Study on Socio-Cultural Dynamics and Community Structures in Samburu and Baringo Districts

Background Information

UNFPA is seeking a consultant(s) to undertake a study on socio-cultural dynamics and community structures in Samburu and Baringo Districts that perpetuate and promote FGM/C. Baseline surveys have been conducted in 5 Districts to determine the prevalence of FGM/C and enhance our collective knowledge on the complexity of the practice and factors that determine perpetuation of FGM/C.

However, the surveys revealed that FGM/C though reducing gradually, it is still prevalent in the respective regions despite various anti–FGM/C interventions We need to confirm why FGM/C is still persistent, what structures promote it and find out whether there are structures that can support abandonment of the practice

The objectives of the research on socio-cultural dynamics are to:

* Establish the nature of social interactions among the Baringo and Samburu communities and identify what motivates people to undertake FGM/C.
* Identify the political, socio-cultural and economic practices of the communities that perpetuate FGM/C;
* Identify the “Power Brokers” who can be used to influence other community members to abandon FGM/C;
* Document other cultural practices that impede the attainment of rights for women and girls;
* Identify the elements that hold FGM/C as a social norm and how they operate;
* Measure the magnitude the social norms related to FGM/C and whether there is room for change;
* Identify positive deviants within the community to influence other members of the community bound by FGM/C as a social norm;
* Identify social networks structures and the dynamics which can be used to lead the campaign for the acceleration of the abandonment of FGM/C;
* Devise ways to measure and monitor social norms relating to FGM/C.

Qualifications of Consultant(s)

* A Masters or higher Degree in Gender, Law or any other Social Sciences
* 5 years experience in gender and development with a bias towards GBV/FGM/C
* Experience in conducting research or analysis, baseline surveys and assessments
