Subject: Climate Adaptation Workshop
The Institute of Development Studies and Action Aid International are organising a climate adaptation workshop in Kenya in late March. We are looking for people to submit project concept notes, which if successful will be paid flight costs, accommodation and an honorarium to attend. Adaptation can be defined broadly and we welcome any project that links climate change with DRR. The workshop is an opportunity for people to showcase their ideas in advance of the DFID/IDRC climate change adaptation call which is due very soon.
Please could you distribute this call (attached below) to anyone you think may be interested in attending?
Thank you,
Tom
