JOB DESCRIPTION : 

Media Initiatives Center invites a Researcher/Analyst to design and conduct a baseline study for its newly launched Initiative for Media Quality and Resilience project. The goal of the study is to map the situation in the media landscape with respect to the project objectives, targets and activities. The study will not report on the general situation in the sector, but will rather help the project team tailor the activities towards achieving the project objectives and to have a baseline information which will later allow to assess the impact of the project.
Through this study, Media Initiatives Center seeks proposals for adjusting the action to better match the needs of the sector and thus to have a greater impact. The findings will be used to recalibrate planned activities in line with feedback received. The geographical coverage will include the country at large. However, no travel will be required at this stage. The study will apply qualitative methods, including interviews and focus groups with target groups of the project, as well as desk research of project documents, research reports, and other related materials. Qualitative methods will help to answer evaluation questions, as well as to track project outcome and output indicators not covered by quantitative survey. The deliverables include draft and final reports to be presented in English, not to exceed 25 pages (excluding annexes) and containing Executive Summary, Methodology, Findings, and Recommendations.
