Investing significantly in scaling up its programme work in tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) CHASE and DFID's Research and Evidence Division (RED) have designed a joint five year, £18m Research and Innovation Fund (2013-2018) to address critical evidence gaps and improve the effectiveness of interventions to address VAWG (in stable and fragile contexts).
This fund will consist of two components: i) innovation grants; and ii) operational research and impact evaluations.
Under innovation grants, we will look to manage a set of between 10 - 14 grants to be given to organisations to implement innovative programmes or pilots to prevent VAWG that address a number of research questions.
Under the Operation Research and Impact Evaluations Sub-component we will develop an overarching research framework to guide the operational research and impact evaluation of existing and new prevention of VAWG programmes. This will include i) a selection of programmes funded independently, such as current DFID country programmes or programmes implemented by other donors, NGOs or national governments, as well as ii) a sample of the innovation programmes funded by the granting mechanism outlined in sub-component 1.
