2nd Call guidelines - Global and thematic research projects

Dear all,

The 2^nd call for proposals for global research projects is officially being launched with the following timeline:

The main objective of the call is to conduct original global and thematic research on the drivers and dynamics of economic and social inequalities in low and middle income countries, and most successful policy responses to address them. After the first call, launched in 2017, three research projects have been accepted for funding. Their focus evolves around the issues of inequality and taxation, equity in health spending and higher education and inequality.

The research projects to be submitted under this second call will have to cover the broad spectrum of inequalities in order to provide a holistic understanding on their drivers, consequences and how they are affected, positively or negatively, by public policies. The research projects will have to take a cross-country or regional approach in order to highlight a diversity of experiences and lessons learnt with regards to the dynamics of inequalities and how they are impacted by public policies. This call for proposals represents one of the activities implemented under the umbrella of the action and its aim is to initiate and mobilise a global partnership between like-minded donors.

Please find attached the call guidelines for the submission of the research proposals.

Kindly submit your proposals by 06/04/2018, C.O.B., to researchfacilityinequality@afd.fr. Any proposal submitted beyond this date will not be considered.
