NWO organises two Q&A sessions for consortia working on their pre-proposal for the NL-CGIAR call ‘The Water- Food nexus in rainfed agri-food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: socio-economics and governance’. During these one-hour sessions, consortia have the opportunity to ask questions about the Call for Proposals and the application process.
The Q&A sessions will help clear up ambiguities, thus avoiding possible delays or errors in the application process. Direct contact with the organisers enables consortia to make better-informed choices and improve the quality of their proposals.
Please note: the deadline for submitting pre-proposals is 15 October 14:00:00 CEST.
About the NL-CGIAR WFN call
With the predicted increased severity of dry spells in Sub-Saharan Africa, the moisture holding capacity of the soil as buffer against agricultural production losses becomes more important. With the NL-CGIAR call ‘The Water-Food nexus in rainfed agri-food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: socio-economics and governance’, research consortia will generate insights that contribute to scaling up of soil moisture retention practices. Consortia with researchers from CGIAR Research Centres, Sub-Saharan African knowledge institutes and Dutch knowledge institutes (including universities of applied sciences), as well as stakeholders from National Agricultural Research and Extension Services (NARES) and cooperation partners from local/regional/national governments are invited to submit a research proposal to the Dutch research council (NWO).’
