This project aims to advance women’s rights through more effective and gender-responsive humanitarian action including conducting research on adolescent girls in refugee settings. Project activities include: (1) developing an integrated research program focused on gender and diversity in humanitarian action; and (2) enhancing current research platforms and local partnerships to generate more in-depth evidence on adolescent girls in refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) settings. This project is being implemented by the Overseas Development Institute-Humanitarian Policy Group (ODI-HPG) an organization grounded in field research spanning a range of countries and emergencies.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved gender-responsive humanitarian action by providing strong evidence; (2) strengthened global network of assessment specialists by providing specialised needs assessment and thematic analysis products; (3) provision of new evidence on what works to empower adolescent girls in the Global South; and (4) establishment of a support programme on gender-responsive humanitarian action for key high-level international meetings. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
