Endline survey and field data collection

Plan International’s Climate Change Adaptation with and for Children in SE Asia Project

The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety BMU and implemented from October 2015 until December 2018.

Purpose of the Data collection
The purpose of this consultancy is to collect data to provide empirical evidence for the analysis of the final evaluation. The focus will be to measure the achievement of outcome indicators for the project in the target region in Thailand. The consultant will work closely with the lead/international evaluator who is responsible for the overall evaluation of the project in all three countries.

Focus of the Data Collection In Thailand,
the project is implemented in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai Province see Annex 1 for project area details. The project aims to reach 8,200 people in 16 villages and 26 schools in collaboration with local stakeholders from government and civil society sectors.

Based on the methodology, both qualitative and quantitative, designed by the international evaluator, the consultant is tasked to cover a most diverse and representative sample for the data collection as possible. Among them should be:

-Participants of trainings aggregated by age group1 and gender
-Participants of awareness-raising events aggregated by age group and gender
-Government officials/ local authority staff
-Beneficiaries of seed grant activities on school and community level aggregated by age group and gender

In determining the sample size, consider a margin of error of /-5-7.

Methodology
The lead international evaluator will develop the detailed methodology of the data collection which is to be applied in all three countries involved aiming at comparability of the data. While the international evaluator will provide the methodology for data collection sample, methodology, etc., the local surveyor is expected to provide relevant inputs based on Thailand context and conduct field data collection in the targeted areas.

Close coordination with the project team of Plan International as well as the field data collectors from other countries involved will be crucial to facilitate data collection for the project evaluation.
