Abstract

In West and North Africa, climate variability is increasingly influencing those aspects of human health that are affected by water quantity and water quality. As climate change is likely to exacerbate both, an ecosystem-based understanding of the phenomenon is critical to an effective response. This grant will support a research and capacity building program on water, health and climate change. Eight research teams from institutions in West and North Africa will be invited to participate in a project proposal development process, involving training, support and feedback from IDRC program staff. The final proposals will proceed through the formal review process, and up to five of them will be funded. The idea is to produce innovative options and evidence-based strategies for coping with the impact of climate change on the health and livelihoods of the poor.
