    Terms of Reference for Midline study
    Background
    The goal of the ADSI programme is to consolidate and develop a holistic expansion of the demonstrably successful aspects of its Strengthening Innovative Practice in Secondary Education (SIPSE) pilot model (2013-2015) in relation to its innovation practice, whole school approach, horizontal (geographic) and vertical (institutional) outreach and impact, and shared ownership. The ADSI model presents a portfolio of system- wide ICT innovation elements that can address policy coherence needs for ICT integration in teaching and learning – inclusive of: a blended learning teacher development approach, whole school involvement, school leadership capacity building, converging technologies of e- and m-learning, use and development of open education resources, an online repository of materials, digital school awards, accreditation and certification to incentivize ICT integration and progression, policy dialogues to raise awareness and influence new policy formulation and institutionalization of new/good practice. Currently, ADSI covers 80 schools (20 in each of the four counties of Kiambu, Nyamira, Narok & Taita Taveta), 80 secondary school principals, 800 teachers and 80 Boards of Management chairpersons and 80 parents association chairpersons.
    In Kenya, a baseline study was carried out in quarters 3 &4 of 2016 to inform the project and set the benchmarks upon which the project would be monitored and evaluated. The project has been running for more than one and a half years now in Kenya which is an opportune time to carry out a midline study. The study will help ADSI with the evidences, insights on the extent of achievement of objectives, factors that facilitate and impede the progress, and provide recommendations for midcourse corrections, if any.
    Midline objectives
    The overall objective of the midline study is to assess whether and/or the extent to which targets have been achieved thus far in the project, understand the determinants enabling and/or disabling achievement of targets, the extent of ownership built among the target groups, capture key learnings from the implementation experience and recommend doable actions for the remaining project period.
    Specific evaluation objectives are to:

    Assess the project progress/changes (since baseline) of the project so far and its likelihood of achieving its stated objectives (more than a year since implementation began) on the following aspects;
    Institutionalization: Investigate the current level of institutionalization of national strategies for the pedagogical integration of ICT use in STEM and other subject teaching as related to policy in teacher development, curriculum, pre and –in service, school support and management practices
    Digital Schools Development: Establish the current conditions, needs, resources and priorities of the schools in relation to ICT in STEM teaching and learning
    Teacher Development: Establish changes in teacher competencies and practices for ICT use in STEM since baseline
    Student Learning: Measure learner 21st century skills and other learner achievements in relation to STEM subjects and gather feedback on their experiences and attitudes towards the use of ICT in STEM learning inside and outside of schools.
    Assess the ADSI programme in terms of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency of project implementation and level of ownership by project beneficiaries and other actors
    Assess the ADSI programme in terms of effectiveness of networking with the different stakeholders for optimal leveraging of resources and sustainability benefits.
    Document lessons on what works/doesn’t work in the implementation of ADSI approach and Theory of Change.
    Generate practical, action-able recommendations that can be implemented by the project actors in the remaining phase of the project.

    The proposed Methodology and Approach
    As was the case with the baseline, a mixed method approach employing both qualitative and quantitative techniques in the collection of data will be used:
    Data collection will be carried out using five different approaches:

    Desk Review: A thorough assessment of relevant existing project documentation including project conceptual documents, progress reports, work plans, activity reports, available data, monitoring frameworks, etc. will be carried out.
    Observation: Observations will be carried out at the school level to collect administrative data, audit the level of ICT infrastructure and equipment at the selected schools and observe classroom practices.
    Quantitative survey (a representative sample of the population of students, teachers): A representative survey to help provide a clearer/specific picture from the target group. Surveys allow for a comprehensive acquisition and aggregation of statistical data that is easy to analyze and interpret. The statistical representation will also allow for segmentation and sub cluster analysis of the data collected.
    Focus Group Discussions (At least 6 in each of the counties): To complement the data, this study will also employ a qualitative approach to data collection, and fieldwork in the form of focus group discussions (FGDs) with carefully selected members of the populations (teachers, students, EWG members, BoM members, etc.).
    Key Informants In-Depth Interviews (Approximately 10 each of the counties): It will also be important to understand the perspectives of the various stakeholders in an in-depth manner. Key Informant Interviews will be carried out with: SBCs, HTs, representatives of key agencies/partners, government representatives, etc. The decision on who to be interviewed will be made jointly with ADSI project team.

    CONTEXT
    Accessing locally relevant child and maternal health information is a major problem for African women. The Internet has the power to change this. Over 100 million mothers in Africa are picking up their smartphones to learn about pregnancy and childbirth. However, in Kenya alone, the millions of monthly online searches for ‘pregnancy’ or ‘baby’ result in virtually no articles or video content created locally. Most of what African women are consuming today online is tailored to Western audiences whose healthcare realities, educational systems and everyday challenges differ vastly.
    We are seeking a motivated and results-driven digital Content Specialist with strong writing skills who will thrive in a fast-paced environment. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual who wants to work as part of a skilled team to gain valuable experience.
    The Content Developer will have the opportunity to write and produce various types of shareable pregnancy and parenting related content. The position requires a high level of creativity, attention to detail and enthusiasm. Your role will be as much learning as it is doing. Here at MumsVillage, we truly believe in fostering potential of the individual and having a good time while doing it.
    What you’ll be doing:

    Writing articles on a daily basis related to parenting
    Research, develop and curate various types of relatable content for use on our website, on social media outlets that inspire and entertain our audience and support our marketing goals
    Identify opportunities for content promotion and content partnerships with various publishers, brands and blogs online
    Prepare analytical reports to identify effective marketing growth hacks
    Editing/proofreading content to ensure it meets quality standards
    Aid in developing a database of industry resources.

    Outstanding writing and editing skills.
    Understanding of digital media channels and content distribution.
