Call for Proposals on The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in South Africa

Being among the poorest provinces of South Africa, Limpopo province was already particularly vulnerable to climate variabilities prior to the Covid-19 crisis, with predicted negative impact to the economy, natural resources, community livelihoods and health. The Covid-19 crisis will, almost certainly, exacerbate and compound the challenges for addressing the SDGs in Limpopo province. The LH Africa is launching a fast track call for applications from Swiss academic institutions that can support the partners’ efforts in Limpopo province to accelerate the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, especially SDGs 3 (health), 5 (gender), 6 (water sanitation and hygiene) and 13 climate), in the Limpopo province to mitigate some of the impacts of Covid-19.

The current seed money call aims at developing new or consolidating existing partnerships with institutions in South Africa. It will offer to the collaborating institutions an opportunity for opening or strengthening their potential of long-term collaboration and follow-up activities.
