Call for proposals to promote and advance SDGs in South Asia in the fields of ecological sustainability and social well-being. Researchers from the CLOC South Asia member institutions and researchers endorsed by network members are welcome to apply.
Funding amounts up to CHF 5'000. Application Deadline 30 April, 2022.
Knowledge to Action (K2A) is looking to fund an activity that bases itself on available research results and involves conversion of academic research outputs into tools and processes that support awareness, advocacy and transformation of the UN SDGs. Examples are policy briefs, teaching material, seed-money to develop a social business model, proof of concept or prototype, workshops or blending research into popular media formats (websites, theatre, web-campaigns, comics, documentary films, etc).
K2A encourages proposals that contribute to:
- Valorising voices from the field or communities.
- Local and regional engagements.
- Science advisory mechanisms that inform policy including the arts into their outputs.
Researchers from South Asian countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) and Switzerland.
Applicants must be from or endorsed by a CLOC network partner. The complete list can be found on https://swissnex.org/india/k2a/
K2A encourages collaborative applications of multiple stakeholders. These can include non-academic members, e.g. NGOs, CBOs (Community Based Organisations) and advocacy groups, Communities of practice and Junior professionals in any field engaged with promoting SDGs. Please keep in mind that the main applicant needs to be a network member or endorsed by the network.
