Recognising both the growing impact of climate change in developing countries and the growing role of ICTs, Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is funding a two-year project on ICTs, climate change and development. The project is coordinated by the University of Manchester’s Centre for Development Informatics.

As part of the project, a series of short case studies will be commissioned on various aspects of this topic. Case studies should be original and evidence-based analyses of already-implemented (i.e. not proposed) initiatives related to ICTs and climate change in developing countries. They could be related to use of ICTs in climate change mitigation, monitoring, adaptation or strategy in developing countries.

Selected authors will be commissioned to write the case study and will be paid £600. Proposals should be submitted by February 11, 2011 to niccd.project@gmail.com.
