1. Background Information on Plan International

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 75 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

2. Background/Context

The Liberia Women Empowerment Project (LWEP), implemented by Plan International Liberia and funded by the World Bank, is a transformative initiative designed to address the deep-rooted gender disparities that have been exacerbated by decades of civil conflict, health crises, and economic instability in Liberia. The project aims to improve the social and economic conditions of women and girls across 498 communities in six counties: Rural Montserrado, Bomi, Grand Cape Mount, Gbarpolu, River Cess, and Grand Gedeh. These regions have been particularly affected by systemic inequalities and limited access to basic services, especially in education and health. LWEP’s runs from July 2022 to June 30, 2027 with an overarching goal to foster positive social norm change, enhance livelihood opportunities, and strengthen the institutional capacity of the Government of Liberia to promote gender equality. The project focuses on enhancing basic services in health and education, with a particular emphasis on addressing barriers to girls’ education such as early marriage, adolescent pregnancy, and socio-cultural norms that hinder school attendance and completion. Through a combination of community engagement, policy advocacy, and capacity building, LWEP seeks to create an enabling environment for girls and women to thrive. The project adopts an intersectional and inclusive approach, ensuring that interventions are responsive to the diverse needs of marginalized groups. By integrating climate disaster risk reduction and anticipatory action models, LWEP also aims to build resilience within schools and communities. Ultimately, the project contributes to national efforts to achieve gender equality and sustainable development in Liberia.

3. Description & Objectives

Purpose Clearly outline Plan International’s Primary Purpose of the project/consultancy work, listing the specific reasons for carryout out the Consultancy.

The primary purpose of this consultancy is to generate evidence that informs program design, enhances accountability, and measures impact. Specifically, the consultancy will contribute to the following objectives:

Methodology/ Questions You will need to develop and define questions that help focus what exactly the objectives of the consultancy are, including the processes or methodology of the questions. Depending on the purpose of your project/consultancy questions might begin with ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘which’ or ‘how’. You should avoid questions that can be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’. The consultancy will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis. The methodology includes literature and policy reviews, stakeholder engagement, interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys.

The guiding questions include:

• What are the key barriers preventing girls from accessing and completing secondary education?
• How do climate-related, socio-cultural, and economic factors influence girls’ education?
• How are different sub-groups of girls e.g. married, young mothers, those from specific ethnicities experiencing barriers to education? How do different demographic barriers intersect to compound existing vulnerabilities?
• What are the enabling factors that support girls’ transition and retention in school?

This approach will allow for contextualization and triangulation of data and provide a deeper understanding of the complex factors affecting girls’ education.Types of Data to be collectedThe following types of data will be collected and analyzed:

• Quantitative and Qualitative data from surveys administered to stakeholders including students, teachers, and community members.
• Qualitative data from in-depth interviews with program participants, educators, local leaders, and local, district and national stakeholders.

Geographic ScopeData collection will be conducted across six counties: Rural Montserrado, Bomi, Grand Cape Mount, Gbarpolu, River Cess, and Grand Gedeh. A minimum of 10 to 15 communities per county will be targeted to ensure adequate representation.Participant selection Outline who is expected to be included and participating, for example this may include representatives from key stakeholders, subject matter experts or technical leads. As well as community groups, children or young people, experts, government authorities, leaders etc. It is also helpful to provide information here on whether Plan International can facilitate access to these groups (Include communication plan if possible), RASCI matrix, or whether it is expected that the consultant identifies and suggest participant involvement. The participant selection process for the Barriers to Girls Education Assessment under the Liberia Women Empowerment Project (LWEP) is guided by the Terms of Reference and aims to ensure inclusivity, representation, and relevance. Participants are selected using a purposive and representative sampling approach to capture diverse perspectives across the six implementation counties: Rural Montserrado, Bomi, Grand Cape Mount, Gbarpolu, River Cess, and Grand Gedeh. The assessment targets a broad range of stakeholders including adolescent girls, parents and caregivers, teachers, school administrators, community leaders, education officers and national stakeholders. These groups are selected to provide comprehensive insights into the multifaceted barriers affecting girls’ access to, retention in, and completion of secondary education. Plan International Liberia plays a central role in facilitating access to these participants by leveraging its established networks and partnerships with local communities, schools, and government institutions. The organization ensures that ethical considerations are upheld and that participants are engaged in a safe and respectful manner. The selection process includes identifying 10 to 15 communities per county, with a target of engaging 60 to 75 individuals per stakeholder group across the six counties. This includes school-age girls, parents, teachers, school leadership, community elders, and local education officers. The final selection of participants will be refined following a literature review and analysis of existing data sources to ensure alignment with the project’s objectives and contextual realities. Please see below a communication plan developed to ensure effective engagement and coordination throughout the assessment process.
