ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) is a civil society coalition bringing together grassroots women’s rights organizations from Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Somaliland, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, and Uganda.

OBJECTIVES OF THE CONSULTANCY

This consultancy aims to produce research product which explores any emerging topic reflecting on a specific manner in which current gender backlash or the anti-rights movement against women and girls is manifesting and impacting women and girls. This could be focused on a specific country in the GHoA or on the region as a whole. In this regard, the possible research product may look at themes related to culture, religion, the regression of legal or institutional protections for women and girls, the interference of foreign actors, the reduced funding for women rights organizations, or any other emerging and novel topic of choice. From the theme and topic selected, the research product must examine the lived experiences of women and girls impacted and best practices in how feminist, women’s rights activists, organizations and coalitions have taken a stand against the form of backlash/ the anti-rights movement. The research product should also map out recommendations and tangible advocacy strategies in lobbying against the specific manifestation of gender backlash or the anti-gender movement examined, towards overall better gender equality outcomes for women and girls. Importantly, the researcher selected will have the flexibility to develop any research product of choice, whether it is a policy paper, a zine, infographics, a documentary or any other form of storytelling using different forms of multi-media.

KEY COMPETENCES AND QUALIFICATIONS

Experience in conducting research on the anti-gender rights movement and gender backlash in any country in the GHoA or regionally. Preference will be given to emerging or early career feminist researchers between the ages of 18 – 35 years old.

In-depth knowledge and understanding of the socio-economic, political and legal context of the country selected to research on/ the GHoA region, particularly the dynamics of violence and its impact on women and girls. Familiarity with the cultural nuances and gender norms prevalent is crucial for contextualizing research product findings accurately.

Ability to conduct gender-sensitive analysis and intersectional assessments, considering factors such as age, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and disability. The candidate should be adept at integrating a gender perspective into research product design, data collection, and analysis to uncover gender disparities and vulnerabilities.

Excellent communication skills, including the ability to articulate complex research findings clearly and concisely. Proficiency in presentation skills is necessary for effectively communicating research product outcomes to diverse stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners, and community members.

Commitment to upholding ethical standards in research, including obtaining informed consent, ensuring confidentiality and anonymity, and prioritizing the well-being of research product participants. The candidate should adhere to ethical guidelines and protocols for research involving vulnerable populations, particularly in conflict-affected contexts.

About the project
J-PAL South Asia is collaborating with the Punjab Police to evaluate efforts to support female officers and institutionalize gender-sensitive practices within the police department. The focus of the study is Punjab Police’s Mahila Mitra (PPMM) program, which created help-desks for women and assigned female officers to staff those desks. The research project examines efforts to “mainstream” the PPMM program within the day-to-day work of the police station through different approaches to training. Using a mixed-methods approach (combining a randomized controlled trial and qualitative research), the study will evaluate the impact of different training modalities (female officers only; female and male officers in different settings; or female and male officers together) on the experiences and job satisfaction of female officers; the perception of female officers within the police; the implementation of the PPPM program, and police responsiveness to women.

Job description
Qualitative research, including observations of and interviews with PPMM officers, will be integrated in all stages of the study, accompanying and complementing the RCT. The Research Associate’s role requires (a) working closely with the Principal Investigators on designing qualitative instruments, piloting them, and using them to conduct in-depth interviews with frontline officers; (b) qualitative analysis and thematic coding of fieldnotes; and (c) working closely with the stakeholders on overseeing the development of the intervention training materials for a full-scale RCT.
The Research Associate will be based in Punjab, working closely with the team of researchers and government counterparts to ensure the successful implementation of both the research and stakeholder engagement components of the project.

Key responsibilities
Qualitative research:

Collaborate in design and lead implementation of qualitative research activities in police stations, including ethnographic observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions.

Work closely with the PIs and the research manager to refine research instruments and protocols.

Ensure accurate transcription, translation, and coding of qualitative data for analysis.

Contribute to qualitative data analysis and synthesis of findings in coordination with PIs.

Draft internal memos, presentations, and sections of reports for both research and policy audiences.

Provide inputs into training material design and dissemination documents based on field insights.

Report to the PIs and the RM on all of the above-mentioned activities and any other work assigned.

Required qualifications
