I. Background:
Wild meat consumption remains popular in Vietnam, even during the COVID-19 pandemic and despite law enforcement and communication efforts aimed at reducing consumption of protected species.
Using crime script analysis tools and a Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) survey, WCS aims to understand the scope of wild meat markets, especially mammals and birds including motivations for sale/consumption, perception of health risks, and effective barriers to sale and consumption. Results will be used to develop a preventative crime model, combining enforcement and behaviour change interventions.
To understand the dynamics of wild meat and popular bird consumption, WCS selected restaurants and the neighborhoods in the urban like Ha Noi and in provinces where birds are commonly consumed in all kinds of festivals and gathering such as in Bac Ninh and Ha Nam to conduct the KAP survey with at least 180 people including men and women at different ages related to their perception and consumption behaviors towards wild meat and birds. WCS needs additional technical support from consultants who have experience in development and deployment of KAP survey with different methodologies including Unmatched Count Technique (quantitative and qualitative) and various tools including focus group discussion, in depth interviews and self assessment.
II. Objectives:
WCS will hire 1 consultant to join our team to develop and oversee the implementation of a Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Survey on wild meat consumption, especially mammals and birds in selected restaurants in Ha Noi, Bac Ninh and Ha Nam, Viet Nam.
