Gender-based violence (GBV) humanitarian programming faces significant barriers when it comes to its appropriate prioritisation, resourcing and implementation. Acknowledging this is important as these barriers will all have an impact on the extent to which existing programmes are properly monitored and evaluated.
The Problem
While various monitoring and evaluation (M&;E) approaches have been developed for and by thehumanitarian sector, their uptake is low, leading to a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of GBV programmes inemergencies.
The aim of this Challenge is to develop a better understanding of the barriers faced by humanitarianactors when it comes to measuring the effectiveness of GBV programmes and to develop solutions to overcomethem.
The Challenge
We’re looking for innovative solutions to overcome the barriers that humanitarian actors face in adopting M&E approaches that measure GBV programme effectiveness.
Possible solutions inresponse to this challenge are expected to fall under one or several of the following operational to systemiccategories:
- solutions to improve the access and usability of the available M&;E approaches among GBV in emergencies (GBViE) actors.
- solutions to improve the capacity of humanitarian actors to use the existing M&;E approaches to measure GBViE programme performance at the outcome level.
- incentives for implementing outcomes-focused M&;E approaches.
- relevant policies and/or mechanisms to enforce them.
- solutions to change sociocultural attitudes and biases against gendered programming among humanitarian actors.

The Challenge launches on 23 May 2019. The deadline for expressions of interest (EOIs) is 23 June 2019 (23:59 BST). Apply via the Common Grants Application platform. For further information about the application process and timelines, see Challenge Handbook.
We have a totalbudget of £500,000 available for this Challenge. From this, we envisage funding a selection of solutions with varying budgets, generally between £50,000 and £250,000 per solution, with projects lasting between 12 and 33 months. The total duration of projects should cover implementation and measurement, as well as a dissemination phase. The proposed budgets and timelines should align with the level of ambition of each individual solution. Each solution will be assessed on its own merit and potential for impact: this means that both smaller and larger projects will be on equal footing when being evaluated. Please note that the grant amount requested at EOI stage can be indicative. Detailed budget plans will be requested at the full proposal stage.
We welcome applications from any legally registered entity (eg, INGO, NGO, UN, academic, private company). Successful applicants must work in partnership with a humanitarian actor. Any partnerships can be indicative at the Expression of Interest (EOI) stage but must be formalised when your full application is submitted if your proposal is shortlisted. For further information about requirements and success criteria, see Challenge Handbook.

R2HC Uptake and impact small grants
Elrha’s Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises programme aims to improve health outcomes for people affected by humanitarian crises by strengthening the evidence base for public health interventions. Since 2013, we have funded more than 100 research studies. We have identified a critical gap in funding for knowledge translation, communications and engagement activities required for research findings to be understood, used and applied by humanitarian stakeholders.
