“Call for Outline Research Proposals: Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women” — IDRC
By Leadership Project // Friday, July 26, 2013“In partnership with the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the International Development Research Centre is pleased to launch a call for research proposals on Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) – generating evidence on women’s economic empowerment, gender equality and growth in low-income countries. With a focus on sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, this research program seeks to develop innovative ways for evidence to promote better policies and outcomes for women and for societies as a whole.”

“With a focus on low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the program will produce high-quality evidence on three sets of inter-related questions:
- What are the nature and magnitude of barriers to women’s economic empowerment and to closing gender gaps in earnings and productivity? How can these barriers be overcome?
- How do specific patterns of economic growth and types of structural change affect women’s economic empowerment and gender equality?
- How do women’s economic empowerment and gender equality affect economic growth?
Themes 1 and 2 will be explored through innovative new research projects, developed through a competitive call for Outline Proposals, launched on July 25, 2013.
Theme 3 will be addressed through a series of commissioned papers (Evidence Synthesis) analyzing the best-available evidence. A separate call on this theme will be launched soon.”
