A: UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASSIGNMENT

dRi consultants have tried to systematically analyze the TOR of the proposal and
develop various compliances to response the need of the study.

Aa. Background of the Assignment:

Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) is a heinous form of human rights
violation that takes place around the world almost every single day. Globally, one
in three women experiences physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate
partner. The incidence of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Bangladesh
has become a widespread issue and according to a survey by the Bangladesh
Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in
2015, over 70% of married women or girls in Bangladesh have faced some form of
intimate partner abuse; about half of whom say their partners have physically
assaulted them. Bangladesh human rights group Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK)
reported that at least 235 women were murdered by their husband or his family in
just the first nine months of 20201. Violence against women and girls in Bangladesh
appears to have further increased during the Covid-19 pandemic with NGO
hotlines reporting a rise in distressed calls. Although While the Government of
Bangladesh is planning to build “a society without violence against women and
children by 2025, the growing number of violence incidents against women and
girls are clearly indicating that the government response remains deeply
inadequate regarding this issue.

Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) affects women and girls
disproportionately and wreaks negative impacts on their effective participation in
the workforce, which is actually hampering economic growth of the victims as well
as the country. In this scenario, compensation should be provided to SGBV
survivors as reparation to foster their economic conditions. But ensuring
compensation to all the SGBV survivors is still very critical in Bangladesh and
therefore steps should be taken to strengthen the legal framework for
compensation for survivors of rape and other forms of SGBV in Bangladesh. In this
light, OXFAM is going undertake a scope study titled “Compensation for Survivors
of Sexual and Gender Based Violence: A Scope Study” with an aim to review and
present the existing compensation mechanisms for the SGBV survivors in
Bangladesh, explore the limitations and challenges of these mechanism, identify
the scope of private and public sector involvement and to propose
recommendation for policy advocacy based on the best practices around the
world.

Ab. Understanding of the objectives of the assignment:
The overall objectives of the scope study are

• To explore scope and type of compensation mechanisms that have been

undertaken in Bangladesh with respect to survivors of sexual and gender-
based violence.
• To find out the limitations and challenges of available compensation
packages/mechanisms.
• To identify the best practices related to compensation
packages/mechanisms for SGBV survivors across the globe and what can
be takeaways for Bangladesh.
• To explore the resources, funding modalities, guidelines and criteria that
are available which can assist in future policy and programming regarding
SGBV compensation.
• To find out the linkages between formal and informal compensation
initiatives and how do they operate in practice in Bangladeshi context.
• To explore whether and how private sector and social enterprise can
contribute to SGBV compensation mechanisms in Bangladesh.

B: EXPERIENCE IN HANDLING SIMILAR ASSIGNMENTS
Over the years dRi has conducted numerous research projects on various
development issues with several national and international organizations. dRi has
the expertise in conducting both quantitative and qualitative study including FGD,
KII, IDI, Formative research, Observation, Stakeholder consultation in diversified
fields including Women’s empowerment, Violence Against Women, Child Rights
and Protection, Community Policing, Social Accountability, Migration, Food
Security and Nutrition, Health and Sanitation, Education, Women’s empowerment,
Violence Against Women, Climate Change, Urban Poverty, Governance, Refugees,
Legal Aid, Informal Justice mechanisms and Community-based development.
dRi’s well-trained field researchers extend the capacity of conducting both
quantitative and qualitative researches and put an extra emphasis on extracting
all possible aspects of the research.

Moreover, dRi has been working with OXFAM since 2014 in various research
projects. This has allowed dRi to become familiar with OXFAM’s work preference,
implementation policies and guidelines. In practice, dRi always focuses on quality
research and maintains data quality and ethical standard in all of its researches and
thus dRi has potentially gained the competency to work with OXFAM. In 2014, dRi
conducted a study with OXFAM GB on gender rights and violence titled
“Inequality Research in Bangladesh: Unpacking Gender Identity Based
Economic Inequalities” where dRi conducted 30 FGD, KII 25, noted 36 Life History
in order to identify different types and nature of economic, social and political
inequalities that women experience in Bangladesh. Furthermore, attempt was
made to analyze how different unequal practices adversely affect the country’s
overall development. For this purpose, the primary research findings were
juxtaposed against the gendered trends of economic and social development in
Bangladesh. Available national data (e.g. household income and expenditure
survey, national labor force survey) and published research reports was examined
from the perspective of research findings from the field.

