Notice Title

What Works to Prevent Violence: Impact at Scale - Research and Evaluation Component

Notice Description

Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) awarded a contract to the George Washington University to deliver What Works to Prevent Violence: Impact at Scale Programme (Research and Evaluation Component) to prevent and contribute to eliminating violence against women and girls through: - Systematically designing, implementing and rigorously evaluating a range of approaches to scaling up violence prevention efforts, translating proof-of-concept evidence into robust, large-scale programmes; - Designing, piloting and testing new theory-driven violence prevention approaches (innovation); - Strengthening long-term capability and capacity to deliver cutting-edge violence prevention programmes across the programme's grantees, the UK Government (principally FCDO), and developing country governments; and - Using evidence to influence a more effective global response to end VAWG. As part of this programme, FCDO requires the services of a Supplier to lead and manage a research programme consortium (RPC) which will deliver a strategic and coherent portfolio of research and evaluation. This research programme will improve our understanding of patterns and trends in the prevalence and drivers of violence against women and girls (VAWG), including its relationship to violence against children (VAC); and broaden and deepen the evidence base on what works, under what circumstances and for whom in programmatic interventions to prevent such violence. The contract may be extended by up to additional 42 months and up to further PS7.95 million.
