> agricultural commercialisations; growth and social protection;
> policy processes; and science technology and innovation.
>
> This year, they launched research in four new areas: climate change
> and agriculture; land and tenure; pastoralism; and youth and
> agriculture. Furthermore, the FAC has recently received funding from
> the UK Department for International Development (DfID) to support a
> three-year capacity-building programme for African and UK-based
> early career professionals.
>
> This exciting new opportunity for grants is open to young
> researchers who have recently completed their degree in an
> appropriate development-related field. The focus is on junior
> candidates who have a strong interest in conducting research on
> agricultural policy issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. Eligible women
> candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
