Funding Opportunity

The IGC is currently running a special call for proposals for economic research on urgent or time-sensitive policy issues in Liberia and Sierra Leone, as it is recognised that a faster project commissioning process would be beneficial for time-sensitive projects in these countries during this crucial post-Ebola recovery period. The IGC is also welcoming requests from policymakers and development partners in Liberia and Sierra Leone for the commissioning of research on urgent or time-sensitive policy issues.

Proposals falling under any of the IGC’s research themes – State, Firms, Energy, and Cities– will be considered for funding under this special call for proposals, provided that sufficient urgency or time-sensitivity can be demonstrated to warrant project commissioning outside of the IGC’s regular call for proposals.
