Team members:
A team member with following primary responsibilities
1. Anthropologist ( to conduct the formative research)

Team leader (among the above members) needs to be identified by the contracted institution. It is estimated that the gender and ICT specialists will require 2 person days each for reviewing the tools and 1 person day each for giving inputs for analysis and report writing).
