Aïda Toyé
Project Coordinator, Voice, Oxfam in Niger
Contact: Aida.Toye@oxfam.org
After studying public administration at the University of Abuja in Nigeria, Aida decided to launch her career in communications. Over the course of 13 years Aida worked for some of the bigger communication agencies in West Africa, participating in setting up fruitful exchanges with various types of clients as well as successfully organising major events.
Although Aida is new to the world of sustainable development, she has always wanted to work for an organisation that fights against social inequality, poverty and injustice in the world. At a small scale Aida had also begun collecting and donating to support the most disadvantaged people at an individual level without the element of empowerment or independence and without the bigger picture of influencing policies and social norms to improve their situation.
After having worked as Voice Linking and Learning Assistant for over two years, Aida got promoted to the role of Voice Project Coordinator as of 1st of April 2021.
