BERSAMA GBV Prevention Program in Papua and West PapuaBaseline
Study Winrock International is seeking a
consultant, organization, or university to lead the design and implementation
of a baseline study on Gender based Violence (GBV) in Papua and West Papua, which
will provide information required to inform BERSAMA program strategies aimed at
reducing GBV.  The baseline survey will
be carried out between February and March 2017.Organization
and Project BackgroundWinrock International is a non-profit
organization that works with people around the world to increase economic
opportunity, sustain natural resources, and protect the environment. Winrock
strengthens the capacity of women, children, youth, and civil society organizations
to actively participate in local and national development and to transform
their societies. Winrock International has extensive experience working in
Indonesia.   BERSAMA is a five-year, USAID-funded
program grounded in locally driven strategies to reduce acceptance of GBV;
improve services to GBV survivors; and strengthen local civil society
organizations to increase their voice in the fight against GBV. BERSAMA will be
implemented in Papua and West Papua, with limited engagement in Maluku and North
Maluku on an as-needed basis.Rationale
and ObjectivesThe overall objective of the baseline
study is to understand the social values, attitudes, and practices that
influence the way targeted project communities perceive and respond to GBV, building
on the existing data which have been gathered from previous surveys and
studies. The study results will inform the design and refinement of locally
relevant and effective project strategies for raising awareness about GBV,
positively changing attitudes and behaviors, and improving service provision
for survivors. The baseline study will answer three
primary research questions:1.       What are
the major factors that prevent victims of GBV from seeking or accessing
services?2.       What are
the key social values that influence knowledge, attitudes, and practices and
communication related to GBV and gender equality (both positively and negatively)?3.       What are
the main potential social support system for GBV victims and survivors that can
be developed in conjunction with government services? In addition, the study combines
qualitative and quantitative method in exploring data to establish quantitative
baseline values for select project performance indicators from BERSAMA’s
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Plan, which are listed in Annex
1. This will be the basis of comparison going forward. Study MethodologyThe consultant or
firm is responsible for proposing appropriate study methodology. BERSAMA
anticipates that the methodology will include mixed methods of both qualitative
and quantitative research.  The working
methods for this study involve, but are not limited to, desk review, surveys,
in-depth interviews. Consultants are expected to carry out interviews to
respondents representing village configuration in Kecamatan, gender, and age
groups. BERSAMA staff, with support from Winrock HQ and USAID monitoring and

evaluation (M&E) Experts, will provide significant input on survey design
and methodology for survey administration to ensure best practices for
measuring GBV. Secondary data
should be reviewed to the extent possible from various sources, including the
appropriate government agencies, and other studies conducted in the project
operating areas such as the recently completed USAID-funded UNDP GBV survey in
September 2016; Partners for Prevention (P4P) Qualitative Study on Men’s Life

Experience in Jakarta, Purworejo and Papua in 2014; and Komnas Perempuan Study
on GBV of ‘Anyam Noken’ in 2012. BERSAMA will provide the consultant or
organization with relevant reports. Location: The baseline
survey will take place in the following kapubaten
and kecamatan. Specific survey
locations will be decided in consultation with Winrock. 

  ScheduleThe Baseline survey will be carried out for
six to eight weeks as follows.  The
timeline can be adjusted after mutual agreement between the consultancy firm
