As part of the Decent Work in Garment Supply Chains Asia (DWGSCA) project, funded by the Swedish International Development Corporation Agency (SIDA), a major study – Building Back Better: Achieving Environmental Sustainability and Gender Equality in post COVID-19 in the garment sector in Asia – will be undertaken in 2021.

Objectives

The objective of this assignment is to provide in-country research support for the conduct of the Building Back Better: Achieving Environmental Sustainability and Gender Equality in post Covid-19 in the garment sector in Asia study. One local consultant will be selected for each country covered in the study (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Viet Nam). The study will use a Delphi method with the objective to identify and establish consensus on how gender equality and environmental sustainability can be enhanced in the garment sector. Participants in the study will be drawn from ILO constituent groups (workers’ organisations, employers’ organisations and government) and related stakeholders.

The assignment will involve:

• Conducting interviews with stakeholders (over 2 rounds 15-20 stakeholders, total 30-40 interviews);
• Providing transcripts and analysis of interviews (including translation into English where required);
• Providing inputs into the drafting of synthesis and final reports including translation into/ from English, where required – this includes providing summary findings of country level interviews for the synthesis report, and translating (where needed) the synthesis report (max 5 pages) for stakeholders ahead of round 2 interviews;
• Participation in results reporting and knowledge sharing activities (1-2 presentations of results).

The consultant will be supported by colleagues in the wider DWGSCA in identifying contacts for interviews, interview method and questions, formats for analysis, reports and presentations. The consultant will be one of a regional team – 5 consultants (one for each focus country) and well as 3 colleagues at the regional project level. Participation in regular project meetings will also form part of this assignment.
