Strategic Consultant(s) for Worldview Public Engagement Research Project

Dóchas wishes to contract strategic consultant(s) with specific experience and expertise in researching public perceptions of international development and ODA, to advise the Worldview public engagement research project and formulate, analyse, and report on the agile 'Part B' questions of the research. The consultant(s) will work with the project manager and in collaboration with stakeholders to identify, develop, and analyse topics for the dynamic ‘Part B’ of the research, and act as a ‘critical friend’ to the project over the several years.

Specific outputs: 

• Research Topic Guidance: Along with our members, assist us in using the existing research findings and current cultural and political trends to decide the Part B topic for this year.
• Research Question Design & Analysis: Develop the ‘Part B’ survey questions including how they are formulated, and analyse the results to create a deck/report on the results and insights that can be ascertained. Analysis will be aligned to the Worldview segmentation groups to understand whether segments are better drivers or individual factors and whether drivers vary for each segment.
• Results Presentation to Dóchas Members: Present the research findings to Dóchas members at the end of the research cycle at an in-person launch event.
• Ongoing Feedback: Act as our “critical friend”, coming in at two/three key phases of the project ensuring we are on the right track and not heading towards any pitfalls.
