Deadline:
November 30, 2004
The Poverty and Economic Policy (PEP) Research Network
brings together and provides support to developing
country researchers working to reduce poverty.
About PEP
PEP is composed of three tightly linked constituent
networks. The first - Community-Based Monitoring Systems
(CBMS) - designs and pilots community-based monitoring
and local development systems aimed at poverty in
its multidimensional sense. The second - Poverty Monitoring,
Measurement and Analysis (PMMA) - aims to develop
and apply analytical tools to monitor, measure and
understand poverty, and to analyze a wide range of
poverty issues. The third - Modeling and Policy Impact
Analysis (MPIA) uses economy-wide models as a "laboratory"
to identify and analyze the links between specific
policies and shocks and their eventual impacts on
poverty.
Call for Proposals
This call for research proposals concerns the PMMA
and MPIA networks and targets researchers residing
in developing countries. Both networks offer financial
($CAN 20,000 research grants), technical and scientific
support to member researchers. The PMMA network currently
focuses mainly on multidimensional poverty analysis,
public spending and intra household allocation. The
poverty impacts of growth, public spending and agricultural
policies are priority themes for the MPIA network.
Both networks also offer a special Gender Challenge
Fund for poverty studies on gender issues.
Proposals submitted before November 30, 2004 will
be considered for presentation at the June 13-17,
2005 PEP general meeting in Sri Lanka. To maximize
local capacity building, we particularly encourage
teams composed of a senior researcher supervising
several younger researchers particularly female researchers.
