IT INCLUDES THREE CATEGORIES: JAPANESE AWARD ON OUTSTANDING RESEARCH ON DEVELOPMENT (ORD), JAPANESE AWARD FOR MOST INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (MIDP), AND JAPAN SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT FUND AWARD (JSDF). THIS MAKES FOR A GREAT VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES IN THE COMPETITION, MAKING IT GDN'S ONLY PROGRAM TO INVOLVE BOTH RESEARCHERS AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTITIONERS. THE AWARDS COMPETITION RECOGNIZES EXCELLENCE IN POLICY-ORIENTED RESEARCH, IDENTIFIES TALENTS, SUPPORTS THE CAREER ADVANCEMENT OF RESEARCHERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AND FUNDS INNOVATIVE SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED BY NGOS AND BENEFITING MARGINALIZED GROUPS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2000, GDN HAS AWARDED ROUGHLY US$4 MILLION IN RESEARCH AND PROJECT GRANTS TO FINALISTS AND WINNERS. NEARLY 8,800 RESEARCHERS AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTITIONERS FROM LOW-INCOME OR MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE COMPETITION AND MORE THAN 200 AWARDS HAVE BEEN CONFERRED TILL DATE. CURRENTLY, ON TOP OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GRANTS AWARDED (2019 EDITION) AT GDN'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN BONN ON 23-25 OCTOBER 2019, GDN SUBMITTED A RESTRUCTURING OF THE PREVIOUS PHRD GRANT TO DEVELOP AN ONLINE PLATFORM TO MAP AND CONNECT ALL PREVIOUS GRANTEES OF THE COMPETITION INCLUDING A LAUNCH EVENT. THIS RESTRUCTURE ADDRESSED SAVINGS FROM THE PREVIOUS EDITIONS AND THEREFORE HAD NOT ADDITIONAL COSTS. THIS YEAR, DUE TO THE PANDEMIC MANY CONSTRAINTS ARE IN PLACE WITH MANY FLIGHT BANS, LOCKDOWNS AND CONSEQUENTLY CANCELED OR POSTPONED EVENTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAVING AN IMPACT NOT ONLY ON ONGOING PROJECTS BUT ALSO ON THE PLANNING OF ONGOING INITIATIVES LIKE THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE COMPETITION. IN LIGHT OF THIS, THE ENTIRE SELECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLINE INCLUDING THE COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING THAT THE FINALISTS ARE ENTITLED TO AND THE FINAL PRESENTATION TO A SELECTED JURY. CONSEQUENTLY, THE MIDP CATEGORY WAS POSTPONED FOR 2021 SINCE IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DO ALL THE NECESSARY SITE-VISITS AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS. IN 2021, THE COMPETITION WILL HAVE SIMULTANEOUSLY THE ORD AND 3 DIFFERENT MIDP CALLS WITH A TOTAL OF 12 AWARDS TO BE GIVEN (ORD 2021 - 3 PRIZES, MIDP 2019 - 3 PRIZES, MIDP 2020 - 3 PRIZES, AND MIDP 2021 - 3 PRIZES) WITH 3 JSDF TO FOLLOW UPON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MIDP AWARDED PROJECTS. 566018 541800 33173 RESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM - ("RCBP"). THIS PROJECT SUPPORTS QUALITY RESEARCH IN MANY COUNTRIES, INVOLVING LOCAL RESEARCH TEAMS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD. THE MULTI-COUNTRY STUDIES ALLOW FOR BOTH COMPREHENSIVE AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE ACROSS REGIONS AND COUNTRIES. - DOING RESEARCH ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIESTHE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT NETWORK (GDN) LAUNCHED AN INNOVATIVE PROGRAM TO INVESTIGATE SYSTEMATICALLY THE CHALLENGES OF DOING QUALITY SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. INFORMED BY A TWO-YEAR PILOT PHASE, THIS PROGRAM HAS PARTNERED WITH NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS FROM BOLIVIA, INDONESIA, MYANMAR AND NIGERIA TO IMPLEMENT THE DOING RESEARCH ASSESSMENTS (DRA): A METHOD FOR ANALYZING THE STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, CHALLENGES AND BOTTLENECKS THAT AFFECT QUALITY AND POLICY-RELEVANT SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH. EXCEPT FOR MYANMAR, WHICH IS FUNDED BY IDRC, ALL GRANTS ARE CURRENTLY FUNDED BY GDN. THE PROGRAM REPRESENTS AN INNOVATIVE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT AND ACT ON THE STATUS AND FUTURE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, AND GDN WILL LEAD THE AGGREGATION, BENCHMARKING AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF KNOWLEDGE THAT EMERGES FROM THE ASSESSMENT, SUPPORTING IMPLEMENTING PARTNERS TO USE FINDINGS TO GUIDE ACTION ON RESEARCH SYSTEM STRENGTHENING. AT THE GDN GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE IN BONN GERMANY IN OCTOBER 2019, THE 4 ONGOING TEAMS SHARED A PANEL TO PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS AND WERE PART OF A SIDE WHICH EXPLORED COMMON CHALLENGES AND SYNERGIES FROM INSTITUTIONS WORKING ON STRENGTHENING SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH SYSTEMS. A GROUP OF 35 AMONG GLOBAL TECHNICAL AGENCIES, RESEARCHERS, POLICY MAKERS AND DONORS DISCUSSED THE SUPPLY THE DEMAND AND THE INTEREST OF DONORS IN A COORDINATED EFFORT TO STEP UP SYSTEM STRENGTHENING WORK ACROSS DEVELOPMENT COUNTRIES. OVER THE COURSE OF 2020 A WEBINAR SERIES FOCUSED ON THE RESULTS OF THE DOING RESEARCH ASSESSMENTS IN BOLIVIA, INDONESIA, MYANMAR, AND NIGERIA HAS BEEN UNDERWAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE REPORTS. ON EACH WEBINAR THE REPORT IS PRESENTED AND THEN DISCUSSED BY REPRESENTATIVES OF DIFFERENT LEVEL OF THE SYSTEM IN THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AIMING TO HELP GUIDE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTION WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS. THE PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE EXPANDING AND BEING OPTIMIZED INFORMED BY THE INPUT FROM THE TEAMS THAT JUST FINISHED THEIR IMPLEMENTATION WITH EL SALVADOR PLANNED TO START IN NOVEMBER 2020.- BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES(LDC SCALE PHASE PROGRAM) A CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR INSTITUTIONS INTERESTED IN STRENGTHENING THE PRODUCTION AND USE OF POLICY-RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE ON THE LINKS BETWEEN THE ECONOMY AND THE ENVIRONMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED IN SPRING 2018 AS A FOLLOW-UP TO THE IDRC-FUNDED PROGRAM STRENGTHENING RESEARCH CAPACITIES IN LEAST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. LIKE THE IDRC-FUNDED PROGRAM THIS CALL FOCUSED ON DEMAND-LED PROPOSALS THAT SOUGHT TO IMPLEMENT HOME-GROWN IDEAS TO STRENGTHEN RESEARCH PRODUCTION TRAINING AND OUTREACH LOCALLY. OF THE TWO INSTITUTIONS SELECTED AFTER A MULTI-STAGE AND EXTERNAL SELECTION PROCESS ONLY THE VIETNAMESE GRANTEE HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED WITH THE CREATION OF A REGIONAL NETWORK OF RESEARCHERS WORKING ON ADAPTATION THROUGH ECONOMIC MODELLING TOOLS PIVOTING AROUND THE FOREIGN TRADE UNIVERSITY. THE GRANT FOR FIELDS OF VIEW, THE INDIA-BASED CO-WINNER OF THE SELECTION, COULD NOT BE ISSUED FOR STATUTORY REASONS (PENDING AUTHORIZATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA TO RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL FUNDING). THE PROGRAM, NOW CLOSED, STRENGTHENED THE CASE FOR DEMAND-DRIVEN SUPPORT TO INSTITUTIONS THROUGH MICRO-GRANTS, AND SUPPORTED THE RETHINKING ON THE MENTORS ROLE SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF THE MENTORS ROLE IN THE EVALUATION OF INSTITUTIONAL CHANGE EFFORTS.
