Tenders Are Invited For Endline Data Collection For Rigorous Impact Evaluation (Rie)

Tenders are invited for Endline Data Collection for Rigorous Impact Evaluation (RIE). Project Title: Strengthening Inclusive Local Governance and Vertical Social Cohesion in Lebanon Background: The Berghof Foundation (BF), in partnership with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin (WZB), is implementing a Rigorous Impact Evaluation (RIE) for the project Strengthening Inclusive Local Governance and Vertical Social Cohesion in Lebanon. This seeks to assess how participatory planning and decision-making processes at the municipal level impact trust between citizens and local governments, as well as enhance vertical social cohesion. A baseline study was conducted in 24 municipalities in the past months. To assess the impact of the intervention, an end line study will be commissioned to assess whether and how trust levels have been impacted as a result of the project intervention. Objective of the Assignment: The purpose of this assignment is to contract a survey firm to: Conduct endline data collection in the 24 municipalities to assess socio-economic conditions, trust in local governance, and willingness to engage in participatory processes. Provide high-quality, anonymized data to support robust quantitative and qualitative analysis following a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Scope of Work The contracted firm will be responsible for the following tasks: Preparation Phase: Review and validate survey tools and protocols provided by BF and WZB. Translate survey instruments into Arabic (if needed) and pilot test tools in the target areas. Lead training sessions for enumerators on data collection protocols and enumerator guidelines with support from WZB researchers. Sampling and Recruitment: Conduct end-line surveys with the individuals who took part in the working groups across 24 municipalities (15 per municipality). In addition, enumerators will contact control group members to survey them (also 15 per municipality). Overall 30 people per municipality will be surveyed i.e. N = 720. Please note that the lists of people to be contacted will be shared with the enumerators i.e. they will not randomly select people to survey, so additional effort will be required to reach the appropriate respondents. Endline Data Collection: Deploy trained enumerators to conduct household surveys and key informant interviews in the 24 municipalities. Ensure data is collected using conflict-sensitive, inclusive, and ethical approaches, adhering to Do No Harm principles. Document socio-economic conditions, attitudes toward local governance, and social cohesion indicators. Data Management and Reporting: Submit cleaned, high-quality, anonymized data in a format agreed upon with BF and WZB. Provide a report summarizing key findings, recruitment challenges, and observations from the field. Tender Link : https://www.daleel-madani.org/calls-for-proposal
