Search for Common Ground Indonesia seeks a qualified individual to lead a Baseline Assesment of its Conflict Management Training and Media Program, beginning in late January 2009.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Program Summary
Since 2002, SFCG has worked in Indonesia with local civil society organizations (CSOs), media, conflict survivors and others to develop appropriate and innovative conflict transformation initiatives. Over time, SFCG has established strong working
relationships with local officials, community leaders, teachers and schools, religious leaders, and community-based organizations, in Aceh, Central Sulawesi, Papua, Madura, Jakarta, Central and West Kalimantan, and elsewhere.
SFCG works to expand knowledge, change attitudes, perceptions, and behavior, advancing the practice of peace. SFCG recently implemented an EU-funded national Access to Justice Program with the Indonesian Supreme Court. In addition, SFCG has implemented regional initiatives across Indonesia, with programming focused on media for peacebuilding (radio, comics), community based conflict transformation, and State and civil society capacity strengthening.
SFCGI is implementing a program aimed at providing positive messages and behavior models which strengthen the capacity of institutions (particularly prisons, civil society organizations, and media) to foster tolerance, mutual understanding, moderation, violence reduction, and de-radicalization in Indonesian prisons. SFCG is working directly with the Directorate for Corrections within the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, as well as two nationally-recognized NGOs with decades of combined experience in protecting human rights and advancing prison reforms, as well as work to prevent the spread of extremism in Indonesia.
Search for Common Ground Indonesia is a representative office of Search for Common Ground.
1.2 Search for Common Ground
Search for Common Ground (SFCG; www.sfcg.org) is an international, non-governmental organization whose mission is to change the way the world deals with conflict, away from adversarial approaches toward cooperative
solutions. With programs in eighteen countries on five continents, SFCG works with sectors of society that have significant impacts on conflicts including governments, militaries and non-state armed actors, civil society, women, and youth. SFCG¢s methodologies include traditional conflict resolution techniques such as mediation, facilitation and capacity strengthening. The organization also uses media to transform public attitudes on conflict, facilitates practical cooperation projects between traditional adversaries, and uses arts, culture, and sports to bring people together across dividing lines. SFCG has headquarters in Washington DC, USA and Brussels, Belgium.
2. THE BASELINE ASSESSMENT
Organizational Goal:
SFCG, as an organization, has committed to conducting baseline assessments and programmatic evaluations on a regular basis in order to maximize the effectiveness of our programming and engage in continuous improvement and learning within programs and across the organization.
2.1 Baseline Assessment Objectives:
SFCG is developing a Conflict Management Training Curriculum within Indonesian prisons. SFCG will conduct trainings and workshops to build the capacity of prison administrators and guards, and partner organizations, in conflict management. In addition, SFCG will implement a Conflict Management Training Program for prisoners to enhance self-esteem and non-violent life skills. In total, SFCG will train 175 administrators and guards, as well as 175 prisoners, from seven prisons across Indonesia. In the second and third years of program, SFCG will use mass media to promote de-radicalization inside and outside of prisons. This will include production and distribution of diverse media programs including: a video documentary, production and distribution of a 50-episode radio drama, as well as interactive talk shows, quizzes, and public service announcements (PSAs). SFCG will utilize up to 15 national and expatriate staff and volunteers to implement this 3-year initiative.
The objective of the assessment is to establish a baseline (status before project) from which to measure future programmatic impact (evidence that will indicate the purpose has been achieved). The results of the baseline assessment will be reflected in a comprehensive, detailed analytical report that:
i) Provides an up to date status of the skills training programs available in the Indonesian corrections system; this should advise on where the programs are offered and by whom, programs offered, duration of programs, and skills acquired.
ii) Provides information on the immediate skills needs of the Directorate for Corrections.
iii) Provides information on areas for skills training as indentified by the Directorate for Corrections.
iv) Provides approaches to making the skills training program (a) responsive to the training needs of the Directorate for Corrections (b) by prison/region.
v) Provides results of a random sample of persons from the Directorate for Corrections and identified prisons; the areas/issues of conflict within their prison communities; and their views/attitudes and existing capacity towards resolution of those conflicts.
It is expected that the results of the survey will assist SFCG to develop actions at the prison level based on solid empirical data and research information:
- Existing skills training programs and the gaps, if or where these exist;
- Existing skills needs of the Directorate for Corrections, by prison/region;
- Determine the extent of knowledge of Conflict Management techniques among prison administrators, guards, and prisoners, by prison/region;
- Consider institutional arrangements for the program and identify entry points for institutional support.
- Identify risks and assumptions, including but not limited to those foreseen in relation to working with other donors, for instance actions that are conditional upon other donors undertaking certain actions or fulfilling certain obligations, and propose mitigating measures.
Other specific issues to bear in mind while making recommendations include:
·Integration with and/or support to the strengthening of local planning, management and monitoring systems;
· Strengthening accountability mechanisms within law enforcement and corrections institutions;
· Building local capacity;
· Flexibility during implementation to ensure adaptability to external environment;
· Options for support to civil society organisations working on the program;
· Availability of statistical data enabling the development of credible indicators and the setting of a baseline to measure progress in achieving strategic results of the project.
2.3 Audience
The primary audience of this baseline assessment is SFCG program staff, the Directorate of Corrections staff, CSO partner staff, and the program funder. The results will be used for mapping out the implementation of the program, establishing a baseline for future measurement of programmatic success, and for greater organizational learning. Finally, as stipulated in the proposal for this program, the baseline will be used as part of the interim/final evaluation study.
2.4 Assessment Methodology
The SFCG approach to baseline assessments and evaluations is grounded in the guiding principles of our work: participatory; culturally sensitive; committed to building capacity; affirming and positive while honest and productively critical and valuing knowledge and approaches from within the context.
Methodologies and tools to be used in evaluating various program activities may include:
Key informant interviews (donor, partners, participants, government authorities, CSOs, staff);
Facilitated focus-group discussions (FGDs); and Surveys using behavior scenarios/vignettes.
Data collectors will use a variety of statements, including True/False, finish the sentence, scenarios, and other formats, to assess knowledge. Questions will be framed appropriately for education level and context.
