🔎 MSD is looking for Consultant to Conduct a Survey on “Voluntary Local Review of Sustainable Development Goals in Vietnam”, Focusing on Community-Generated Data (CGD) Sources For the Project “Leave No-one Behind – CSO Engagement in SDG Monitoring Process”

⏰ EXTENDED DEADLINE: 10.8.2021

🔸 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can only be achieved when marginalised groups are not left behind, and the trust of citizens in official SDG data can only be achieved when they can meaningfully involve in developing those data. The LNOB Vietnam enhances CSOs’ responsibility towards the National Action Plan on SDGs in Vietnam by implementing the citizen-generated data collection project under the title “Leave No one Behind – CSO engagement in SDG Monitoring process” at sub-national level that focuses on marginalised groups at local authorities.

🔸 The data collection project will connect with a number of CSOs working in Vietnam, including both local and international ones, in order to produce a data harmonisation package on community’s specific situation and information by using a list of SDG indicators. The huge data package will be used to track issues and trends such as poverty or income over time, then to support the implementation of projects and programmes, and to monitor and evaluate the impact of interventions. The data also serves to understand the experiences, perceptions and needs of the communities whom civil society organizations work with, using tools such as surveys.

🔸 The project hence would like to recruit a consultant who has the high expertise in Sustainable Development; Community Development and Community Data Collection to take the responsibility of conducting a Vietnam SDGs Survey Report consisting of data surveyed from Vietnam citizens and CSOs working in Vietnam. The consultant will work with LNOB member organisations and a network of local CSOs to implement the data collection stage. The survey report will provide community-generated data on SDG indicators for the 2021 Voluntary Local Review of Sustainable Development Goals in Vietnam, supporting for the SDG evidence-based contributions and advocacies of LNOB Vietnam at local, national, regional and global levels.
