LANSA INVITES HIGH QUALITY RESEARCH PROPOSALS BY AUGUST 21, 2015.
Applications that propose new and innovative interventions in any area of agriculture for nutrition and / or to test the feasibility of scaling-up such innovations are invited. LANSA is particularly interested in interventions that recognise the importance of on-going environmental changes (including climate and water resource scarcity).
The Responsive Window facility seeks to engender a wider sense of engagement among national and regional stakeholders in the core challenge of improving the impact of agri-food systems, policies, programmes and interventions on nutrition. This is LANSA's second responsive window call and focuses on research
Pillar 3, which aims to define a suite of interventions in agriculture that have the potential to have positive impacts on nutrition outcomes, especially in women and children.
Four excellent studies were funded under the First Call for Proposals after a competitive process and the
grantees are now partnering directly with LANSA in delivering regionally-relevant research outputs.
LANSA is a research programme consortium (funded by the
UK’s Department for International Development) that seeks to address the following core question: “
How can South Asian agriculture and related food policies and interventions be designed and implemented to increase their impacts on nutrition, especially the nutritional status of children and adolescent girls?” The programme covers four countries in the South Asian region: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
