Child protection/ Children’s rights GBV / VAWG
Background
Child sexual violence (CSV) remains a significant global challenge, yet the evidence base for effective prevention interventions remains limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are often considered the gold standard for evaluation, they are not always feasible, affordable, or ethical in many settings where CSV prevention programmes operate.

There is growing recognition that quasi-experimental designs can provide rigorous and policy-relevant evidence and in some contexts, they can be the more appropriate choice. Depending on the question and the setting, they can be more ethical, quicker to field, or feasible where randomisation is not possible or not justified. They are not, however, always cheaper. Several of these designs depend on good baseline, time-series or administrative data and can be demanding to do well. What the CSV field currently lacks is practical guidance on which alternative evaluation approaches are most appropriate for different intervention types and implementation settings.

As part of its broader programme of work to strengthen child sexual violence research and outcome measurement, SVRI seeks to commission a review of quasi-experimental evaluation designs applicable to CSV prevention interventions.

Purpose of the Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to review and synthesise evidence on quasi-experimental evaluation approaches for CSV prevention interventions and to provide practical guidance for researchers, practitioners, and funders. The question we are trying to answer is what study designs we can use when we cannot run an RCT.

The review should:

Identify evaluation designs currently used in CSV prevention research

Identify quasi-experimental designs that show promise in CSV, violence prevention, or allied areas of practice

Assess the methodological strengths and limitations of different approaches

Consider feasibility, affordability, ethical considerations, and implementation challenges in LMIC settings

Develop practical recommendations on selecting appropriate evaluation designs for different intervention contexts with suggestions for research design for CSV intervention research

Strengthen the field’s ability to evaluate CSV prevention rigorously where individuals or groups cannot be randomly assigned to the intervention.

Scope of Work
The consultant(s) will undertake the following:
Evidence Review
Critical Assessment
Guidance for the Field
Stakeholder Engagement and Knowledge Sharing

Deliverables
The consultant(s) will be expected to deliver:

Inception Paper

Draft Evidence Review

Practical Guidance

4. Final Evidence Review
5. Research Briefs
6. Presentation Slide Deck

Qualifications and Experience
The ideal consultant(s) or team will have:

Advanced degree in public health, social sciences, evaluation, or a related field

Expertise in evaluation methodology

Experience conducting systematic or methodological reviews

Experience in violence prevention, child protection, or public health research

Familiarity with LMIC contexts

Strong analytical and writing skills

Experience translating technical evidence into accessible products.

Partnerships or collaborations involving LMIC-based researchers or institutions are strongly encouraged.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI) Movement building
Organizational Context
Founded by two Black women in the aftermath of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests around the world, the African Futures Lab (AfaLab) works to advance demands for racial justice for Africans and Afro-descended people globally. African Futures Lab is an Afro-feminist organisation committed to fostering an equitable, collaborative and inclusive workplace.

We pursue the recognition and repair of global racial injustices through rigorous, empirically grounded knowledge exchange across Africa and Europe. Our work includes research, "Mobilization Labs" with partner organizations, and advocacy.

Our work aims to bolster activists and policymakers in holding states and private actors accountable for the enduring effects of colonialism and slavery in Europe and Africa. Our current projects focus on the intersections of racial justice with gender rights, climate justice, and socio-economic inequalities.

As the African Union Decade of Reparations (2026-2036) begins, AfaLab is working alongside partners across Africa and Europe to help shape evidence-informed dialogue, strengthen advocacy and contribute to advancing reparatory justice. This is a pivotal moment for the movement, and an exciting time to join our team! Learn more about AfaLab on our website
(external link)or follow us on Instagram
(external link)and LinkedIn
(external link).
About the Role
We are looking for a strategic, creative, and highly collaborative Communications Lead to lead the implementation of AfaLab's new communications strategy.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape how a growing organization working at the forefront of racial and reparative justice communicates its work, influences public discourse, and strengthens its profile across Africa and Europe.

This role combines strategic communications leadership with hands-on execution. Working closely with the Executive Director, program teams and external partners, the Communications Lead will translate AfaLab's communications strategy into action, embed it across the organization’s work, continuously refine it and ensure AfaLab’s communications advance its mission and advocacy objectives.
What Impact You'll Make
As Communications Lead, you will play a central role in shaping how African Futures Lab is seen, heard and understood.

You will bring our new communications strategy to life, ensuring our research, advocacy, campaigns and partnerships reach and influence the right audiences. By translating complex ideas into compelling narratives, you will strengthen AfaLab's visibility, deepen our engagement with partners and policymakers, and contribute to changing the narrative on racial justice and reparations across Africa and Europe.

Success in this role will be measured not only by the quality of communications outputs, but by their strategic impact, influence, and contribution to AfaLab's mission.

Required Qualifications

Master's degree in Ccommunications, Journalism, Political Science, International Relations or another relevant field, or equivalent professional experience.

At least 5 years of relevant, professional experience in communications

Demonstrated experience implementing communications strategies and leading integrated communications campaigns.
