Notice Title

PROJ10223 Somalia Girls First Programme (S-GIFT)

Notice Description

This is a prior information notice (PIN) only: Publication and a call for competition will be conducted once the scope of work is fully defined and approved. S-GIFT is a proposed PS15 million successor programme to SNaP spread across 3 years to address the harmful social norms that impact on adolescent girls. It is explicitly designed as Phase 1 of a longer-term programme, with the intention that Phase 2 will be designed based on the emerging lessons and evidence after the three-year period (acknowledging that social norms change is only realised over the longer term). The programme will aim to improve the lives and life-chances of young and adolescent girls. It will help deliver the UK's leadership and commitment to end FGM, reduce early marriage and counter violence against girls, in a way that opens opportunities for them to access and extend their education and provide Somalia with the foundation of an educated and healthy female workforce. From a situation where we currently witness extremely high rates of FGM, child/early marriage with resultant low education achievement, high maternal mortality and great exposure to humanitarian and security risk, the programme will endeavour to accelerate the move away from the most harmful practices against girls. This will be achieved by: * Community-level work to tackle harmful social norms affecting adolescent girls and provide support to advocacy of women's rights organisations. * Innovation funding to pilot, test and research what really works to shift harmful social norms in Somalia and how to take these to scale, building up the evidence base and bringing new actors into this space.
