SHAPE-SEA is happy to share our partner, SEI-Asia’s upcoming programmes.
- The Joint Action (JA) Grant is intended to support projects that can create impact by applying existing evidence-based research or innovation in practice. Grants will support a consortium of researchers and their boundary partners from the Mekong Region, not for conducting normal research but for applying existing research or innovations for creating more impact on policy or practice “in reducing water insecurity for allâ€. The total funds available for this round is 900,000 SEK for 2 projects led by the applicants from Lao PDR, Cambodia, or Myanmar for projects with a duration of 1.5-2 years. The project budget shall not exceed approximately US$ 45,000 per project (SEK 450,000 per project). The total project funds can cover activities within one country. The activities in other countries could be covered if they are necessary in order to achieve the impact in targeted country.
