IDS has partnered with IDRC to provide five research projects, funded through their Clean Energy for Development (“CEDCA”) initiative, with knowledge translation and communications support. Our practical support and services are designed to supplement the global research expertise of the cohort.
IDS will focus on identifying coherent bodies of knowledge on clean energy transition, MSMEs, women and youth that cut across the cohort, and support learning and innovation around planning impact pathways, positioning evidence for use and engagement. IDS’s role will focus on facilitating peer to peer learning, co-producing knowledge synthesis outputs and helping to identify and access relevant global and regional policy spaces. This is a highly collaborative process with IDRC and the CEDCA research teams.
The five research projects are:
- The Role of MSMEs in Fostering Inclusive and Equitable Economic Growth in the Context of the Clean Energy Transition in MENA, led by the Economic Research Forum
- A Just Energy Transition: Localisation, Decent Work, SMMEs and Sustainable Livelihoods, led by the Institute for Economic Justice
- Decentralised Renewable and Inclusive Energy Systems in Bolivia, led by Fundación Bariloche
- Innovate for Clean Powered Agro Technologies, led by United Nations University – Institute for Natural Resources in Africa
- Renewable Energy, Agriculture Value and Entrepreneurship: Barriers, Opportunities, and Policy Implications, led by Partnership for Economic Policy
