Calling Consultant for
Conducting Integrative Baseline & Endline For Right to Food Project

Background
Oxfam in Indonesia is implementing a Right to Food (RTF) Project with four
national partners. RTF aims to improve small-scale food producers’ access
to and control over their resources, especially land. The four
implementing partners include People’s Coalition for Food Sovereignty
(KRKP), People’s Coalition for Fisheries Justice (Kiara), Consortium for
Agrarian Reform (KPA) and Women’s Solidarity for Human Rights (SP)... The
project is implement in 14 districts in 5 provinces: NTT, NTB, Central
Sulawesi, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi.
RTF Project focuses on 6 outcomes: (i) improved policies of government and
global actor; (ii) improved policies of private sector actors; (iii)
increased political will; (iv) strengthened CSOs; (v) increased citizen
voice; and (vi) shifted norms and attitudes. Those outcome areas are
linked to each other in theory of change on influencing and advocacy
scheme. Each partner organization has different contribution to achieve
each outcome area and works in different number of location (district
level).
RTF began in June 2016 already conducted baseline reports before project
started. We used different kind methodology and approach for assessing of
project context in beginning, including context analysis and capacity
assessment for implementer. We did the first baseline survey only focused
on outcome area “increased citizen’s voice” and ”shifted norms and
attitudes” which captured social-economic information and beneficiary’s
perception. We provided context analysis to observe the previous policy
and actors as we targeted to be influenced. Then we did complementary
survey that focused more on outcome area “improved policies of government
and global actor“; “improved policies of private sector actors”; “
increased political will” and “strengthened CSOs”.
