Annex 2 — TERMS OF REFERENCE
FOR THE CONSULTANCY CONTRACT OF: Senior Consultant on Data & Analytics Capacity Building (Qualitative Data)
- 1. Duty Station of the Consultancy: Kyiv, Ukraine
- Duration of Consultancy: 7 months, with possibility of extension subject to availability of funds and satisfactory job performance.
- Nature of the consultancy: Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM) and the direct supervision of the Project Specialist (Evidence-based Governance) of IOM’s Data & Analytics Unit, the Senior Consultant will develop a training program for personnel from local government and civil society organizations on data collection and analysis (qualitative data), as well as conduct trainings and providing mentorship support to participants with the assitance of the Consultant on Data & Analytics Capacity Building. The Senior Consultant will also be responsible for the training process overall to ensure that trainings feed into evidence-based programming.
- 3. Project Context and Scope:
Eleven years after the onset of hostilities in 2014, Ukraine continues to navigate a complex, dynamic path toward nationwide socio-economic recovery and decentralization. Since the major escalation in 2022, the capacities of hromadas to assess and address community needs have varied and are often insufficient. Locally led recovery therefore requires targeted support at the hromada level to strengthen inclusive governance and evidence-based decision-making, including for the effective targeting and coordination of interventions.
Resource scarcity and limited employment opportunities—across rural and urban areas—have fuelled tensions and perceptions that the needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees are prioritized over those of long-term residents who often face similar socio-economic challenges. A further pressure point is the reintegration of veterans (former combatants), who, during the transition from military to civilian life, must regain socio-economic independence and re-establish psychological and physical well-being to reintegrate peacefully. Current public services provide uneven access to inclusive economic opportunities and often insufficient, specialized psychosocial support tailored to veterans' needs.
Through the proposed intervention, IOM aims to bolster the stability of conflict-affected communities by promoting evidence-based, community-driven actions that support social cohesion and veteran reintegration.
To advance hromada-driven recovery that strengthens resilience and promotes durable solutions, IOM is organizing training on evidence-based situation analysis, with an emphasis on locally conducted qualitative research (e.g., focus group discussions). Based on assessed capacities and needs of communities and local organisations, the Senior Consultant will supervise and coordinate the planning and implementation of training activities that build local capacity for gender-, age-, and disability-disaggregated data collection and analysis, aligned with international standards and IOM’s internal toolbox. This will enhance the generation and use of evidence for recovery-related decision-making.
These activities will help strengthen local resilience and support the development of locally defined recovery plans that are empirically grounded and continually adapted to changing contexts and needs. Training content and pedagogy will be tailored to the Ukrainian local context.
The Senior Consultant, supported by the Consultant on Data & Analytics Capacity Building, will coordinate and deliver all training. Materials and sessions will target the following learning objectives:
- Understand foundational principles of qualitative and quantitative methods and select appropriate data-collection tools for local practice.
- Prepare and conduct household surveys, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions.
- Collect and manage gender-, age-, and disability-disaggregated data sensitively and inclusively.
- Apply basic techniques for data cleaning, analysis, and responsible data sharing.
- Adhere to confidentiality, informed consent, and data-protection principles and guidelines.
- Translate data insights into local decision-making in line with authorities' responsibilities under decentralization.
- Recognize how data and analytics can improve local administrative planning and recovery operations.
Two training programmes with following mentorship support are planned: one for organisations supporting veteran reintegration and one for five selected hromadas.
