SGCI call for project proposals: Strengthening the Capacities of Science Granting Councils in Gender and Inclusion
Eligibility:
Proposals from consortia must name one lead organization. The lead organization must be an African organization (organizations with independent legal registration in an African country).
Consortium members may include other African organizations; national, regional, or international offices of multilateral organizations or international NGOs; or other organizations from outside Africa.
How to Apply:
The SGCI invites project proposals from organizations (including think tanks, institutes, universities, and agencies) with proven experience and track records to further deepen ongoing work with Councils to enhance GEI. The work, to be determined in consultation with Councils, may allow them to initiate and/or deepen various forms of strategies, activities, studies and additional mechanisms to implement cross-cutting work on gender and inclusivity. It could include offering training and technical support to SGCs (and related organizations such as Commissions or Funds) in specific areas of GEI in STI, supporting stakeholders’ dialogues on GEI, and commissioning research on specific gender related themes such as: a) the status of women and other groups in research and the barriers they face to participating in STI; b) the impact of gender diversity on research; and c) evaluation of current initiatives by the Councils and other approaches to promote GEI in research and organizational practice.
