In April 2024 we called for proposals to carry out short-term ‘actionable’ research on food security early action in pastoral areas of East Africa.
In October, the three selected projects started work, with reesults delivered in late 2025.
Proposals were asked to align with our challenge agenda and clearly set out the problems they will address, the outcomes and outputs we can expect and pathways to impact.
Read about each research accelerator project:
- Next-generation earth observation for anticipatory drought risk management in East African pastoral drylands (with University of Milan)
- Improved early warning of food insecurity: Integrating forecasts based on machine learning and anthropometric data into Kenya’s National Drought Monitoring Authority (with University of California)
- Strengthening proactive adaptation and early action systems to enhance food security and resilience to multiple hazards among pastoralists in the Borana Zone, Ethiopia. (with ADRA Denmark)
