The African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) and the United Nations University's World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) are engaged in a collaborative program focused on climate change issues. Proposals for research activities in the area of climate change and green development are welcomed from scholars throughout the AERC network.

• Technical proposals should cover (i) the research questions and hypotheses, (ii) relevance of the issues to be explored, (iii) methods, (iv) data to be employed including some descriptive statistics and (v) a list of the three to five papers from the literature that inform your proposal.
• The maximum grant application is $15,000. Detailed budgets are not required.
