Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) invites interested individuals, firms or research teams to submit short technical and financial proposals to conduct qualitative research on the cost of politics in Malawi, building on a brief existing study undertaken in 2019, with a particular focus on the challenges and impacts it poses for youth and female political participation and engagement.

Interested parties are requested to submit their proposal – to comprise a short technical proposal, a budget, a sample of previous work and the CVs of research team members – by 26 September 2025.
