Qualitative Research Consultants at International Center for Journalists

Job description

Project Description

The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), with funding from Wellspring Philanthropic Fund, is "Assessing the effectiveness of interventions on Women’s Land Rights Social Norms in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda." Specifically, ICRW is conducting a qualitative assessment of the Securing Your Family’s Future (SYFF) course for men, a course designed to shift peer norms among men on women’s land and property rights.

This project will cover the first phase of that effort, specifically, the collection of qualitative baseline data. This data will be used both to understand the current state of men’s knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, future intentions and perceptions of peer norms related to women’s land and property rights and to later evaluate the impact of the course by comparing these baseline findings with mid- and endline results.

ICRW seeks Consultant(s) (two per country) to be based in each of the countries (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda) who have significant, demonstrated experience in conducting qualitative research, analyzing qualitative data, and developing high quality research reports. Throughout the project the Consultant(s) will work and communicate closely with the ICRW research team.
