As knowledge managers in the field, the SVRI funds, gathers, develops, distils and disseminates knowledge for improving practice. We enable knowledge exchange and sharing by providing a variety of communication platforms to network, learn, discuss, influence, and develop innovations to help us reach our goals. Born out of the need to increase research in the field in low- and middle-income countries, the SVRI established a Grant Making Programme in 2014. The programme was run in partnership with the World Bank between 2016-2020.

The SVRI has created a series of regional and thematic reports to showcase the work and highlight local research projects supported by its Grant Making Programme between 2014 and 2020, in partnership with the World Bank through the GBV Development Market Place Award.
