In their report (also available in form of an executive summary), they identify two challenges, each addressing a different theme within Monitoring & Evaluation, to encourage teams to focus their efforts in terms of this call:

INNOVATION CHALLENGE 1: MEASURE THE IMPACT OF GBV PROGRAMMES

We are asking for proposals to evaluate the impact and quality of existing or new GBV programmes by developing and implementing different assessment processes and tools, and identifying and monitoring relevant metrics.

INNOVATION CHALLENGE 2: DEVELOP REAL-TIME MONITORING TOOLS

We are asking for proposals to develop tools that easily integrate into the humanitarian system and enable the real-time collection of GBV data during an emergency. The data collected should be reliable and support GBV decision-making and the design of GBV programmes.
