The Accountable Adaptation Initiative is launching a mini-grants program. The program is open to early to mid-career researchers from the Global South either based at African Universities and/or researchers working on topics focusing on adaptation in Africa. The program is being run by the Africa Research and Impact Network (ARIN) and University College London (UCL). We are offering up to eight small grants for research into novel accountability mechanisms relating to climate change adaptation in Africa. The maximum grant size available is GBP 4,500.
Researchers will design and implement projects with overall responsibility for the research and grant management with the support of an academic mentor. ARIN and UCL will provide ongoing support, opportunities for networking and an in-person write shop to develop a publication. The projects will explore specific examples of improving accountability for adaptation in Africa.
Applications should include:
Written proposal of no more than 2 pages;
Short indicative budget detailing direct costs if needed;
Proof of academic qualifications;
Two letters of recommendation;
CV and letter of motivation
Application Deadline – 2nd January, 2025
