RUTGERSWPF Indonesia: Looking for JUNIOR RESEARCHER and REPORT WRITER on SRHR Program

Project Title:
Exploring and analyzing situations and needs of children with disability aged 12-18 on SRHR as a basis for developing initiatives to reduce the vulnerabilities.

Personnel Needed:
1 Junior researcher – Quantitative
1 Junior researcher – Qualitative
1 Report Writer
 
Background:
 
RutgersWPF Indonesia and NLR work together to gather evidence on children with disability and leprosy to support the program implementation and measurement of outcome. The program experiences found the needs of children with neglect to sexual and reproductive health and rights education and services. This is contributing to vulnerability of children with disability aged 12-18 years old especially girls as victims of sexual violence, unwanted pregnancies, and faced challenges in building relationships and planning for families. At several locations, there is currently no concrete information and data on the vulnerability of adolescents with disabilities and how educational and services institutions and also CBOs respond to their SRHR situation. The absence of evidence and data related to KAP and needs on SRHR among children with disability aged 12-18 has made children with disabilities left behind in SRHR programs or even some SRHR programs developed and acknowledged for them but to be improperly targeted, both content and methodology.
 
Exploring and analyzing situations and needs of children with disability aged 12-18 on SRHR are crucial as a basis for developing initiatives to reduce these vulnerabilities. These evidences and data will help governments, local NGOs, education and health services institutions and CBOs to develop evidence-based program models in order to respond their SRHR needs in inclusive ways.
 
Target Area
The target area is Manggarai district - NTT and Gowa District – South Sulawesi.

Objectives
The overall objective of the assessment is to provide a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of:
1.        the knowledge, attitude, and practice of sexual reproductive health and right occurring amongst leprosy and children with disability,
2.        the factors that affect vulnerability to sexual violence among children with disability and other children, and
3.        identify access of leprosy and CwzDs to health, information and education services and its gaps. 

Outputs
Outputs of this assessment will be a set of evidence base data to implement service and program for leprosy and children with disability that includes: 
1.      Descriptive result of knowledge, attitude and practice of SRHR
2.      Analytical results of factors affect the vulnerability of SRHR
3.      Access and gap mapping in the term of health, information, and education service. 
 
Approach/Methodology
By using Mix Method Explorative design, the survey adopted a 2-part methodology:
·         Surveys are administered to collect quantitative information. The questionnaire included KAP, accessibility, and vulnerability of children with disability issues.
·         Focus groups are held to collect qualitative information. Community leaders, parents, care givers, community members, health providers are targeted. The FGD will be conducted through knowledge cafĂ© approach on data collecting and probing. 
 
The assessment is designed to explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice of leprosy and CWD regarding sexual reproductive health and right and analyses the vulnerability and access to health, education, information, and other services.
