Are you an Innovator? Improving Monitoring and Evaluation of Gender Based Violence

Deadline: 31 January 2017

The Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) is currently seeking applications from eligible organisations for its program entitled “Improving Monitoring and Evaluation of Gender Based Violence (GBV)” with an aim to investigate approaches and efforts to best address the significant remaining challenges in this area and stimulate tangible innovations.

Although there can be no single ‘innovation’ to address the diversity of challenges around this issue completely or immediately, approaching problems from the perspective of innovation offers the potential to break down complex issues into actionable challenges, to find new ways to tackle problems, and use new ideas, technologies and relationships to drive solutions.

Innovation Challenges

Grants are available for the following GBV innovation challenge:

• Measure the Impact of GBV Programmes: proposals to evaluate the impact and quality of existing or new GBV programmes by developing and implementing different assessment processes and tools, and identifying and monitoring relevant metrics.
• Develop Real-Time Monitoring Tools: proposals to develop tools that easily integrate into the humanitarian system and enable the real-time collection of GBV data during an emergency. The data collected should be reliable and support GBV decision-making and the design of GBV programmes.

Funding Information

The GBV initiative will support organisations with up to £50,000 to explore a bright idea that has the potential to improve monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of GBV in humanitarian contexts.
