Closing Date: December 10,2013.
In 2012, PEP was granted funding by the Department
for International Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom (or UK Aid) and the International
Development Research Centre (IDRC) of
Canada to lead a new research initiative entitled “Policy Analysis on
Growth and Employment” (PAGE) in developing countries.
Find out more about the PAGE program
here - including the list of projects selected/supported under
the previous (2012) PAGE funding round. You may also download the PAGE-2 CFP
flyer, for circulation in your network(s).
Applicant teams are generally composed of at least one
senior researcher, leading several junior researchers, and must:
§ be
gender-balanced (at least 50% female researchers)
§ be
comprised exclusively of individuals born and living in a developing country.
Priority is given to low income
countries (LICs), fragile and/or conflict states, but proposals
are welcome from all developing countries
§ present
sufficient academic and/or professional background in economics research/policy
analysis
However, for each PAGE call for proposals, a different list
of specific priority issues - yet always under the broad theme of
inclusive growth and employment - are identified as especially relevant to
address specific knowledge gaps and policy needs in terms of evidence base.
These issues are identified by the PAGE policy
group - high-level development policy experts from different
regions of the world - in collaboration with PEP lead
researchers - international experts in the field of development
economics.
See below for the list of
priority issues for projects to be supported through the second
(2013) PAGE funding round:
§ Safety
net complementarities
§ Providing
social protection to the informal sector
§ Youth
employment and entrepreneurship
§ Employment
intensity of non-agricultural growth
§ Discrimination
in credit access for female entrepreneurs
§ China's
growth: challenges and opportunities for developing country labor markets
