Mixed-Methods Policy Research Project

I need an experienced team—or an individual comfortable wearing several hats—to carry out a rigorous mixed-methods study that informs policy and market decisions in the development sector. You will be expected to design the research framework, collect and analyse both qualitative and quantitative data, and translate the findings into clear, actionable recommendations for decision-makers.

Scope
• Research focus: policy or market dynamics affecting development initiatives
• Methods: literature review, key-informant interviews, focus groups, surveys, and statistical analysis (feel free to propose other robust techniques)
• Output: a concise report with an executive summary, methodology section, data visualisations in Excel/SPSS/R, and practical recommendations

Timing
Everything—fieldwork, analysis, and a polished final report—needs to be wrapped up within one month of contract start.

How to apply
