Sexual Violence Research Initiative. (2017). Brief: Promoting innovation in gender based violence prevention – Supporting research through the Sexual Violence Research Initiative Grant and the SVRI and World Bank Group Development Marketplace Awards. Pretoria: SVRI.
Abstract
To increase the evidence base on preventing gender-based violence, the SVRI established the SVRI Grant in 2014 to fund research focusing on sexual and intimate partner violence. These grants ranged from $40 000 to $150 000 over a two-year period. The Grant’s success led the SVRI to partner with the World Bank Group in 2016 on the Development Marketplace for innovation in gender-based violence prevention and response.
