DIIS awarded Initiative Grant from FFU

Inter-locked crises, competing value chains and food security in Africa


The Consultative Research Committee for Development Research (FFU) has awarded DKK 200,000 for an Initiative Grant Application entitled ‘Inter-locked crises, competing value chains and food security in Africa’ to the ‘Trade and Development’ Research Group at DIIS – in collaboration with researchers at CIRAD-Montpellier and UNEP RISŲ Centre/DTU Climate Centre. Only two out of 17 applications were funded this round.
 
The grant is in support of the development of a full research and capacity building programme application with partners in Africa. The main objective is to examine how the 3F crises (food, fuel and finance) are affecting the configuration of food and biofuel value chains and access to food on the continent.
