Part 1 - Prepare a Proposal
Country - Nauru
As a consultant, you are submitting a tender/proposal to a government of a country to help them prepare a country-level profile (in the form of a final report). You believe that you have the necessary data management and analysis skills to carry out this task. Country level profiles are used to assist policy makers in preparing strategic plans for the country.
In the first stage of this project, you will prepare a tender/proposal which will explicitly outline the information that you will include in the final report.
Your proposal will consider the following aspects of the country:
1. Population
2. Macroeconomic indicators
3. Environmental indicators
4. COVID-19 impact
In addition to the above, you are required to choose another aspect of your choice which you think is unique to your country and will help in its development. Examples of this include main industries, technological capability, human rights information etc.
All the aspects listed above are quite broad. It is up to you to select what you think it appropriate for the policy makers. For example, when presenting the country's population information, we could choose to focus on population growth, age group distribution or gender distribution. Additionally, with most of the data being time series, you will also need to decide what time horizon you want to focus on. For example, in the population case, do you want to consider all the data available (all years) or only the recent years. Please provide very brief reasons for your choices.
The proposal will consist of the following sections:
1. Title page
2. Cover letter - A very brief letter outlining your case for assisting in the preparation of the country level profile.
3. Table of contents
4. Proposal - What will be included in the final report? Briefly, describe why this work is important.
5. Methodology - Specific details on how the information will be presented (relate to materials in module 2 and 3). Also included here will be the details on data sources and definitions (module 1). You may also include any limitations on data availability (if applicable).
6. References - A list of resources (incl. data sources) used or referenced in the proposal. Please use the Chicago referencing style (see outline for further details).
7. Project Timeline - List of activities/tasks that will be completed and the expected time each of these will take.
