The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) brokers practical and tailored knowledge on climate and development for use and application in decision-making in the Global South. This project supports CDKN’s ability to engage with existing climate change adaptation research projects through strategic events designed to build partnerships that can enhance the impact of existing research at country, regional, and international levels. CDKN will be supported to engage with existing IDRC projects, such as Climate Resilient Cities in South America and the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia, as well as research projects funded by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. This research project will enhance CDKN’s ability to connect these different initiatives, support the application of their knowledge, contribute to the sustainability of their results, and generate linkages to emerging initiatives. A key set of activities that will be supported is a series of regional workshops intended to enhance partnerships between CDKN and existing or recently closed research projects in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The primary focus of these workshops will be to co-develop partnership proposals for impact-oriented work that will be carried out through support from CDKN. This will therefore enable CDKN to pursue a robust and transparent engagement process to identify research partners where opportunities for further impact and scalable solutions are high. Selected research partners will then engage in a “co-delivery” process where CDKN will offer in-kind knowledge management, communications, and engagement expertise in the delivery of different interventions, in addition to funds to support activities. This research support project will also provide resources for strategic events at the global level to convene key partners and leverage important partnerships in response to opportunities that arise on the global stage.

At the sixth regional meeting of the 14 South Asian think tanks in Bangkok in December 2016, the participants collectively highlighted the strong need for capturing and documenting the transformative role that Think Tank Initiative (TTI) support has played in their organizations over the past seven to eight years. Furthermore, there was strong will to ensure that the stories of organizational change in the lives of think tanks and their directors are communicated to help demonstrate the value of core support in strengthening think tanks in ways unparalleled by project funding, particularly in creating conditions for long-term sustainability, strengthening organizational systems, and enhancing the effectiveness of think tanks. IDRC is supporting this initiative to document and share experiences and lessons learned, in collaboration with the Institute for Social and Environmental Transition – Nepal. The directors of all 14 TTI-supported institutions will contribute to a publication detailing how core support from TTI helped them strengthen research quality, operational effectiveness, and policy engagement. The Think Tank Initiative (TTI) is a multi-funder program dedicated to strengthening independent policy research institutions, or think tanks, in developing countries. The program aims to enhance their ability to provide sound research that informs and influences policy. This second TTI phase (2014‒2019) will fund 43 institutions, helping them consolidate their role as credible development actors in their countries, and in some cases, regionally, and internationally.

T hey will benefit from EcoSan toilet components and smokeless stove components provided by the project. For other beneficiaries support will be mainly technical advice and training for ensuring the proper location and construction of toilets their maintenan ce and utilization of urine and compost in organic farming. This component will be coordinated with the VDC and District level water sanitation and hygiene coordination committees' work aiming at Open Defecation Free Devichaur. The technical inputs are i ntegrated with preventive health awareness through the Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHV) who will continue to be capacitated.The income generation activities (IGA) will be continued and experiences from pilot projects disseminated within Devichaur. Training providing microloans and facilitating the services and financing from District offices will be used to obtain the goal of poverty alleviation with women's role as the main cross-cutting aspect. The environmental sustainability of the new IGA p roducts will be ensured taking into consideration climate change resilience such as erosion risk mitigation.
