*************************
Global Affairs Canada (GAC) has awarded funding to PEP for a new research initiative on “Climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa: Impacts and responses for women and girls”. Through this three-year initiative (2020-2023), PEP will support up to four (4) research projects, each in a different sub-Saharan African country.
This initiative aims to address critical capacity gaps on both (supply and demand) sides of the research-policy nexus and produce the evidence that local and national policymakers need to inform specific policy interventions for:
- Increasing women’s leadership in defining and implementing solutions to mitigate or adapt to climate change effects, and
- Mitigating the effects of climate change on gender equality.
To ensure the relevance of the research and its use for informing policy, the projects will be led by teams of local researchers and government officers.
