Website LinkIntroductionThe purpose of this Request for Concept Notes (RfCN) is to invite concept notes fromresearchers within organizations based in Kenya and Nigeria to conduct innovative andfeasible action research under the Climate Adaptation in Agriculture (ARCAA) program.ARCAA supports locally led climate-adaptation action research aimed at informingclimate-smart agricultural innovations and accelerating their adoption and scaling in Kenyaand Nigeria. This RfCN is jointly issued by RTI International and RUFORUM, with fundingfrom the Gates Foundation.About RTIRTI International is an independent, scientific research institute dedicated to improving thehuman condition by turning knowledge into practice. RTI publishes more than 1,000 peerreviewed journal articles annually, often in collaboration with global research partners, with afocus on informing decision-making and public policy. RTI also implements internationaldevelopment programs, with experience in more than 100 countries around the world. RTI'sagriculture and food systems practice conducts research and implements programs thatsustain the environment and support equitable, thriving communities. RTI has worked withclients across the public, private, foundation, and nonprofit sectors globally.About RUFORUMRegional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM) is a network ofuniversities across 40 countries in Africa. RUFORUM collaborates globally with otheruniversity networks, development partners, policymakers, and leaders to leverage synergiesand work towards shared objectives in delivering science solutions for development, humancapital development, and institutional reform in the African Higher Agricultural Educationsystem. The network is African owned, aligned with country goals, and thrives in multistakeholder engagement that promotes equity and implements gender responsiveinterventions. RUFORUM is nested within continental and global frameworks, including theComprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), Africa’s Agenda2063, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We recognize that youth arethe driving force behind change and are leading the charge for a better Africa.Background on ARCAAAfrica is disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, yet most climateresearch on the continent is led by scientists based outside Africa.1 This imbalance limitsrepresentation of local perspectives and perpetuates dependency on external solutions.To address this gap, RTI and RUFORUM, with funding from the Gates Foundation, havelaunched the ARCAA program. ARCAA aims to support locally led action research thatincreases adoption and scaling of innovations and technologies to strengthen farmers’adaptation to climate change in Kenya and Nigeria. Ultimately, the results of the actionresearch funded through ARCAA are expected to meet the needs of small-scale producersby enhancing their productivity, income, and nutrition in the face of climate shocks andenvironmental stresses.The program takes an “action research” approach. ARCAA expects funded action researchto be guided by the following principles set out by the Adaptation Research Alliance: Read more

Website/Application LinkSTIAS provides and maintains an independent ‘creative space for the mind’ to advance scientific inquiry and engaged scholarship across all disciplines. The Institute is global in its reach and local in its African roots, and values original thinking and innovation in this context. The Fellowship programme comprises projects which are entirely self-generated and proposed by applicants, as well as projects or programmes initiated and led by STIAS typically with select partner organisations. A prospective STIAS Fellow may apply either individually, or as part of a team, or as an Iso Lomso early career scholar, or as an artist-in-residence. The STIAS terms run from mid-January to mid-June (first semester), and from mid-July to mid-December (second semester). The Fellowship programme is guided by the Institute’s commitment to being a creative space for the mind, an inter/cross generation space as well as a cross-disciplinary space that encourages cross-pollination of ideas and hence gives preference to projects that will tap into, and benefit from, a multi-disciplinary discourse while also contributing unique perspectives to individual, collective and engaged discourses, an opportunity for a Fellow beyond self. STIAS Fellows are, except in prior agreed-to circumstances, expected to be resident at STIAS for the duration of a Fellowship in pursuit of their proposed research project. Read more
