PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE.

The Data Analysist will be responsible for a) the data analysis of the first wave of the Longitudinal Dropout Study in Primary Education in Mozambique and b) liaising with the implementing partner, Universidade Pedagógica, during a four-months period. The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Research and Evaluation Specialist (P4) of the Social Policy Evaluation and Research (SPEAR) section, and in close collaboration with the Statistician and the Data Manager of the research project. The research will directly contribute to evidence generation (milestone of output 4) for policy dialogue and inform activities for outcome 3 in the Education CPD for 2017-2020.

METHODOLOGY AND TECHNICAL APPROACH.

The Longitudinal Dropout Study aims at exploring the factors and reasons behind children’s school dropout in primary schools in Mozambique, with a special focus on girls. The pilot phase of the study was conducted in 2017 in Zambezia Province, and in 2018 the data collection has been scaled-up to all provinces of Mozambique. The methodological approach foresees the combination of both quantitative and qualitative components to understand and explore the reasons behind dropout in a more holistic way. To this effect, the research covers a total of 60 random selected public primary schools in which approximately 5,400 children were randomly selected from different grades. The unit of analysis is the list of enrolled children in selected grades at the beginning of the school year and their attendance was regularly assessed during data collection, at the end of school year. This allows the research to monitor children that are still in the school system as well as children temporally or permanently dropping out of school, understanding causes and implications, and what keeps some children with similar backgrounds in school (positive deviants).

Despite children are not directly surveyed, information about children is collected by different actors surrounding children’s lives such as their families, school directors and teachers, as well as community leaders; and information will be triangulated in the analysis. This research will thus investigate the main existing hypotheses on the causes of drop-out and absenteeism in primary education along four different domains of variable: the child, his/her family, the school and the community/environment. Same children will be tracked for a period of at least three years (pending on funding), at the end of the school year (third trimester).

Data collection comprised four main components, namely the i. School survey aiming at gathering information on school, director, teachers, classes and selected children characteristics; additionally, children, teachers and directors’ attendance was frequently monitored during fieldwork with the objective of identifying and understanding the patterns of absenteeism, re-entry and drop out; ii. Household survey: selected children’s households were tracked and interviewed to gather information around target children and family characteristics, including family relation with the school; iii. Community survey: community leaders participated to the study as they are the most knowledgeable persons in the community who can provide relevant information on the characteristics of the community where selected children live; iv. Qualitative interviews (to be conducted in 2019): individual interviews with the local government at district level will be conducted to explore its perceptions on school dropout and its involvement in fostering school retention. Additionally, focus group discussion will be carried out with school and community members to have a deeper insight into the patterns and reasons for children to drop out of school.

Data collection for the quantitative component was conducted by the implementing partner, Universade Pedagogica (UP) with resort of university students and professors. UP will also be involved in the analysis of data and final report writing. While the qualitative component is expected to be carried out early next year.

The consultant will be responsible for:

Org. Setting and Reporting

This position is located in the Operations and Advocacy Division, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), which is part of the United Nations Secretariat responsible for bringing together humanitarian actors to ensure a coherent response to emergencies.

OCHA's mission is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors in order to alleviate human suffering in disasters and emergencies; advocate the rights of people in need; promote preparedness and prevention and facilitate sustainable solutions.

New conflicts leading to more displacements have erupted in the last few months, some in areas where the conflict is ongoing, precluding delivery of the response. In other areas access to IDPs has been limited due to local decisions on prioritization of the response. A variety of issues including monitoring and analysis of access constraints, humanitarian negotiations, advocacy and some elements of humanitarian civil-military coordination and of protection are an important part of the humanitarian response.

How can you make a difference?

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE.

The Data Analysist will be responsible for a) the data analysis of the first wave of the Longitudinal Dropout Study in Primary Education in Mozambique and b) liaising with the implementing partner, Universidade Pedagógica, during a four-months period. The consultant will work under the direct supervision of the Research and Evaluation Specialist (P4) of the Social Policy Evaluation and Research (SPEAR) section, and in close collaboration with the Statistician and the Data Manager of the research project. The research will directly contribute to evidence generation (milestone of output 4) for policy dialogue and inform activities for outcome 3 in the Education CPD for 2017-2020.

METHODOLOGY AND TECHNICAL APPROACH.

