Project Effectiveness Review in Indonesia
Overview
As part of Oxfam GB’s Global Performance
Framework, the Project Effectiveness Review will rigorously assess the
impact of this project on the people it is intending to support. Impact
will be evaluated particularly against Oxfam GB’s global indicator for
women’s empowerment. Data will be captured through the administration
of questionnaires, both to project beneficiaries and to comparable non-beneficiaries.
The consultant will train, supervise and manage a team of enumerators
to carry out the data collection. The consultant will work especially to
ensure that the data collected meets Oxfam’s high quality standards. The
statistical analysis will be carried out by Oxfam’s impact evaluation
team. The Oxfam team will be responsible for the overall methodology, but
will work in close collaboration with the consultant (as well as Oxfam’s
programme staff and the partner organizations) to ensure adequate sampling,
identifying the comparison group, and create the questionnaire.
Scope of Work / Key Tasks
· Review project documents and discuss the project with Oxfam and partner staff, to understand the details of the project objectives and its implementation.
· Work with Oxfam staff to identify indicators and design a questionnaire suitable for evaluating the project’s impact on women’s empowerment.
· Co-facilitate together with Oxfam staff a one-day workshop with a sample of project participants in order to define the characteristics of women’s empowerment in East Indonesia.
· Recruit a team of experienced enumerators for the data collection. Enumerators need to be all women.
· Lead a three-day training workshop for enumerators. This will include two days working through the paper version questionnaires and the use of the mobile devices/tablets and one day of field testing. (including arranging all logistics, such as finding venue, printing, stationary, etc)
· Organise all of the logistical arrangements necessary to carry out the field work, including transport and accommodation for enumerators as necessary, etc.
· Arrange the translation of the questionnaire into the local language (where appropriate).
· Help identify a valid comparison group of individuals that were similar to the project participants before it started, but who did not participate in the project.
· Prepare a list of sampled intervention and comparison women (800 approximately) and a list of replacement women to ensure sufficient sample size, in collaboration with Oxfam and project partners.
· Manage the survey work in the field, ensuring that the enumerators interview the correct respondents that surveys are carried out to a high standard, and that targets for numbers of respondents to be interviewed are met.
· Consult Oxfam’s Impact Evaluation Adviser on any problems that affect the selection of respondents for the survey or the number of respondents to be interviewed.
· Conduct 6 FGD in the intervention villages according with the material and guidelines provided.
· Write a brief report on the conduct of the field work, including details of any problems which were encountered and how they were resolved, and any feedback which may be useful for future surveys.
Oxfam has a strong preference that the survey is conducted using mobile devices or tablets. It is therefore expected that the consultant will:
· Work with Oxfam’s Impact Evaluation Adviser to build the mobile survey and upload it onto the mobile/tablet devices.
· Manage mobile/tablet devices ensuring each device is signed in and out at the beginning and end of each data collection day and that they are safely stored each night. (Supervisors will take responsibility to charge devices and to upload the data collected every evening.)
· Ensure that the data files are uploaded and transmitted to the server every night.
In case data collection is done with traditional paper version the consultant is also expected to:
· Review project documents and discuss the project with Oxfam and partner staff, to understand the details of the project objectives and its implementation.
· Work with Oxfam staff to identify indicators and design a questionnaire suitable for evaluating the project’s impact on women’s empowerment.

In case data collection is done with traditional paper version the consultant is also expected to:
· Manage
the data-entry process, ensuring that each questionnaire is entered twice
by two different data entry clerk. Oxfam will produce a report identifying
the discrepancies between first and second entries. The consultant is expected
to perform the reconciliation for these entries. Please note that the data-entry
interface will be provided by Oxfam, and that the consultant is not expected
to conduct data analysis.
Ensure that the data files are submitted online
following the guidelines provided, ensuring adequate encryption and using
an adequate file sharing system (i.e. Box) on completion of the data-entry
work.
