Grants and Contributions

Via this project, ODI-HPG will examine how the humanitarian sector can engage with the social
and political dynamics that influence humanitarian assistance through their new Integrated
Programme (IP). ODI-HPG will explore five research projects from a range of different angles,
in order to examine how the humanitarian sector can engage with the social and political
dynamics that influence humanitarian assistance.

Project activities for the Integrated Programme include: (1) Designing the research approach
and methodology through a comprehensive scoping and refining process; (2) Producing and
publishing in-depth research through literature reviews and case studies in partnership with
key actors; and (3) Develop final reports and recommendations and communicate findings through
policy engagement with key programme and policy actors.

The project supports the United Nations Trust Fund (UNTF) to end violence against women. The UNTF is a global, multilateral, grant-making mechanism that supports innovative, evidence-based civil society and women-led solutions. It focuses on preventing violence against women and girls (VAWG), implementing laws and policies to address and eliminate violence against them, and improving access to services for survivors.

Project activities include: (1) mobilizing, delivering, and effectively managing funds and technical support for initiatives that prevent and address violence against women and girls; (2) producing and distributing collaborative and inclusive knowledge, data, and analysis based on the results of the UNTF initiatives that measurably inform policy and programming on violence against women and girls; and (3) creating partnerships and mobilizing support for increased funding and commitments to end violence against women and girls.
