Date of Advertisement	2 October 2020
Submit Application to	Procurement_team@ksi-indonesia.org
Date Proposal due	9 October 2020

1.        Background

 

In 2018 KSI supported Kemenristek/BRIN in updating its Research Grant Guidelines Edition XII to incorporate Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) principles for the first time in order to encourage universities to conduct more GESI research.  The research grants are managed by Directorate of Research and Community Services (DRPM) through an online information system called Simlitabmas, mainly accessible for university lecturers.  In 2018, KSI in collaboration with Cakra Wikara Indonesia (CWI) and DRPM also supported technical guidance sessions for university researchers in three provinces. The sessions provided an opportunity for DRPM to introduce the new guidelines, encourage the research to do GESI related research and raise awareness of how to do this.

To ensure the wider outreach of the new guideline, during 2020 KSI is supporting DRPM to produce two videos to promote more GESI research, to be released before the call for 2021 grants opens  in late September/early October  2020 and closes in late October/early November 2020. There will be two videos – one in Bahasa Indonesia and one in English - to introduce the guidelines  to a larger audience, encourage researchers to do GESI research and promote collaborative research involving not only university lecturers, but also government, civil society organizations, policy research institutes, and the private sector.

 

KSI will also support a short-term campaign on mainstreaming GESI perspectives in research in Indonesia which could consist of articles and postings relevant to the topics, as well as writings from the featured researchers on their work. The videos and campaign materials are being produced by The Conversation Indonesia.

 

The first attempt to monitor the progress was done in 2019, by looking at the numbers of 2018 and 2019 GESI related research that were funded by Government of Indonesia through DRPM.  KSI is commissioning a further evaluation to monitor the extent to which the guidelines and the campaign materials (videos, articles and postings) are leading to more GESI research.

 

2.        Specific Tasks

The National Consultant will work closely with KSI M&E Team and DRPM to provide the services below. The National Consultant will report to KSI’s Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Lead and coordinate closely with the program team.

1.      The consultant will develop a short evaluation plan to outline the evaluation approach and mixed methods to be used to address the evaluation questions and how these will be analyzed.

[newdevjobsindo] Save the Children Indonesia Vacancy: Gender and Power Analysis Consultant

[newdevjobsindo] Save the Children Indonesia Vacancy: Gender and Power Analysis Consultant

September 30, 2020   Comment  

Gap & Power (GAP) Analysis

A GAP analysis examines gender inequalities, power hierarchies, and forms of discrimination and marginalization. It intentionally seeks to identify how systems of oppression intersect and impact people's access to resources and opportunities within the communities where Save the Children works. The GAP analysis builds upon previous gender analysis frameworks and gender and power analyses developed by donors, NGOs, and practitioners. It highlights gender as a leading power imbalance since it is used to in every country and community to organize social interactions, relations, and institutions.

The objectives of GAP are:

1. Identify barriers, risks, unequal power relations, and forms of marginalization, discrimination, and exclusion that perpetuate gender and social inequality for our targeted Next Gen children ages 12-15 on their education and learning opportunities for the future of work and for our targeted Youth with Disabilities / YwD) ages 16-24 on their education and employment opportunities.
2. Analyze and explain how systems of oppression intersect shape educational and employment opportunities and life choices of Next Gen children ages 12-15 and YwD ages 16-24.
3. Understand existing efforts that addresses existing barriers faced by Next Gen children and Youth with Disabilities.
4. Develop concrete recommendations to:

• increase equitable access, participation, and benefits of program activities
• mitigate potential unintended negative consequences and do no harm,
• address key barriers to youth accessing quality education and decent work such as social stigma against youth with disabilities.

Given the nature of the project, we have selected a few priority sectoral research questions to guide the GAP analysis and narrow its focus. For GG7 project, the GAP Analysis will look at the following.

Research Goals for GG7 Project

1. Have a deeper understanding of the gender and social inequalities prevalent in schools and communities we work in and the forms of marginalization, discrimination, and exclusion Next Generation children ages 12-15 and youth (or YwD) ages 16-24 experience.
2. Identify gender and social inequalities program barriers(?) participants might face in accessing and participating in S2S programs and reaching program objectives.
3. Identify key partners and stakeholders to support efforts addressing gender/social inequalities (i.e. local women's rights organizations, disability groups, etc.).
4. Create actionable recommendations to inform GAP strategy and program adaptations.
5. Design GAP strategy based on the results of the GAP analysis and conduct action planning sessions with SC staff, implementing partners and key community stakeholders.
6. Create at least one gender transformative intervention or action based on the GAP Strategy and implement. In addition, all program activities will be refined to ensure that they are not causing harm, exacerbating inequalities and to ensure that necessary accommodations are in place to allow equitable access and participation in the project.
7. Informing the GG7 MEAL activities, approaches and or methodologies, including project documentation (e.g., data segregation by age, gender, type of disabilities).

Research Methodology by considering Covid-19 pandemic situation in Indonesia

Given the fact that Indonesia has not reached its peak for Covid-19 cases, and Bandung city has been categorized into orange zone, so it is still dangerous to do any fieldwork during this pandemic situation. Therefore, GG7 would consider safer options to do data collection through online surveys, online discussion platforms such as through zoom meeting and Whats App group, phone interviews, focus group discussion, recordings, videos, and photovoice. We may also try written diaries, journal entries, etc if proven to be effective and possible.