Since its inception period, dRi has conducted more than 45 studies on the sensitive
theme “Gender Rights and Violence” across the country including Rohingya
refugee camps following different approaches. Most of the studies were conducted
on women rights and empowerment, sexual and physical violence on women,
policy briefing etc. A list of selected studies conducted by dRi on “Sexual and
Gender Based Violence (SGBV)” are mentioned hereunder:

The evaluation aims to provide evidence-based findings to help UNHCR improve responses
for PoCs through the SGBV, Child Protection and Education strategies. dRi was contracted
as Bangladesh counterpart for the data collection. The findings indicated how the three
strategies performed, and more importantly, the results formulated to guide the future
direction of these strategies. This evaluation also aimed to examine to what extent the
content and implementation of the strategies, as they were formulated in Geneva and
Oxford Policy
2016 interpreted by country offices, ultimately contribute to maximising protection outcomes.
Management (OPM)
This evaluation had two aims: (1) to assess how well the three protection strategies meet
their specified objectives; and (2) to explore how a combined protection package (child
protection, sexual and gender-based violence, and education) can improve. The three
protection strategies were evaluated along three focus areas: (1) quality of the strategy, (2)
implementation of the strategy and (3) results of the strategy. Each focus area had a specific
evaluation objective.
UNDP’s SGBV project responded to the lack of institutional response to SGBV victims in
Bangladesh. The key objectives included enhancing capacity of the SGBV service providers,

C: PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
Ca. Approach to the services:
dRi’s approach for the Scope Study will be mixed-method approach in
combination of both quantitative (Survey) and qualitative methods (Focus Group
Discussion/KII/in-depth interview etc.). Participation of all stakeholders will be
ensured while comprehending and documenting data. Data collection tools will
be developed/edited addressing all indicators mentioned in the Project/ ToR.
Literature review on national and international policies/good practices will be
critical for coming up with befitting recommendations for further policy advocacy
therefore, study will focus on its literature review part as well.

▪ Multi-disciplinary expertise: dRi will deploy a multi-disciplinary team including

Team Leader, Data Analyst, Research manager, Supervisors, Quality control
Officers, Enumerators and Qualitative field researchers. dRi will employ the
service of data collectors with sound knowledge and adequate experience (at
least 3 years in relevant surveys) in the methods of data collection in the
particular thematic area including SGBV, SRHR etc.

▪ Partnership with the Counterparts: dRi will begin the assignment with the
approach of maintaining close relationship with the counterparts, and the
recruiters. dRi will work closely with OXFAM.

▪ Occupational/Workplace Health and Safety Policy: dRi is committed to

providing a healthy and safe work environment for its workers and preventing
occupational illness and injury. To express that commitment, dRi complies with
the policy on occupational/ Workplace health and safety therefore it is intended
to provide survey team with Personal Protection Equipment (mask, gloves, eye
protection etc.) in order to minimize the risk of COVID- 19 transmission during
field work.

Cb. Sampling Design:
Sample Size
There are two key considerations in generating descriptive statistics from any
survey data – a) statistical precision and b) representativeness of the sample. While
the first point about statistical precision is directly related to calculating the
required sample size, the second point is primarily about the sampling process of
to avoid sample biases. We address both the issues in the survey.
Sample Size Calculation:
There are three steps in calculating the required sample size for statistically valid
estimates. The first is to determine the level of precision that is considered
desirable and feasible. The second step, which is also related to sampling process,
is the adjustment for design effect. If the sample selection is done by (multi-stage)
clustered sampling, there is a need for adjusting for design effect based on the
intra-cluster correlation. Finally, the sample size can be adjusted for finite
population correction factor if the sample size becomes more than 5% of the
population.

