Terms of Reference: Quantitative Data Collection Partner

Ground Truth Solutions (GTS) is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to ensuring the priorities of people affected by crisis are systematically considered in humanitarian and climate action, from individual responses to systemwide humanitarian reform. Evidence and ideas gathered through rigorous research and inclusive dialogue enable crisis-affected communities to actively shape the decisions that impact their lives. Headquartered in Austria, GTS works globally as an independent advocate, collaborating closely with local partners who share our vision.

The selected data collection partner will contribute to defining the geographic scope of the research based on their presence and network, as well as provide insight on the accessibility and feasibility of conducting the research in specific locations across Sudan. The selected data collection partner is responsible for obtaining the necessary approvals for data collection and ensuring all appropriate measures are taken to ensure the safety of both enumerators and participants in the process.

The partner will conduct a short scoping phase, which is intended to provide insight and evidence to guide the selection of the most relevant target groups in selected locations and support in identifying a diverse cross section of the population. Along with GTS, the partner will contribute to the scoping phase through informal calls with relevant community actors and local NGO staff to help validate assumptions and contribute to the design of the survey.
