Job Description

The National Research Assistant will work together with the AQBE Qualitative and Quantitative Consultants, Senior Research Officer, and Senior Assessment Officer to support the administrative requirements of the following key research activities:

- Rapid Education Risk Analysis (RERA): annualized assessments, including FGDs, KIIs, undertaken to understand the key barriers and enabling factors to safe access for all learners in the targeted AQBE provinces. RERA’s will utilize a standard USAID toolkit developed to understand risk and mitigation factors to reduce risk around safe access to quality education. - Household Assessment: baseline, midline and endline assessments, including the use of IRC’s AMAL Toolkit (Annual Monitoring of Afghan Learning). These assessments will take place in a sampling of targeted households and communities across eight AQBE provinces and will include: adapted EGRA and EGMA; adapted Social Emotional Learning (SEL) questionnaires, and household demographic surveys. - Transition Assessments: will be designed and undertaken in Y3 and Y5 of AQBE programming, with the intention of measuring transition for CBE learners into public schools, as well as evaluating the causal factors for successful transitions of learners, in eight supported AQBE provinces.
