Deliverables include an inception report outlining the study methodology and work plan, finalized data collection tools, cleaned quantitative and qualitative datasets, a draft baseline report for stakeholder review—including an Indicator Tracking Table with baseline data—submitted and presented to We Effect and project partners, a validated final baseline report, presentation of study findings, and an electronic archive containing all datasets, questionnaires, data dictionaries, transcripts, sampling documentation, and related materials.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
