World Bank/SVRI Grant for Innovations to Prevent Gender Based Violence 2018

Call for Proposals: World Bank/SVRI Grant for Innovations to Prevent Gender Based Violence 2018

 

Deadline: October 6, 2017

Are you interested in preventing Gender Based Violence? The SVRI (Sexual Violence Research Initiative) and the WBG (World Bank Group) are requesting proposals for innovative research and interventions or related activities that will contribute to the prevention and response of gender-based violence in low and middle income countries. Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the greatest social, economic and development challenges facing the world today. Violence against women and girls impedes full participation in society, limits access to education, labor force participation and ownership of assets, to name a few.

To contribute to this global effort, SVRI and WBG have created the Sexual Violence Research Initiative and the World Bank Group’s Development Marketplace for Innovation in the prevention and response to gender-based violence in low and middle income settings. Due to high levels of competition and limited funds available, the quality of the proposal submitted will determine success in your funding application.
