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

Tender description

The What Works to Prevent Violence - Impact at Scale Programme will build on the success of its predecessor ('What Works I' ) 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. 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. This programme of research and evaluation will have a value of up to £15.9 million and contributes one component of the overall programme as outlined in the Business Case.
