Consultancy Service for Baseline Survey for Girls' Football Project
Term of Reference
1. Background
Plan Indonesia has a mission to create a safe environment for children where they are appreciated and their rights are met. The environment is not only at home or other dwelling place, but also at school. With child-friendly school environment, children will grow to the fullest. Violence at schools, not only will distract learning process, but it will also ruin child’s growth process. In line with the mission, Plan Indonesia initiated an awareness raising amongst the society and stakeholders by developing Sekolah yang Ramah Anak (SRA) or Child Friendly School. The process will begin with a campaign about the importance of SRA. To develop a campaign strategy that meets the core issue, accurate information regarding violence conducts, including bullying, sexual abuse, and corporal punishments in schools are necessary.
Promoting girls’ development through the beneficial effects of sport is one of the efforts that will help create a healthier and safer world for children. Sport raises children’s awareness on their importance and place in the world. It helps them see their growing competencies. A child may not know about a certain skill or talent that he has, but discover it by practising a sport. It will also give them the occasion to value themselves and realise that they can better serve their community.
Recently, Plan Indonesia commenced Learn without Fear Campaign through Girls’ Football Project which is implemented in Jakarta in 15 Senior High Schools. And why football? Football is the most popular sport in Indonesia. Stretching from the western to eastern parts of Indonesia, almost everybody in the country loves football, making Indonesia as one of the biggest football nation in the world. However, the challenge is to find female soccer players in a country with a population of over 230 million people with 60% of women. The FIFA, which has urged Indonesia to promote and better support women's soccer in the country, believes that Indonesian female footballers have fantastic skills, especially those from the Eastern parts of the country. Unfortunately, football in Indonesia is still predominantly a matter of men. It is still unusual for girls to play football, which is unfortunate because this sport promotes many positive values, including
leadership, communication skills, teamwork and most of all, fair play. Looking at these facts, girls’ football has a big potential of development in Indonesia and can be used as a means to promote positive lifestyles in a girl’s life.

Children will play significant roles in this survey, therefore the survey methods must allow children to express their own views, experiences and perceptions and help children to do this in a variety ways.

These will be applied during the survey activities.
6. Timeframe

7. Ethical Guidelines
It is expected that consultant(s) should adhere to the ethical issues of Child Protection, which are:
1. Consent: It is important to always get the consent of children when doing a research interview with them or when using their story as part of the research. However, there are some parts of the research like using monitoring forms or general information from statistics that may not need consent as they are about the general situation. Consent can be verbal or written – whichever the survey team think is better for the person who is part of the evaluation.
2. Confidentiality: It is important to respect confidentiality within survey. For example, it can be useful to change the names of individuals when using their case study in a report – or to use no name. A good practice is that a child is asked first whether a researcher can share information, before they tell their information to anyone else. But a researcher should not promise to keep secrets from other team members as this could create problems in the future. It is good to let children know from the outset that the information that they share with the evaluator may be shared with other members of the team. There are some occasions when it may be necessary to break confidentiality – this is when the child is threatened or in danger.
3. Privacy: It is important to respect the privacy of a child and not ask invasive questions. While an adult may be able to say “no, I don’t want to answer that” a child may not be able to say that they feel uncomfortable. It is always good to allow the child the right not to answer any questions and to let them know that is OK.
4. Expectations: It is important that the child does not have their expectations raised unrealistically in survey. Therefore, an evaluator should not make promises that they cannot keep.

The qualifications required for this consultancy are:
· Post graduate qualification in social science and/or a related computer system field
