Description:

What Works II is pleased to announce that they are expanding the What Works II portfolio under a second funding window and are now accepting applications for Innovation Grants.

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.

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.)
