Application Instructions
Call for Proposals (Gender and Climate Change small grants)
Project Title: Analysis of gender barriers in the design and implementation of climate change related policy for agriculture and food security in Africa.
While it is recognized that women play an important role in agriculture, and food security at the household level, gender issues have been so far neglected in the climate change debate, both in the rural and urban areas. In Africa, women contribute to agricultural production and food security, while having in general limited access to livelihood resources. Addressing the equitable access to climate-proof technologies for men and women will improve the impacts of adaptation initiatives.
This project aims is to promote gender perspectives into the current adaptation national policy and practices for agriculture and food security. It will provide evidence-based knowledge to policy makers to legally mainstream gender into climate change, agriculture and food security policy. This will be achieved through research activities including the review of gaps and barriers, field data collection and analysis, the development of technical guidelines and the contextualization of legal framework.
Who is eligible?
Female scientists carrying out work in related program areas.
Dedicated female-led institutions, organizations, agencies undertaking activities in the territory of African countries
NGO,CSO and CBO: to be eligible, these organizations should demonstrate their credibility and track record in the areas on intervention.
