National Research Consultants - Terms of Reference
Indonesia
Background
Plan
International is implementing a multi-country research
project ‘Getting the evidence: Asia Child
Marriage Initiative’. The research, which falls under the aegis of Plan’s Because I am a Girl Campaign, is
taking place in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Pakistan. The aim of the research is
to gather evidence on structural factors that influence the practice of child
marriage - socio-cultural norms, values and attitudes, gender identities and
roles, legal and policy systems, the administration of resources, benefits and
services, and the distribution of social, economic and political power - to
inform Plan’s programming and advocacy interventions in Asia.
Coram Children’s
Legal Centre (CCLC), a UK based NGO, has been contracted to design the
research, which will be implemented by national teams from each country. We
are seeking qualitative researchers and survey enumerators to undertake data
collection for the study in Indonesia.
