DFID 6769 Global Girls Research Initiative

Tender description

Actual CPV code is ‘75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid Related Services’. This research programme will produce cutting edge research that explores what works well and what works less well to improve development outcomes of poor adolescent girls in developing countries. It will place particular attention to interventions that are multi-sectoral (i.e. combining health, education, economic, assets, natural assets, and/or safety) as well as multi-level (i.e. operating at levels of the girl, community and state). The expected outcome of the programme is that DFID and other international and developing country actors will use quality evidence to develop more effective policies and interventions for reaching poor adolescent girls in developing countries, particularly in areas of tackling harmful social norms and reducing child, early and forced marriage, early pregnancy, violence, education and economic empowerment.
