The Dorothy Njemanze Foundation (DNF) is inviting applications from qualified Field Enumerators and Research Consultants to support its Social Audit and Community Voice Documentation Project across selected states in Nigeria.
This initiative is focused on documenting the lived realities of 600 women, with 300 participants each from Imo State and Niger State.
