Global Shared Research Agenda: Priority Setting Domain 3 & 4

Global Shared Research Agenda on violence against women and girls

Priority setting survey Domain 3 & 4
To strengthen our understanding of violence against women and girls (VAWG), and ultimately prevent it, we need to ensure that the research undertaken is both priority driven and carried out in such a way that it provides a sound practical and empirical basis for interventions/programmes, policy and advocacy on VAWG. 

VAWG, in its multiple forms, includes intimate partner violence i.e. physical violence, sexual violence, economic, psychological harm or other forms of controlling behaviour by a current or former partner or spouse; non-partner sexual violence; sexual harassment, and harmful traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation, honour killings, and early marriage. It also includes new modalities through which violence may occur, including through online and offline technologies and social media.

To provide a basis for priority driven research on VAWG, the Stewardship Group (the Sexual Violence Research Initiative and the Equality Institute with support from Wellspring Philanthropic Fund) are facilitating the development of a global shared research agenda for research on violence against women and girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This will be done through a priority setting exercise that will identify where major gaps lie and what major questions need to be addressed in the next 5-7 years for the field to make progress towards eliminating VAWG.

In this phase of developing the Global Research Agenda, we will be asking you to score research questions in domain 3 and domain 4:

Domain 3: Improving existing interventions;

Domain 4: Methodological and measurement gaps.

We ask that you score each question against three criteria:
  • Applicability: Some research ideas will be more likely to produce knowledge that is applicable to local political and cultural contexts and be applied in policy and practice.  
  • Effectiveness: Some research ideas will be more likely to generate innovative, sustainable, effective interventions, or improve existing promising interventions. 
  • Equity: Some research will be more likely to produce findings that challenge inequalities, and be accessible and equitable to underprivileged or marginalised groups, or conversely, the research findings could perpetuate inequalities.  

This survey will have two parts and take approximately 30 minutes to complete. The first part will ask some questions about you to help us better understand the priorities of different stakeholders. The second part will ask you to score the research questions for two domains (a total of twenty questions). You will apply the criteria by answering a set of sub-questions. You are free to skip questions and to withdraw at any time.

In two weeks time, you will receive a second survey asking you to score the remaining two domains (a further twenty questions).

Thank you for your valuable contribution.

Domain 3: Improving existing interventions (including scale-up research,  implementation research, adaptation, costing research, intervention science, process research and other form of research that generate innovative solutions to improve existing interventions making them more deliverable, more affordable or more sustainable, and understanding the impact of policies and laws on VAWG):

Improving existing interventions refers to understanding how positive or promising impacts of interventions can be scaled up to access larger populations, benefit more people and to foster policy and programme development on a more sustainable basis, including generating knowledge about the costs of VAWG and of implementing VAWG prevention and response interventions. This domain also includes the impact of developing, implementing and scaling up sustainable violence prevention initiatives at national government level, including policies, frameworks and laws that aim to prevent VAWG. A critical element of this domain is access to funding required to adapt and scale up interventions to different contexts, and to ensure that resource distribution is equitable and reaches marginalised groups, including those with intersecting identities.
