Rapid Research and Learning Fund: Independent Evaluation of Girls’ Education Challenge Phase II

Main page content

Drawing on the experience of Girls’ Education Challenge (GEC) projects, this fund aims to commission and deliver a demand-driven portfolio of research to enhance the evidence-base on girls’ education in the Global South. The evidence generated through the Rapid Research and Learning Fund (RRLF) aims to inform GEC project grantees, its Fund Manager, FCDO policymakers, as well as researchers. The first call for proposals for the RRLF launched on 27 November 2020.

Health, political, economic and environmental crises and emergencies place immense challenges on education systems. The effects on girls’ learning and well-being can be considerable, often disproportionately affecting the more disadvantaged. This has become even more apparent in the light of COVID-19. This call for proposals invites research that examines issues pertaining to girls’ education in crisis situations including COVID-19. This also includes, but is not limited to, investigations into how interventions have responded to crises to develop resilience (of both the girls and the education systems in which they reside) and promote recovery efforts
