Project Background (7 - 8 sentences)
Stopping Exploitation through Accessible Services or SEAS of Change Phase II funded by Sida CIVSAM from July 1, 2019-June 30, 2022 (3 years). The phase II project builds on the previous SIDA-funded SEAs of Change project, and aims at developing a strengthened civil society in Thailand and Cambodia that effectively enables migrant children and youths to claim their rights, and proactively influences government migration and social protection policies both in-country and across borders.
The project has cross-country elements and activities in both Thailand and Cambodia in each outcome. In Thailand, the SEAS Phase II project will continue in Rayong, Trat , Samut Sakhon and Bangkok, in Cambodia, the project works in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Battambang. The project is aligned with the Child Protection programme area in Thailand country strategy and the project is working in partnership with the 2 implementing partners in Thailand namely Labour Protection Network Foundation (LPN) and Foundation for Rural Youth (FRY) and the other 2 partner organizations in Cambodia consist of Cambodia Against Child Trafficking Networks (CA) and Banteay Srei (BS).
Civil society will be strengthened through awareness-raising, assessments, and technical capacity building in areas such as gender, M&E, and child protection. However, and perhaps more importantly, the project will work to create an enabling environment for civil society by training organizations and groups on how to influence and lobby effectively. In addition, networks of civil society will be supported and encouraged to work in concert to claim migrant’s rights. Finally, the project will work to link civil society to governments and the private sector to influence governments’ migration and social protection policies and increase transparency and accountability of the public and private sector in both source and destination countries.

Methods for Data Collection and Analysis (8 - 10 sentences)
This final evaluation has applied the Mixed Methodology in the research process. The Mixed Methodology research process is a process that integrates both quantitative and qualitative research methods in order to obtain comprehensive and complete information. The quality data collection process will be conducted by using primary and secondary data collection methods with the following methods. The analysis report will be disaggregate data by age (10-below 15, 15-below 18 and 18-below 25), gender and provinces;
Desk research: Desk research is an analysis & synthesize secondary data from literature documents as well as related research to summarize the relevant situations in the past and also gap for design the research tools to collect data.
Focus group discussion (FGD): A focus group discussion involves gathering people from similar backgrounds or experiences together to discuss a specific topic of the relevant project context. It is a form of qualitative research where questions are asked about their perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, opinion or ideas. In focus group discussion participants are free to talk with other group members; unlike other research methods it encourages discussions with other participants. It generally involves group interviewing in which a small group of usually 8 to 12 people. It is led by a moderator (interviewer) in a loosely structured discussion of various topics of interest.
Key informant interview (KII): Key informant interviews are qualitative in-depth interviews with people who know what is going on in the relevant project context. The purpose of key informant interviews is to collect information from a wide range of people—including community leaders, professionals/government staff, migrant’s children and youth or parents/caretaker who have first-hand knowledge about the relevant project context. These community experts, with their particular knowledge and understanding, can provide insight on the nature of problems and give recommendations for solutions.
Case study (at least 2 cases): The case study approach is particularly useful when there is a need to obtain an in-depth appreciation of an issue, event, or phenomenon of interest, in its natural real-life context. Our aim in writing this piece is to provide an insights approach in relation to the design, planning, analysis, interpretation and reporting of case studies. Case study will be used as evidence-based documentation which the project defined in counting each document that write or show about good practice, success model, success story from the project implementation for example; 1) project collaboration and management with CSO partners, and stakeholders from Thailand and Cambodia; 2) bilateral education model; and 3) social protection.
Questionnaire Survey: as for data collection in quantitative survey data by using questionnaire as a tool. Due to Covid-19 situation which still continues spreading at our target areas, so the survey will be conducting with mix between face to face and phone interview.
