Announcement Description

SNV Netherlands Development Organization is a not-for-profit international development Organisation, founded in the Netherlands in 1965. SNV operates in more than 25 developing countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. For detailed information on SNV visit: Link.

Working in Cambodia since 2005, SNV implements projects in the agriculture, energy, and water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sectors. Using market-based approaches, we emphasize environmental sustainability and inclusive development. We lower the barriers to economic and social development and promote local ownership. SNV provides tailor-made and sustainable interventions that are effective at raising incomes, providing meaningful employment opportunities, and improving access to and coverage of basic services. Our interventions acknowledge the critical importance of improved climate change resilience and mitigation strategies to achieve sustainable change. Our work is aligned with the country’s national development priorities and strategies. We work in close collaboration with the royal government, civil society, and private sector. Our multi-national team of experts works from our national office in Phnom Penh.

Our work in the Energy Sector contributes to our Sector Strategy and Country Plan through projects that are financed and supported by a variety of donors and social investors. At a global level, our Energy programmes reached close to 2.7 million people in 18 countries in 2022, with people having new access to sustainable and affordable energy. We also reduced emissions by the equivalent of nearly 738,000 tonnes of CO2e that year. Our Energy team in Cambodia is headed up by an Energy Sector Leader who leads project managers, specialists and advisors as they work together with the public sector, private companies, and civil society actors in selected communes and provinces to stimulate market development and create an enabling environment for clean and advanced energy solutions.

Summary

Objective for the assignment

The objective of this assignment is to assess the baseline situation in villages before the Smoke-Free Village project starts (in Chum Kiri and possible other areas). The baseline study constitutes the basis for the project to measure performance and impact of the Smoke-Free Village approach. The survey will also assess the current cooking knowledge, attitudes and practice of villagers, GEDSI groups, local authorities, local suppliers of clean cookstoves and fuels, and relevant stakeholders (e.g., health centres, pagodas, schools and eateries/restaurants) towards modern cooking solutions in the target areas.

Methodology

The baseline survey will use a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods that are disaggregated to gender and social economic groups. The survey will assess baseline households living in areas that have not been (and will not be) exposed to SFV, as well as households that have been exposed to SFV; these are the control and treatment groups, respectively. The consultant is expected to provide the required data collection tools as well as the software to be used for the quantitative analysis.

The consultant will apply SNV’s survey questionnaires to gather information on household demographics, as well as dependent variables (i.e. cooking habits) in relation to the independent viariable (i.e. exposure to SFV activities). Interview questions will also cover topics regarding households’ perceived health, livelihoods and time savings. The survey questionnaire will be drafted by SNV in close consultation with the consultant; the consultant is expected to provide feedback and guidance to ensure a high quality questionnaire.

Final deliverable

Top line report will be produced including tables, graphs, bar diagrams and charts.

The report will be structured along the chapters as follows:

  1. Introduction
  2. Summary
  3. Methodology
  4. Key findings
  5. Case studies
  6. Conclusions and Recommendations

Clean data dbase (in excel format or in Logalto), organised among groups, control and treatment.