The Longitudinal Dropout Study aims at exploring the factors and reasons behind children’s school dropout in primary schools in Mozambique, with a special focus on girls. The pilot phase of the study was conducted in 2017 in Zambezia Province, and in 2018 the data collection has been scaled-up to all provinces of Mozambique. The methodological approach foresees the combination of both quantitative and qualitative components to understand and explore the reasons behind dropout in a more holistic way. To this effect, the research covers a total of 60 random selected public primary schools in which approximately 5,400 children were randomly selected from different grades. The unit of analysis is the list of enrolled children in selected grades at the beginning of the school year and their attendance was regularly assessed during data collection, at the end of school year. This allows the research to monitor children that are still in the school system as well as children temporally or permanently dropping out of school, understanding causes and implications, and what keeps some children with similar backgrounds in school (positive deviants).

Despite children are not directly surveyed, information about children is collected by different actors surrounding children’s lives such as their families, school directors and teachers, as well as community leaders; and information will be triangulated in the analysis. This research will thus investigate the main existing hypotheses on the causes of drop-out and absenteeism in primary education along four different domains of variable: the child, his/her family, the school and the community/environment. Same children will be tracked for a period of at least three years (pending on funding), at the end of the school year (third trimester).

Data collection comprised four main components, namely the i. School survey aiming at gathering information on school, director, teachers, classes and selected children characteristics; additionally, children, teachers and directors’ attendance was frequently monitored during fieldwork with the objective of identifying and understanding the patterns of absenteeism, re-entry and drop out; ii. Household survey: selected children’s households were tracked and interviewed to gather information around target children and family characteristics, including family relation with the school; iii. Community survey: community leaders participated to the study as they are the most knowledgeable persons in the community who can provide relevant information on the characteristics of the community where selected children live; iv. Qualitative interviews (to be conducted in 2019): individual interviews with the local government at district level will be conducted to explore its perceptions on school dropout and its involvement in fostering school retention. Additionally, focus group discussion will be carried out with school and community members to have a deeper insight into the patterns and reasons for children to drop out of school.

Data collection for the quantitative component was conducted by the implementing partner, Universade Pedagogica (UP) with resort of university students and professors. UP will also be involved in the analysis of data and final report writing. While the qualitative component is expected to be carried out early next year.

The consultant will be responsible for:

USAID/Ethiopia Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Service (EPMES) Activity

Social Impact (SI) is a Washington, DC-area international development management consulting firm. SI’s mission is to improve the effectiveness of international development programs in improving people’s lives. We provide a full range of management consulting, technical assistance, and training services to strengthen international development programs, organizations, and policies. We provide services globally in the areas of monitoring and evaluation, strategic planning, project and program design, organizational capacity building, and gender and social analysis. SI services cross-cut all development sectors including democracy and governance, health, education, the environment, and economic growth. SI’s clients include US government agencies such as USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the US Department of State, bilateral donors, multilateral development banks, foundations, and non-profits. In Ethiopia, SI implements the Ethiopia Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Service (EPMES) Activity of USAID. The EPMES Activity provides monitoring and evaluation (M&E) services to the USAID/ Ethiopia Mission, which include external evaluation, performance monitoring technical support and improving capacity for learning and adapting.

I.Background

The USAID/Challenge TB Ethiopia (CTB) Project is a 5-year global mechanism active since October 2014 and ending in September 2019. In Ethiopia, it is being implemented by KNCV TB Foundation as the in-country lead, along with Management Sciences for Health (MSH) and World Health Organization (WHO). Additional partners who are in the global coalition but not active in-country in Ethiopia are the American Thoracic Society, FHI 360, and Interactive Research and Development (IRD). Challenge TB Ethiopia supports a comprehensive package of tuberculosis (TB) interventions.

Challenge TB Ethiopia collaborates with the National TB Program (NTP), major national institutions (EPHI, AHRI, PFSA and FMHACA), Ethiopian universities and other local institutions and helps the regional health bureaus (RHBs), zonal health departments (ZHDs), and woreda (district) primary health care units to take ownership of TB, TB/HIV, and multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) program management. Through this assistance, the RHBs, ZHDs, and woreda (district) primary health care units have been fully engaged to ensure improved and sustainable program management capacity. Challenge TB Ethiopia focuses on increasing case notification and decentralization of TB services to communities through Health Extension Workers (HEW) and expanding access to additional health facilities (HF) in rural and urban areas. The project is also helping to strengthen Ethiopia’s health system by supporting the national laboratory network, program management teams of regional, zonal and woreda health offices and health facility staff capacity, woreda planning and improved drug supply management and TB infection prevention standards.

II.Evaluation Purpose

The purpose of this final performance evaluation is to independently assess the overall performance of the Challenge TB Project—in terms of achievements and challenges faced during implementation—and provide insight into effectiveness and relevance of the intervention strategies that have been implemented.