The respondent groups are- SGBV survivors Girls aged 15-18 years and women aged
above 18 years. Distributing these 2 groups in the two administrative areas (City
Corporations in Urban areas and Upazilas/Unions in Rural areas) we found 4 sub-
groups of respondents.
The approach for calculating sample size requirement for binary estimates (i.e.,
proportions) from a target population is-

𝑝𝑞𝑧 2
𝑛=
𝐷2

Where n stands for the sample size, p is the proportion or percentage estimate
expected for specific indicators, q is the proportion who do not share the
characteristics (i.e., p=1-q), z is the z-statistics for specific confidence level and D is
the absolute level of precision. Using 50% for p (which yields maximum sample
size), and 95% confidence level (i.e., z-score of 1.96) and absolute precision of 0.05
(i.e., 5 percentage points), we yield a required sample size of 384.

Figure: Sample size by proportion

13 | P a g e
The second step for this sample size calculation is adjustment for design effect.
Since it is not feasible to use an existing complete list of households as a sampling
frame within the cluster, the natural choice is to conduct “cluster sampling” where
small geographies within the target area are sampled first, and then the
households (or smaller units within this cluster) are subsequently sampled. The
design effect estimate is done by multiplying the sample size calculated in step
one with “1+(M-1) *ICC”. Here M stands for the number of observations in each of
the sampled clusters (assuming equal numbers) and ICC (intra-cluster correlation)
is the level of correlation (or similarity) in the outcome indicator among the
observations within the cluster. By assuming an ICC of 0.05 (i.e., relatively low level
of correlation) and 4 observations per cluster, the design effect comes to 1.2.
Multiplying the 384-sample size with 1.15, we find a required sample size of 441.6
which we propose to round up to 441 for each of the four respondent groups.
Therefore, the total sample size will be 1764. For better distribution, sample size will
be raised up to 1792.

Sample Selection Procedure:

• In terms of selecting the sample the concept of para/mahalla (or

neighborhood) can be used for respondent selection as PSU. Households
can be sampled by systematic random sampling within each of the
para/mahalla. Within in para/mahalla, a sampling point can be randomly
selected to reduce access bias, and then systematic sampling by skipping
holdings will be used.

Approach to identify respondents:

dRi proposes to conduct the identification of respondents simultaneously with the
survey administration-

1. dRi will collect list of respondents (SGBV survivors) by availing secondary

documents from Women Help Desk (WHD) within police station or Women
Friendly Spaces (WFS).

2. For identifying respondents dRi will add screening questions (whether she
has faced SGBV in last 1 year) with the main survey questionnaire to
determine the eligibility of respondents. In case of full eligibility, she will be
interviewed and if she does not match with the criteria enumerator will
search for the next potential respondents. A household may or may not
contain an eligible woman.

14 | P a g e
Sample Size Distribution:
Survey will be conducted in all 8 Divisions. Two districts will be selected from each
of the division considering the prevalence of SGBV. From those 16 districts 16 City
corporations will be selected as Urban Cluster. Total 896 survey will be conducted
at city-corporation level (56 from each of the city corporation). For Rural cluster 16
Upazilas will be selected from same 16 districts. Villages will be considered as PSU
and total 128 villages will be selected from 32 unions (4 villages will be selected from
each union). 32 unions will be selected from 16 Upazilas (2 unions from each of 16
Upazilas). From each PSU, 7 surveys will be conducted.

Cc. Quality assurance mechanisms and reporting conditions
Since dRi has been focusing on “quality research” as its principal purpose, therefore
dRi is very strict about data quality. dRi follows a zero-tolerance policy toward
falsified, fabricated or misrepresented data. Throughout the whole study dRi
imitates its predefined rules and protocols to ensure data quality. From team
selection to training, tools development, data collection and processing, each and
every step is augmented following the quality control mechanisms of dRi which
are mentioned hereunder:

Commencement/Kick-off meeting:
If awarded, after signing the contract, dRi team will have an inception/Kick-off
meeting with the officials of OXFAM for having a final briefing on the assignment.
It is expected that concerned personnel will provide necessary suggestions and
elaborate their expectations from the assignment.

