The data for Tool 1: Graduate Surveycan be collected by phone or face to face. ESP will provide a list of the graduates for each of the 12 FDCs and provisional contact information.

The sample survey population for data collection is set at 389 graduates (162 female and 227 male graduates) for the graduate survey, in order to achieve a margin of error of plus or minus 5% and a p-value of 95%. If graduates are under 18 years of age, it will be necessary to obtain parental or guardian consent for undertaking the survey.

The data for Tool 2: Community Surveywill be collected face to face in the wards and villages listed in the following table. The sample survey population for the data collection is set at 600 (300 female, 300 male)

The community survey is targeted at the household-level. Data will be collected from households in the communities that are intended to be a target for ESP activities.

In each of the 12 targeted FDC areas, five clusters (10 surveys per cluster) will be selected and a total of 50 household surveys will need to be completed in each targeted community. Ultimately, this will result in a final sample of 600 surveys (300 female, 300 male).

Deliverables:

1)An interim report on the status of the field work submitted to CICan by June 15, 2022.

2)The fieldwork data collection for Tool 1 and Tool 2 completed by June 30, 2022.

4)A short final report on the field work data submitted to CICan on July 22, 2022.

The budget proposal should include the following provisions:

• The expected cost for enumerators to collect the sample survey population data for Tool 1: Graduation Survey. The deliverable is 389 graduates (162 female and 227 male graduates). The data can be collected by phone or face to face. While ESP will provide a list of the graduates for each of the 12 FDCs and provisional contact information, the response rate for phone calls can be low and follow up phone calls and communication with the FDCs may be required.

• The expected cost for enumerators to collect the sample survey population data for Tool 2: Community Survey. The deliverable is 600 surveys (300 female, 300 male). The data will be collected face-to-face in the wards and villages / streets identified in the table.

Note that for both Tool 1 and Tool 2, female enumerators will be required to collect the data from female participants and male enumerators will be required to collect the date from the male participants.

• The cost of local transport for the enumerators during the face-to-face data collection for Tool 2: Community Survey.

• The cost of calling time and airtime for the graduate surveys.

• The cost of 3 days for the enumerators to attend a training workshop in Dar es Salaam. The workshop venue and agenda will be organized by ESP.
