CIDA-Canada Fund for African Resilience (Canada Fund)
Please reply to: Krista Montgomery (krista.montgomery@utoronto.ca)
The aim of this call for proposals is to support projects that will significantly improve and increase food security and/or economic growth in an African country through the reduction of the impact of climate change. Proposals must be large scale, self-sustaining once implemented, and achieve demonstrable results and outcomes.
Eligibility
Those wishing to be the Lead Applicant on a proposal from UofT must hold a faculty appointment at UofT.
Program Highlights
• CIDA will only consider projects with a budget of $2 million or greater.
• CIDA will contribute up to 85 percent of the total project cost, meaning the applicant must arrange for 15% contributions from other sources. Higher contributions by applicants will factor into the proposal assessment.
• Each applicant must have a local partner in a CIDA Africian country of focus.
• Given the short time frame of CIDA's call, proposals requiring environmental assessment will not considered.
• Local partner(s) in Africa must be able to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with UofT.
Important Note to all who are interested in this call:
UofT can submit two applications. As a result, those wishing to apply must notify Research Services no later than March 1, 2012 of their intention to submit an application.
(If there are more than two notices received by this date, an internal review panel will be established to select the two applications that will move forward in which case a preliminary draft will be required by March 16, 2012.
First Steps
• Applicants must complete the Internal Notification of Intent Form which can be downloaded here and submit to Krista Montgomery by March 1, 2012. We will advise all applicants, if more than two expressions of interest are received.
