Research Consultants for Regional Landscape and Network Analysis Blog 13 Dec December 13, 2023
Research Consultants for Regional Landscape and Network Analysis The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), a consortium partner, and Pact are carrying out a five-year USAID-funded project called the Asia Investigative Reporting Network (AIR Network). The mission of the AIR Network is to enhance cooperation between civic actors and investigative journalists in order to foster accountability, encourage public involvement, and forward a shared vision of a more transparent, inclusive, and democratic society.

They will collaborate closely with AIR team members as well as DC-based Pact and ICFJ colleagues, especially the Pact Research Manager. They will take the lead in deciding on the ultimate deliverable(s) and will finalize the research questions, methodology, data collection instruments, and analysis plan with feedback from the extended AIR team. Additionally, the consultant(s) will guarantee data collection and….
Requirements In addition to accepting applications from consultants wishing to lead only one of the two tasks—the organizational network analysis or the media assessment—AIR is looking for a consultant or consultants who can lead both tasks. In your application, please specify whether you would prefer to be evaluated solely for the organizational network analysis or media assessment component.