Internalization of the assignment

dRi team will collect and review relevant materials and documents related to the
assignment. This exercise will be helpful for better understanding about the study
and eliciting ideas for the preparation of the draft data collection instruments. All
the documents obtained will be reviewed in acquiescence with the purpose of the
study.

Methodology and work plan finalization

After reviewing the relevant documents, dRi team will develop the detail work plan,
methodology and share with OXFAM team. The methodology will go through
necessary modification and adjustments in light with the comments of the OXFAM

23 | P a g e
officials. After finalization of the methodology dRi will submit inception report to
OXFAM.

Development of Data Collection Tools

The core team will initiate necessary steps for developing Data Collection
Instruments. dRi team will develop the quantitative questionnaire based on desk
review, a thorough review of the literature/documents, existing data and their
sources, existing research reports etc. For qualitative study dRi will develop the
semi-structure or non-structured questionnaire within the given timeframe for the
assignment. The draft data collection tools/instruments will be shared with OXFAM
officials for their comments for further modification.

Recruitment & Training of Field Team with Pretesting of Tools

dRi has its own pool of supervisors and field researchers which include both male
and female members. dRi employs its full-time staff as field supervisor. The
supervisors have at least Bachelor Degree in a Social Sciences discipline and at
least 3 years of experience in research. For the field researchers, the minimum
qualification is a Bachelor degree in any discipline of Social Sciences and at least
one-year experience in research. Currently dRi has its own pool of about over 150
field researchers who are invited as and when required basis, while field-
supervisors are selected from the full-time employees of dRi.
For this particular assignment, dRi will assign supervisors skilled in coordination
and implementation, who has expertise in conducting researches in sensitive
issues like gender-based violence, child protection etc. Enumerators and
qualitative field researchers will be selected by the Team Leader. dRi will deploy
female enumerators and qualitative field researchers to ensure smooth data
collection from the female respondents. The Selection criteria of enumerators and
field researchers will be included prior experience of similar task, data collection
skill from vulnerable groups, capacity to deal with sensitive issues like GBV etc.,
capacity to manage tablet-pc, Bachelor degree from relevant discipline. Special
focus will be given on the fluency and understanding of local dialect of supervisors,
enumerators and field researchers.
All the supervisors and field researchers will undergo a 2 days long intensive
training session. The trainings will be conducted by research manager and/or
Team leader. The enumerators will be given an overall understanding of the study
objective and in-depth explanation of every question. The training will use the
finalized questionnaire developed for the scope study.
At the end of the training, a mock interview will be conducted among the field
researchers in a group, where one researcher will act as the respondent and
another as the researcher using the tablets and SurveyCTO data collection tool. All
the researchers will be then sent for a pilot in the respective areas to ensure that
they understand the questions and also to assess whether they can smoothly
operate the data collection tool. After they come back from the pilot study, their
questions and queries will be addressed and the data collection tool will be fine-
tuned based on their feedback which will be shared with OXFAM for finalization.

24 | P a g e
Db.2 Field Activities:

Ethical Consideration and Obtaining Consent

Maintaining Ethics in any research is important and necessary and dRi follows this
principle in all its researches. During data collection, the researchers will fully
explain the objective and purpose of the study to the respondents. The
respondents will be assured of their anonymity and use of their information. It will
clearly describe that they will have no financial benefit for providing information,
their participation will be voluntary and that they will not be penalized in any way
if they choose not to participate. Before starting the collection of data, their
consent will be ensured. The data collection process or techniques will not have
any adverse effect on individuals. Thus, protection and safety of respondents and
the researchers will be considered paramount.
dRi team will maintain the highest ethical and professional standards when
working with communities to ensure that power inequalities are not abused or
exploited and will also ensure that their commitment to non-discriminatory and
respectful behavior is embedded in all their practices and is communicated to all
everyone.
The evaluation will be guided by the following ethical considerations:
▪ Child safeguarding – demonstrate the highest standards of behavior
towards children
▪ Sensitive – to child rights, gender, inclusion and cultural contexts
▪ Openness - of information given, to the highest possible degree to all
involved parties
▪ Confidentiality and data protection - measures will be put in place
to protect the identity of all participants and any other information
that may put them or others at risk.
▪ Public access - to the results when there are not special considerations
against this
▪ Broad participation - the relevant parties will be involved where possible
▪ Reliability and independence - the study will be conducted in a way so that
findings and conclusions are correct and trustworthy
▪ Consideration of error and bias issues and try to avoid those from design
of tools.

