Call for Expressions of Interest: Women Economic Empowerment in a Low-Carbon COVID-19 Recovery

Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is pleased to announce a new research funding opportunity, implemented through its Sustainable Inclusive Economies division. This call for expressions of interest aims to advance the generation and use of context-specific evidence that can contribute to women’s increased economic empowerment in the Global South, in the context of lower-income countries’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and growing climate crisis.

Scope and Eligibility

This CAD$ 10 million call is made available through an open competitive process targeting organizations based in low- and lower-middle-income countries, in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, South and South-East Asia, and the Middle East. It is designed for organizations that will contribute to building more inclusive and sustainable pandemic responses and recovery in low- and lower-middle-income countries and will support solutions-oriented research that addresses the following research questions:

  • In COVID-19 responses and recovery, what policy responses, interventions, business and investment initiatives, and women-led actions and organizations can effectively support women’s economic empowerment through the provision of inclusive and decent employment opportunities while addressing the growing climate crisis and creating a pathway for a climate-resilient economy? Which interventions and solutions have the potential for scale? 
  • What policies, business and investment initiatives, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises can promote women’s opportunities in sectors that have the highest potential to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon economy, such as energy, transport, infrastructure, tourism, agriculture, and natural resource conservation?  
  • What policies, business, and innovative finance initiatives can promote cross-border trade and value chains that promote quality opportunities for women while contributing to decarbonization and climate resilience? 
  • How can the transition to sustainable production and green jobs accelerate the COVID-19 recovery, and that create economic opportunities for women? What public policies and incentives can support these?

Call Details

The Sustainable Inclusive Economies division will allocate CAD$ 10 million through this call, with selected projects receiving funding between CAD $750,000 - CAD $ 1,000,00010 to 13 research projects will be funded with projects scheduled to be completed within a timeframe not exceeding 30 months, including all research activities and final reporting.
