Description
1) Objective
They are interested in testing innovative approaches and developing promising collaborations to take VAWG prevention work in new directions. Innovation grants are intended to support the development and implementation of projects designed to achieve one of more of the following goals:
• Design and test ways to prevent forms of violence that have been under-researched (such as conflict-related sexual violence, technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV), violence in climate-related or humanitarian emergencies).
• Testing different delivery platforms or modalities such as media and technology etc.
• Testing new partnerships e.g. between a digital rights organisation and a women’s right organisations (WROs).
• Develop approaches to address violence in populations or settings where little experience exists (for example, refugees, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, or LBT populations.)
2) Eligibility
What Works II aims to award innovation grants to southern-based, women-led, women’s rights organisations with expertise and a track record of working in the field of VAWG prevention. Applicants are national or local level women-led WROs from the Global South, who may choose to partner in consortia with other organisations (e.g., NGOs and SMEs). For the TFGBV interventions, applicants can be led by actors from the digital rights or technology sector working in partnership with women-led WROs.
3) Location
They are looking to fund projects based in the Middle East and North Africa, Asia, and Sub- Saharan Africa. We particularly welcome applications from the Middle East and North Africa and projects/interventions located in fragile and conflict affected states (FCAS) that are in a situation of protracted crises.
4) Budge
What Works II will award innovation grants of up to GBP 500,000 to organisations or consortia led by WROs in the Global South, for up to 3 years, that are designed to achieve a measurable reduction in VAWG in humanitarian or development contexts. In What Works: Impact at Scale Programme September 2024 partnership with grantee-partners, members of the Research Consortium, will design and carry out a rigorous evaluation to test the effectiveness of the intervention.
