Organization: Danish Refugee Council
Closing date: 4 Apr 2024
Purpose of the consultancy
MMC Eastern and Southern Africa | Egypt and Yemen, based in Nairobi, aims to hire a consultant for two research projects:
1) Chad
In Chad, the research project entails carrying out data collection and analysis to monitor the mixed migration consequences of the Sudan conflict, with a particular focus on migrants’ experiences fleeing Sudan, their onward movement decision-making, and needs. The consultant’s responsibilities will include recruitment, in-person training and oversight of enumerators for 4Mi data collection activities in Ouaddaï and Wadi Fira Regions; completion of data collection of 500 4Mi surveys with additional questions (Sudan conflict module); 4Mi descriptive data analysis; drafting of a 4Mi snapshot/infographic; and drafting a PowerPoint presentation based on the infographic/snapshot. The consultant will be accountable for executing research activities adhering to the MMC Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in Chad, in coordination and with support from MMC team members. Since MMC does not have a pre-existing research architecture in Chad, this exercise will serve as a pilot to run 4Mi activities in Chad. Activities will also involve direct liaising and coordinating with UNHCR and a partner organization on the ground in Chad, for support in the roll out of activities.
2) Burundi
In Burundi, the research project entails carrying out data collection and analysis to monitor the experiences, decision-making and needs of Burundian returnees through implementation of the 4Mi Returns survey. The consultant’s responsibilities will include recruitment, in-person training and oversight of enumerators for 4Mi Returns data collection activities in Muyinga, Ruyigi and Makamba Provinces; completion of data collection of 500 4Mi Returns surveys; 4Mi Returns descriptive data analysis; drafting of a data snapshot/infographic; and drafting a PowerPoint presentation based on the snapshot/infographic. The consultant will be accountable for executing research activities adhering to the MMC Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in Burundi, in coordination and with support from MMC team members. MMC has an existing research architecture in Burundi, with this project following a 4Mi Returns pilot conducted in 2023.
