Impact catalyst fund 2023 call for proposals: Child marriage and social norms
The impact catalyst fund (‘ICF’) is a strategic initiative of the UNICEF Evaluation Office that aims to support high-quality impact evaluations in priority thematic areas of the UNICEF Strategic Plan 2022–2025. The ICF provides matching grants of up to US$400,000 to support the design and primary data collection (at least two rounds) for rigorous impact evaluations (preferably randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs).
The ICF 2023 call for proposals focuses on the thematic area of child marriage and social norms where impact evidence on UNICEF programming remains limited. Generating scientifically robust evidence allows UNICEF country offices to make decisions to scale up ‘high gain’, transformative interventions to reduce child marriage, and eliminate harmful practices in the ‘Decade of Action’. It also helps solidify the institutional and global learning on child marriage and other harmful practices through a methodologically harmonized and strategically selected portfolio of rigorous impact evaluations.
The call for proposals is now closed!
