About

DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT awarded a contract to IMC Worldwide Ltd for research on Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) in South Asia.

The contract, valued at £636,610.6, aimed to fund up to two multi-country studies to address key evidence gaps on VAWG in South Asia.

The research was intended to generate high-quality contextualised evidence to inform the design and implementation of policies and programmes to address VAWG more effectively.

The studies were expected to complement the £25 million/5-year global What Works to Prevent Violence research and innovation programme, which funds studies in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, as well as projects in sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East and North Africa.

The research findings were to benefit country governments, DFID, international organisations such as the UN, academics, and NGOs concerned with VAWG issues.
