Consultancy: Child Marriage Research Database
Girls Not Brides is a global partnership of over 1400 members in nearly 100 countries committed to ending child marriage and ensuring girls can fulfil their potential. Members are based throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Our vision is a world without child marriage where girls and women enjoy equal status with boys and men and can achieve their full potential in all aspects of their lives. Our vision challenges deeply embedded social norms that harm the lives of girls, women and their communities.
The Girls Not Brides secretariat is committed to accelerating the change needed to end child marriage.
Background and purpose
The Child Marriage Research to Action Network (The CRANK) is a global knowledge-sharing and research coordination platform. We provide actors working on child marriage with access to a wide set of evidence on child marriage through the CRANK Research Tracker to strengthen evidence-based action.

- Organise, check, validate and clean an excel database with 20 years of child marriage research for integration into the Research Tracker.
- Develop a directory of current child marriage researchers, practitioners, research institutions, think tanks based on the updating work to be undertaken.
This consultancy is for 15 days to be carried out in August and September.

The consultant(s) will be responsible for producing the following key outputs:
An updated CRANK research tracker database which incorporates an additional data base, currently in excel format, of 20 years of Child Marriage research.
