How can artificial intelligence (AI) help organisations practising or supporting research-to-action for locally led nature restoration?
The REDAA Community has shown an increasing interest in AI and related technologies, and how these can support locally led restoration. We need to know how to harness the opportunities they present and avoid or mitigate any negative effects of AI.
NOTE: This event has now reached its maximum capacity. To receive a recording of the webinar and a list of FAQs, please sign up for the REDAA newsletter. If you have any questions, our team will be happy to assist you. Contact us at enquiries@redaa.org.
REDAA is excited to announce that a second grant call, aimed at scaling up locally led restoration, will open on Monday, 13 May.
This funding round introduces larger-sized 'Programme Grants' of £1,000,000 - £1,500,000. Up to nine grants will be awarded to locally led partnerships.
REDAA recently published three scoping studies conducted by the United Nations University Institute for Natural Resources Africa and ICLEI Africa. These studies propose potential priorities for the REDAA programme in West, Central, Eastern and Southern Africa.
To explore the findings REDAA also held an online workshop with experts from across the region. Insights from this workshop will be published in the coming weeks.
This work builds on previous scoping work for sub-Saharan Africa and will enrich the REDAA Strategy and upcoming grant calls.
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI) has been selected to carry out a distinct project on wetland ecosystem modelling and economic valuation in the Kalu Oya Basin, Sri Lanka. This follows a joint open call from The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Ogata Research Institute and REDAA in July 2023.
The project, which runs for one year, will focus on better understanding and communicating the current and future value of ecosystem services in the Kalu Oya wetlands in a changing climate.
Following the successful Frontiers Symposium in January 2023, REDAA has been supporting The Royal Academy of Engineering to fund four projects using digital tools to help prevent and reverse environmental degradation in Africa and Asia.
On 20 June 2023 the REDAA team hosted a webinar for potential grant applicants. A full recording of this event is now available, along with a write up of the question-and-answer session.
The webinar details what kind of research-to-action initiatives REDAA funds, who is eligible to apply, and the application process.
We are pleased to announce REDAA’s first grant call is now open! This call focuses on ‘medium-sized’ Project Grants of between £200,000 and £500,000 (GBP) over two to four years. Projects are expected to start from 1 January 2024.
The deadline for applications is 31 July 2023, 23:59 British Summer Time (UTC+1).
One grant will be awarded for this project, which is distinct from the current REDAA grant call.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Ogata Research Institute and REDAA are inviting applications to undertake a specific project to carry out wetland ecosystem modelling and economic valuation in the Kalu Oya Basin, Sri Lanka. The project call is open for 6 weeks from 24th July 2023 and the deadline for submitting applications is 4th September 2023.
