• Description:
• Tenders are invited for Impact Evaluation of a Livelihoods Support Intervention in Nigeria Across sub-Saharan Africa, womens labor market outcomes lag behind their male counterparts. Some of the reasons underlying this gap include, but not limited to, limited access to education, skills, and information among women, restrictive social norms, discrimination on behalf of employers and institutions. Further, in contexts where the HIV/AIDS epidemic is prevalent, womens participation in the workforce could be even lower due to poor health, stigma, and the added burden of caring for HIV-infected children and/or other family members. In this light, offering training in marketable vocational skills, alongside improving access to capital and social networks can help boost womens labor market outcomes. The World Bank Africa Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) is designing an RCT evaluation that seeks to assess the effect of a vocational program offered by Pro-Health International (PHI) to women affected by HIV/AIDS in Bauchi and Adamawa states of Nigeria. The evaluation will measure the impact of the vocational program in strengthening womens socio-economic outcomes, as well as the impact of add-on interventions to the program. The added interventions include transfer of a productive assets, a buddy program, , and a gender norms training offered to women partici0ating in the vocational training program as well as their partners. As part of a rigorous evaluation of this intervention, GIL is looking for a qualified contractor to conduct a baseline survey of program beneficiaries and a comparison group. Approximately 3900 households will be surveyed across 15 LGAs from rural Bauchi and Adamawa states. The LGAs from Bauchi state are Bogoro, Dass, Tafawa Balewa, Toro, Ningi, Misau, and Katagum. The LGAs in Adamawa state are Numan, Demsa, Fufore, Girei, Gombi, Hong, Mayo-belwa, and Song. The survey will include modules on socio-economic characteristics, such as labor force participation, earnings and savings, housing conditions and asset ownership, time use, household composition, intra-household decision making, social capital, psychological wellbeing, health outcomes, attitudes towards gender norms, HIV, and gender-based violence. Working under the supervision of the World Bank, the selected firm will be expected to: (i) pilot questionnaires, edit them as needed, translate and back-translate them, and program them into a CAPI software (ii) develop a high-quality system of data collection; (iii) hire, contract, and pay interviewers, supervisors, data editors and back checkers; (iv) collect data from respondents in the sample provided by the GIL research team using tablets; (v) organize field visits, high-frequency checks of the incoming data, and regular questionnaire backchecks throughout the duration of the survey to ensure the quality of data collected; (vi) deliver raw data to the GIL research team every 3 days throughout the data collection period, in a format compatible with STATA; (vii) deliver a report on the overall progress of the data collection, data compilation, backup methods and data processing, and a final clean STATA-compatible dataset.
