Tenders are invited for Phone Based Financial Services - Impact Evaluation Endline Data Collection

Women entrepreneurs operate a large and growing number of micro and small enterprises in developing countries. While such enterprises provide important livelihood opportunities for many; they face significant challenges; and their performance is often unsatisfactory. With the objective of exploring how to improve such firms- business practices and performance; the World Bank-s Africa Region Gender Innovation Lab (WB research team; henceforth) is conducting an impact evaluation of phone-based financial heuristics/rules of thumb training for women entrepreneurs in urban areas. The study will examine the impact of a financial heuristics training program on financial knowledge; financial behavior; business practices; and business performance. The WB research team is seeking to contract a survey firm that will carry out a face-to-face endline survey. The endline survey is expected to take approximately 1 hour. The firm will be responsible for: • Activity 1: Field procedure plan for data collection.• Activity 2: Translation; testing; and formatting of the electronic version of the questionnaire.• Activity 3: Preparation of enumerator training curriculum and materials; manuals and implementation of personnel training; field test. • Activity 4: Recruitment; contracting; and payment of experienced enumerators and supervisors; the composition of which should be approved by the research team.• Activity 5: Implementation of the fieldwork using tablets; including organization and provision of logistical support (transport; per-diem; etc.) to interviewers and supervisors while data are being collected; regular field reports and data consistency checks; cleaning; coding; and labeling of the final dataset. A detailed tracking report on attrition status; including the number of attempts to reach respondents and reasons for non-response rates; is also expected. This Request for Expressions of Interest is to solicit interest from a consultant (survey firm) to conduct the endline data collection activities for this project.
