This year, 27 research proposals from Ghana and 51 proposals from Tanzania were submitted on topics ranging from sustainable tourism to insect farming.
Highly competitive process
The research proposals are selected on a highly competitive basis based on an assessment of their quality, relevance and anticipated effect by National Screening Committees (NSCs).
These committees are made up of senior researchers from institutions in Ghana and Tanzania, as well as representatives of the Danish Consultative Committee for Development Research (FFU) and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
