Gap & Power (GAP) Analysis
A GAP analysis examines gender inequalities, power hierarchies, and forms of
discrimination and marginalization. It intentionally seeks to identify how
systems of oppression intersect and impact people’s access to resources and
opportunities within the communities where Save the Children works. The GAP
analysis builds upon previous gender analysis frameworks and gender and power
analyses developed by donors, NGOs, and practitioners. It highlights gender as
a leading power imbalance since it is used to in every country and community to
organize social interactions, relations, and institutions.
The objectives of GAP are:
1.
Identify barriers, risks, unequal power relations, and forms of
marginalization, discrimination, and exclusion that perpetuate gender and
social inequality for our targeted Next Gen children ages 12-15 on their
education and learning opportunities for the future of work and for our
targeted Youth with Disabilities / YwD) ages 16-24 on their education and
employment opportunities.
2.
Analyze and explain how systems of oppression intersect shape educational and
employment opportunities and life choices of Next Gen children ages 12-15 and
YwD ages 16-24.
3.
Understand existing efforts that addresses existing barriers faced by Next Gen
children and Youth with Disabilities.
4.
Develop concrete recommendations to:
* increase equitable access, participation, and benefits of program
activities
* mitigate potential unintended negative consequences and do no harm,
* address key barriers to youth accessing quality education and decent work
such as social stigma against youth with disabilities.
Given the nature of the project, we have selected a few priority sectoral
research questions to guide the GAP analysis and narrow its focus. For GG7
project, the GAP Analysis will look at the following.
Research Goals for GG7 Project
1. Have a deeper understanding of the gender and social inequalities
prevalent in schools and communities we work in and the forms of
marginalization, discrimination, and exclusion Next Generation children ages
12-15 and youth (or YwD) ages 16-24 experience.
2. Identify gender and social inequalities program barriers(?) participants
might face in accessing and participating in S2S programs and reaching program
objectives.
3. Identify key partners and stakeholders to support efforts addressing
gender/social inequalities (i.e. local women's rights organizations, disability
groups, etc.).
4. Create actionable recommendations to inform GAP strategy and program
adaptations.
5. Design GAP strategy based on the results of the GAP analysis and conduct
action planning sessions with SC staff, implementing partners and key community
stakeholders.
6. Create at least one gender transformative intervention or action based on
the GAP Strategy and implement. In addition, all program activities will be
refined to ensure that they are not causing harm, exacerbating inequalities and
to ensure that necessary accommodations are in place to allow equitable access
and participation in the project.
7. Informing the GG7 MEAL activities, approaches and or methodologies,
including project documentation (e.g., data segregation by age, gender, type of
disabilities).
Consultancy
In ensuring the objectivity and the efficiency of this study, SC Indonesia
needs extra support from consultant to make the process run well and meet the
expected objective in this study.
1. Objective
The objectives of consultants in this study are:
a) To provide the technical advice in formulating the methodology study and
data collection into research protocol report
b) To conduct a desk review of GG7 gender studies literatures including some
gender and disability study/research reports
c) To develop research protocol and data collection tool
d) To collect and analyze primary data and generate the findings, using GAP
analysis tool. We will conduct Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for 3 group types:
Youth with Disabilities, Parents, Stakeholders in Education or Employment. We
could not make decision yet at this stage on the number of FGD that will be
conducted. While for Key Informant Interview (KII), the number of KII could be
decided once FGD completed.
e) To develop the study report and provide recommedations for YSTC’s future
programming
f) To revise the study report based on feedback from the broader team and
member-checking with beneficiaries/stakeholders
g) To facilitate action plan session(s)
h) To write GAP Strategy based on GAP Analysis findings and recommendations
along with input from action planning session(s)
i) To revise the GAP Strategy based on feedback from the broader team and
member-checking with beneficiaries/stakeholders
2. Scope of Work
A consultant will be dedicated to analyze the research/study. There is only one
location involved, it is Bandung City in West Java province. The person is
responsible to contextualize adapting the tools into the needs, test the tool,
and provide capacity building for SC staff to use the tool. S/he will work
(together with SC team) to conduct Focus Group Discussion (FGD) sessions in the
intervention areas and for younger youth ages 12-15 could use triad interviews
or one-on-one interviews to make them more comfortable, to understand the
process and the context of the community, followed by in depth interview. The
person will also analyze the findings, compose the report, and provide the
recommendation. If resources permit (time, people etc), SC will try to adapt
the tools ourselves, then as we plan to use mixed research method, thus
quantitative data will be collected first through survey to 90-100 target with
10% margin of error.
3. Criteria for consultant selection based on competency and experience
We will asses the consultant qualifications based on the following criterias:
a. Demonstrated capacity including familiarity with gender and disability
issues including the use of social norm exploration tools and successful
experience in conducting similar
b. Expertise in the topic of Education & Employment for Youth with Disability
c. The qualifications of the experts—with require skill and experiences at
least for the team leader:
• Master’s degree in Gender Studies, Disability, or related discipline such
as sociology, anthropology, international development.
• More than 5 years of professional work experience, as technical expert
and advisor in gender equality in development programmes and/or project
• Experience and knowledge on gender and/or disability studies
d. Value for money
Research Methodology by considering Covid-19 pandemic situation in Indonesia
Given the fact that Indonesia has not reached its peak for Covid-19 cases, and
Bandung city has been categorized into orange zone, so it is still dangerous to
do any fieldwork during this pandemic situation. Therefore, GG7 would consider
safer options to do data collection through online surveys, online discussion
platforms such as through zoom meeting and Whats App group, phone interviews,
focus group discussion, recordings, videos, and photovoice. We may also try
written diaries, journal entries, etc if proven to be effective and possible.
GAP Analysis Deliverables
a. Literature review for context*
b. Research protocol with data collection tools*
c. Raw data (i.e. from surveys, interview/Focus Group notes, interview/Focus
Group transcripts, recordings, journal entries, photos (if using PhotoVoice))
d. Draft and final report – required report components includes:*
o Introduction
o Executive Summary
o Background [with some information from the literature review]
o Methodology
o Key Findings and Implications
o Recommendations [as the basis for the GAP Strategy that will be created later]
e. Facilitate Validation Workshops
f. Facilitate action planning session(s)
g. Write GAP Strategy based on GAP Analysis findings and recommendations along
with input from action planning session(s)*
*All deliverables will be written in English, except Raw Data and Action
Planning sessions
