Intern, Qualitative Evaluation, Namibia

Innovations for Poverty Action seeks an Intern to assist with the oversight and analysis of the qualitative component of an evaluation of a community based rangeland and livestock management (CBRLM) program in Namibia. The qualitative component is part of a randomized evaluation of community based rangeland management funded by the Millenium Challenge Account (MCA) and implemented by GOPA consultants. The qualitative evaluation will address the program's effect on farmer behaviors, community level decision-making processes, and cultural attitudes towards livestock and the environment.

The Intern will work closely with the Project Coordinator, the Country Director, and IPA's qualitative research expert to oversee qualitative data collection and process and analyze results. Tasks include, but are not limited to: survey design, surveyor training, logistical coordination of data collection, cross-checking and overseeing transcription of qualitative data, developing coding scheme and coding of collected data. The Intern may also support aspects of the quantitative evaluation. The Intern will be posted in Oshakati, northern Namibia.

The intern should have experience living or traveling in the developing counties and be willing to live and work in remote, rural environments. The intern should have experience with qualitative data collection and analysis, should have strong managerial skills, and should be capable of working independently. 

Desired start date: Late May to early June, for a duration of 10-11 weeks. There may be opportunities for further assistance in data analysis following field work.
