Deadline: 15 June 2024
The Aegis Trust is pleased to launch a second call for “Thematic Working Group” (TWG) research proposals which essentially consist of exploratory research on topical issues within a short period of time not longer than six months.
Rwandan society and the broader region are very dynamic, and research often struggles to catch up with fast-changing environments. The Thematic Working Group Scheme offers an opportunity for researchers to catch up with those changes. Applicants are invited to submit proposals on a specific theme they consider under-researched but of significant societal relevance. Research outputs will be presented in different formats, including articles and policy briefs.
The goal of the thematic working group scheme is to provide timely analytical contributions to emerging issues in society through exploratory thematic or case studies on topical issues for Rwandan society and/or the region.
Each thematic working group is comprised of two research experts with a proven track record of conducting research in (the) field(s) covered by the proposed topic. The two applying experts will identify policymakers working in their chosen topic area(s) to provide support with advocacy during the research process or provide a dissemination plan after the team has produced results.