25 | P a g e
Quantitative Data Collection
dRi will be using SurveyCTO platform to
conduct this study using tablets. Its in-
house team is capable of designing survey
software from questionnaires. The team is
well-versed in applying complex
algorithms for creating interactive process
of checking data validity. Moreover, using
mobile data transfer systems, the analysts
will be able to check the data real-time and
provide feedback. Although this process
takes additional time upfront before
launching survey fieldwork, the
advantages are manifolds including –
reduce overall time required for data entry,
improve data quality and facilitate greater
accountability of any data error. dRi’s
enumerators have the experiences
required for making the most effective use
of this computer-based survey tools. For
Samsung Tablets used by dRi
this study, survey data will be collected
using TAB.

Qualitative Data Collection

Experienced Qualitative researchers will collect qualitative data from the field. A
specific guideline will be developed to collect qualitative data through Key
Informant’s Interviews and IDI. dRi will make contact with the key informants in
advance, identify right respondent and take appointment for interview. If required,
dRi will keep audio records of all the KIIs and IDIs with the consent of the
respondents. dRi will strictly follow the rules of writing field reports immediately
after completing a qualitative interview or discussion. The team members will sit
together and note down every important detail of the interaction after each
interview/discussion. The reporting format will include the researchers’
observations on the quality of the interaction of participants (e.g., if the
respondents had a debate before reaching any conclusions, whether there was
considerable influence of particular respondents, if further data to be collected,
etc.).

Dc.3 Post-field Activities:

Data Processing
A database in SPSS will be developed with the collected data using appropriate
fields and codes. This is to mention that, data set will be checked and rechecked
after entry completed. And after the cleaning process, a fresh data set will be
prepared for analysis and copy of this data set in MS excel format will be submitted
to OXFAM team.

26 | P a g e
Data Analysis
The data analysis will be carried out using the SPSS data analysis software. For
qualitative data analysis, dRi will use qualitative data analysis software (e.g.,
ATLAS.ti and NVivo 12). Standard descriptive statistical method will be used to
analyze the data. It will be captured as proportion, percentage, ratio as appropriate,
and presented in tables, charts, and graphs. All table, chart and graph will be
narrated in the report. Additionally, data taken from available literatures like
project documents or other sources will be taken as it is and will be analyzed based
on simple description or narration. In the end, results from the detailed data
analysis will be incorporated in the report, which will include major issues as
aforesaid. dRi is always open to accept any necessary changes in analysis plan
according to client’s requirements.

Draft Report Submission and Findings Validation

Reports will be drafted by the Core Team members in line with the need of the
assignment. Core Team members will first draft Chapter Outline for the report. The
Chapter Outline will be shared with OXFAM and their suggestions will be
incorporated. Study indicators will be dealt with proper attention while drafting
the report. The draft report will be submitted to OXFAM for reviewing and findings
in the draft report will be modified and validated according to their feedback.

Preparing Policy Brief and Presentation

As mentioned in the ToR, dRi will prepare bilingual policy brief (Bangla & English)
based on the study findings as well as on global good practices. dRi will arrange a
presentation session to present the study findings and policy briefs to the relevant
stakeholders.

Final Report Submission

Based on the feedback of presentation session, dRi will prepare the final modified
report and submit to OXFAM management within scheduled timeframe. The final
report will include detailed information on the following (where applicable):

➢ Literature review
➢ Sample size calculation, sample design
