Research Grants Round 2: Apply Now!
Can you contribute to building understanding of the role of governance in climate change adaptation and reducing risk to disasters?
The Climate and Disaster Governance (CDG) Programme offers research bursaries of up to US$1,000 to developing country researchers.
The bursaries support research into how different governance arrangements at the national and local level can best reduce risks from climate related disasters.
We invite innovative proposals that challenge conventional thinking on how climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction can be supported.
The proposed research should relate to one of the four CDG research themes:
• Citizen engagement and accountability
• Implications of international policy frameworks
• The role of social protection
• Institution building in fragile states
Cross-cutting topics will also be considered.
Currently CDG is supporting research into governance of diverse issues including land reform management, DRR mainstreaming in local government, environmentally-induced migration responses, support for cyclone prone communities, and strengthening citizen participation.
Who?
Bursaries are available to post-graduate students and development practitioners from developing countries
When?
The deadline for the current round of applications is 31st July 2009.
