    Research consultancy about funding of Kenyan children’s institutions

    Background
    The Changing The Way We Care (CTWWC) consortium, composed of CRS, Maestral and Lumos, are carrying out a research project about the funding of children’s institutions in Kenya. The project is led and implemented by Lumos. This research aims to identify the key actors and networks supporting privately-run as well as statutory children’s institutions in the country and to assess the scale and dynamics of their funding. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, the research analyses the various funding streams that currently operate within Kenya, including private, public, NGO, secular and faith-based funders, both domestically and internationally.
    Purpose and objectives
    The purpose of this research consultancy is to undertake and lead on a discrete research project, which will sit within the broader research as outlined above. The consultancy research project focuses on the funding analysis of the Kenyan institutional childcare system at the national, county and institution level. The Consultant is expected to deliver high-quality research across these three levels:

    National and county level: Mixed-methods analysis of financial streams, policies and attitudes towards children’s institutions within Kenyan funding and policy circles, both at the national level and across four different counties. This comprises government ministries and agencies as well as faith-based and secular organisations and networks. This includes data requests, key informant interviews, a two-week ‘deep dive’ with CTWWC staff into Kenyan government entities and critical appraisal of the findings.
    Institution level: Primary quantitative data collection by carrying out a survey in a sample of children’s institutions across four different counties.The Consultant is responsible for the progress, timely delivery and quality of the data collection and analysis for this research project. They will manage the entire research process, including the coordination and supervision of a research team, and assure coherence between the different methods. The Consultant will prepare the data collection process, including induction and training. Throughout the research process, they will be closely supported by Lumos and are not expected to build a research design and methodology from scratch. The Consultant will keep the contact person at Lumos continuously up-to-date on the progress, findings and any challenges that may arise.

    OutputsThere are two main outputs:

    Detailed planning and schedule for a two-week ‘deep dive’ with CTWWC staff into various key stakeholders in national funding and policy circles.
    Final report with annexes covering the methodology, findings, analysis, discussion, conclusion and recommendations of the quantitative and qualitative research at the national, county and institution level, including copies and notes of conducted surveys, interviews, meetings and other communications. The report will be written in English. A draft report will be submitted for review and feedback before the report is finalised. The main text of the report shall not exceed 40 pages, not including the annexes and executive summary.See Annexe I for an overview of the preliminary research activities of this consultancy project.
