Vi har modtaget følgende fra programmet Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS):
CCAFS modtager midler fra Danida samt en række andre internationale donorer som Verdensbanken og CIDA. Danida har netop bevilget 30 mio. kr. til det nye CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CRP7), som koordineres fra sekretariatet på LIFE (den tidl. Landbohøjskole i København).
CALL FOR COMPETITIVE SMALL GRANTS PROPOSALS
The CGIAR has launched a new program on Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS). CCAFS’ overall goal is to overcome the additional threats posed by a changing climate to achieving food security, enhancing livelihoods and improving environmental management.
One critical area of research that CCAFS has identified is the need to understand the complex and dynamic relationships between climate change, agriculture and food security and how it affects men and women differently.
Therefore, CCAFS is searching for women scientists who are interested in conducting research on gender issues related to the climate change, agriculture, and food security nexus.
In order to fund research on gender and climate change, CCAFS will award women scientists enrolled in a PhD program or interested in a post doctoral opportunity, and who are citizens of and affiliated with an institution in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Bangladesh, India, or Nepal to a research grant of 35.000 US dollar.
The grant application is due by 1 May 2011.
We hope that this grant will help to demonstrate and contribute to understanding the linkages between climate change and gender, while building research capacity of women scientists and increasing their representation in agricultural research.
