Africa Research & Impact Network Accountable Adaptation Fellowship 2025 (up to £4,500)

The Accountable Adaptation Initiative, in partnership with the Africa Research and Impact Network (ARIN) and University College London (UCL), is launching a mini-grants program. They are offering up to eight small grants to support research on innovative accountability mechanisms for climate change adaptation in Africa. This initiative aims to foster new solutions to enhance accountability in climate adaptation efforts, empowering researchers to explore impactful strategies for addressing Africa’s climate challenges.

Researchers will design and implement projects with overall responsibility for the research and grant management with the support of an academic mentor. ARIN and UCL will provide ongoing support, opportunities for networking and an in-person write shop to develop a publication. The projects will explore specific examples of improving accountability for adaptation in Africa.
