Local-level consultant – Data collector for the mapping of interventions in The Gambia, Guinea, and Senegal under Outcome 4 of IOM’s Safety, Support and Solutions Central Mediterranean Programme (SSS-CMR)
1. Principal and specific objectives of the mapping
The main objective of the mapping of development interventions in Guinea, The Gambia and Senegal is to provide a database for the forthcoming research programme supported by IOM in the frame of the Phase II of the Department for International Development’s (DFID), ‘Safety, Support and Solutions’ (SSS) in the Central Mediterranean Route (CMR).
The study will be undertaken in the three target countries by a research partner and will study how development interventions influence migration decision making and how decisions to migrate are affected by context, time and intermediary variables (such as gender, migration history of the family, etc.).
The specific objectives of the mapping exercise are to:
· provide a comprehensive data base of future, ongoing and recently closed interventions in Guinea, The Gambia and Senegal that could be relevant for the research study (the methodology of the mapping of development interventions is detailed in par. 3).
· identify key stakeholders in the development domain in the three target countries.
· identify existing or planned research on development and/or migration decision making in Guinea, The Gambia and Senegal.
· map local partners engaged in community-based interventions (Civil Society Organisations or Community Based Organisations).
· identify if there are communities with existing development plans that have been reached through a community-based approach. Development plans in this instance means a set of priorities that have been identified by the community.
