Under the 2016-2020 Country Programme, UNICEF is partnering with the
Bandung Islamic University (UNISBA), to support the Government of
Indonesia (GoI) to pilot the International Survey on Children’s
Well-being’ (ISCWeb) - also known as the Children’s Worlds Survey - in
West Java Province. This school-based survey has collected data from
children between the ages 8-12. Data collected through this survey will
form the basis for the development of a Child Well-being Index in
Indonesia. The index will combine data from the survey with traditional
indicators from existing and regular Government household surveys such
as SUSENAS and RISKESDAS.
The Children’s Worlds Survey was conducted in all
districts/cities in West Java Province in October-November 2017. Data
was collected from 24,000 children in total, including 8 (grade 2), 10
(grade 4) and 12 years olds (grade 6) through self-administered
questionnaires in their classrooms. This is the first survey on child
well-being ever conducted in Indonesia.
The Government of Indonesia – including through the National Ministry
of Development Planning (BAPPENAS) and the national Bureau of
Statistics (BPS) – has been closely involved in the piloting of the
survey. BPS has actively supported the data collection in the field,
data entry and initial cleaning of data. The UNISBA research team is the
main lead for all technical matters related to the survey in West Java
with guidance from UNICEF Indonesia and ISCWeb experts, and
collaboration with the Government.
In 2018, the results of the Children’s Worlds Survey will be analyzed
jointly with BPS and Bappenas and will be published in an Indonesia
country report. This consultancy seeks to hire an experienced research
professional to support the team – reporting to UNICEF Indonesia, and
closely collaborating with the UNISBA research team – to analyze the
results and write a high quality and analytical report, according to the
international ISCWeb standards.
The consultant is also expected to support the technical preparations
