Closing Date; April 4,2013.
IDRC invites submissions
of joint concept notes for the establishment of research consortia
under the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia
(CARIAA). Details about the call, eligibility, and how to apply are included in
the CARIAA call document. Consortia selected through the competitive
process outlined in section 7 of the call will receive grants of up to CA$15
million to conduct a common research program on climate change adaptation.
To reach as many vulnerable poor
people as possible, CARIAA will focus on the following three hot spots:
Ø
Semi-arid regions of Africa and part of South
and Central Asia where a large number of people depend on
climate-sensitive livelihoods such as agriculture and pastoralism;
Ø
Deltas of South Asia and Africa supporting large
populations whose livelihoods (e.g. agriculture and fishing) and place of
residence (e.g. urban floodplains, low-lying rural areas) are particularly
vulnerable to climate change; and
Ø
Glacier and snowpack dependent river basins
significantly affected by climate change, as for example in the highly
populated Himalayan floodplains where water quantity and quality is
likely to be significantly affected by climate change.
The CARIAA program will support
three research consortia, one for each hot spot. For the purposes of
CARIAA, a consortium is defined as a grouping of organizations (“members”)
participating in the design and delivery of a common research program on
climate change adaptation focused on a specific vulnerability hot spot.
