower-secondary schools across Huye, Kayonza, and Rulindo. As part of the study, qualitative focus group discussions will be conducted with male and female students who were in S-1 during the 2022-23 academic year in each of the 18 purposively selected schools. Data will be collected in November 2023.

III. Scope of Work

Wellspring is seeking to recruit qualitative data collectors to conduct interviews and focus groups and transcribe data from a sample of 18 schools in November  2023.
