Regional study on gender norms, education and boys' dropout rates: call for expressions of interest

Closed: The FCDO invited suppliers to submit an expression of interest by 13 September 2024 to conduct research for a study on gender norms, education and boys' drop-out rates in Tanzania and East Africa region.

This expression of interest invitation closed on 13 September 2024.

Background

The Evidence Fund was established to support the commissioning of accessible, high-quality research and evidence that will inform policies, programmes and practices. These will contribute to positive development outcomes and poverty reduction in country-specific settings as well as regionally based on the mission of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Research and Evidence Directorate (RED).

What the fund will achieve

The delivery partner will conduct both quantitative and qualitative analysis in this research project to identify trends. This will inform understanding of the reasons behind boys’ declining enrolment and increasing dropout rates in primary and junior secondary schools across Tanzania and the broader East African region, with a focus on gender norms.

Requirements for organisations

The proposed team should have an appropriate mix of local and international expertise in education research. Expressions of interest from consortia that bring together international and local institutions are welcome.

How to apply

To receive the full terms of reference, email your completed expression of interest template to ke_evidencefundeastafrica@pwc.com by 11:59pm BST on 13 September 2024. Late submissions will not be considered.
