Deadline: 15 May 2012
The Institute of Development Studies (Knowledge Services Department) is running a project that aims to take learning from local knowledge systems and organisations to inform understanding of hunger reduction and climate adaptation on the ground in two focal countries – Ethiopia and Malawi.
Our approach is to create an 'aggregation of blogs'. We are busily collating and following existing blogs that will serve as the stimulus material for an online discussion that interested parties can take forward and learn from.
In the online debate we will be looking at the outcomes of Rio+20 World Summit in June for hunger and climate adaptation and examine how these can become a reality on the ground in Malawi and Ethiopia.
The two core pillars of the programme of work are around Hunger Reduction and Adaptation to Climate Change, with cross-cutting themes of gender, resilience, capacity and joint learning.
Our blog of blogs will launch later in May. To be considered for inclusion bloggers need to:
- Regularly post new material (minimum of twice a month.)
- Write on subjects closely related to climate adaptation and / or hunger reduction.
- Be highly relevant to Ethiopia or Malawi.
Timeline
- Identify possible bloggers as soon as possible and by 15th May 2012 latest.
- Aggregation of blogs live from end May to end of June.
- A facilitated online discussion will be hosted by IDS shortly after the 'Rio+20' Summit
