Objectives
The Global Affairs Canada funded Back to School Better project, initiated in September 2020, aimed to increase gender equality and promote the empowerment of refugee and displaced girls in Burkina Faso, the DRC and Mali by addressing the barriers to the personal safety of girls as well as the systemic/cultural barriers they face to realizing their right to education in the context of COVID-19, stemming from social and cultural norms, practices and beliefs, as well as their physical displacement. The project is based on the premise that education helps break the vicious cycle of vulnerability and disadvantage: better educated women marry later; give birth to fewer and healthier children; are more likely to participate in the formal labour market; earn a higher income, and provide better health care and education to their children. Yet little is known about the drivers of education outcomes among displaced populations, nor how they intersect with wider social and gender norms in these contexts, and girl right outcomes other than education, such as early marriage, as well as with access to services. The initial proposal is annexed to this TOR.


This consultancy supports a specific research initiative to advance learnings to assist in the above-mentioned program delivery, and development of next phases and possible extension of programmatic activities. Using existing household data, (primarily MICS and DHS) for all countries in the region where this is readily available over the last 5 years, the consultant will be tasked with:


Presenting a descriptive statistical analysis of the situation of adolescent girls aged 10-19 years in all 24 countries in the region that have recent available data, contrasting displaced and non-displaced populations
Unpacking predictors of a) child marriage (currently married and married before 18,15 years of age) and b) education outcomes (currently enrolled in school and primary school completion) for girls in both populations, and
Developing a bivariate probit, difference in difference or other suitable econometric model of risk factors associated with being currently married or currently enrolled in school.
The deliverables will include (1) a full report including tables, (2) two research briefs designed for wide circulation, and (3) Powerpoint slides.


Scope of work
Secondary data analysis and research using MICS, DHS and other sources in countries where recent household level data is available in the 24 countries of WCA region, with priority to Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Mali.
