Deadline: 12 October, 2020
The Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d programme) has called for submission of proposals for the Transformation Accelerating Grants (TAGs).
The grants allow teams of r4d researchers and implementing partners (e.g., policymakers and development practitioners) to make use of the knowledge, tools and technologies developed within r4d projects through translation and implementation initiatives.
TAGs focus on co-creation, social learning, technology transfer and transformative actions, with the ultimate aim to accelerate transformation towards sustainable development and reduce poverty in countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The r4d programme supports research aimed at solving global problems with a focus on least developed, low and middle income countries.

Eligibility

- In principle, at least one project partner must be based at an institution in a partner country of the r4d programme
- Implementation partners or academic project partners from any r4d partner country (including Switzerland) can be part of the applying team
