outlined; Consortium-led research that includes, for example, activists, practitioners, policymakers, and researchers.

Location: Low- and Middle-Income Countries as defined by the World Bank here.

Eligibility: • Preference will be given to proposals submitted and led by organisations based in LMICs who are affiliated with a recognised, legally constituted research institution or organisation with existing research or programming capacity on VAW and VAC. Where appropriate, they should involve partnerships between multiple organisations, for example: a local NGO, practice-based agency and an academic institution; or local government and an NGO or an academic institution. Applications in English, French and Spanish will be accepted.
