Call for concept notes: Collaborative research on climate change adaptation in Africa and Asia

Source(s): Department for International Development International Development Research Center

The Collaboratie Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) is a seven-year research program launched in 2012 and jointly funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) and Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC).

CARIAA supports collaborative, interdisciplinary research in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia: deltas, river basins affected by glacial and snowpack melt, and semi-arid regions. Visit www.idrc.ca/cariaa for more on the approach.

CARIAA invites submissions for research consortia interested in joining the CARIAA initiative. A call for concept notes on collaborative adaptation research in the three hot spots is now open until April 4, 2013.

The selected consortia would be expected to lead innovative programs of research into the impacts of climate change on vulnerable populations in the hot spots from 2013 to 2019.

Find out what we’re looking for and how you can apply by reading the call documents and Frequently Asked Questions on the website.

CARIAA encourages strong southern participation and innovative collaborations among various types of institutions in both Africa and Asia.

Note that each application must involve a proposed consortium of three to five institutions.
