Framework
Initiator:
Funding programmes:
- BMZ - BEAF Project funding
- BMZ - BEAF PostDoc Program
- BMZ - Small Grants for International Agricultural Research
The main objective of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in funding International Agricultural Research is to provide a strategic instrument for enhancing research on scientific and technological innovations concerning sustainable agri-cultural development, focusing on the impact research has on the poor populations in devel-oping countries.
Research support addresses policy issues, the social, environmental and technological di-mensions of research, the training of professionals and the dissemination of information. Funding is provided for the International Agricultural Research Centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), Challenge Programs and two Non-CG International Agricultural Research Centers (IARC).
Various funding mechanisms are applied, namely (i) Project Funding, (ii) The PostDoc Pro-gram, (iii) Integrated Experts and Young Professionals in collaboration with the Centrum fuer Internationale Migration und Entwicklung (CIM), and (iv) The Small Grants Program. The present guidelines deal with Project Funding only.
Field of research:
Sustaining biodiversity for current and future generations
Sub-fields of research:
Strengthen knowledge of under-utilized plant genetic resources and identify opportunities for their use by the poor.
Germplasm of key under-utilized plant species is collected, conserved and characterized.
Improved processes, institutions, and capacity are developed and promoted to enhance the conservation and use of UPGR for the benefit of the poor.
Field of research:
Producing more and better food at lower cost through genetic improvements (2b) Tolerance to selected abiotic stresses
Sub-fields of research:
To enhance the tolerance of crop species to selected abiotic stresses and so increase agricultural productivity and reduce risk in unfavorable agricultural environments.
Field of research:
Reducing rural poverty through agricultural diversification and emerging opportunities for high-value commodities and products (3a) Increasing income from fruit and vegetables
Sub-fields of research:
Identify key species for research and assess their factor and product markets
Enhance production of selected fruit and vegetables through improvement of farming systems
Field of research:
Reducing rural poverty through agricultural diversification and emerging opportunities for high-value commodities and products (3b) Income increases from livestock
Sub-fields of research:
Opportunities for livestock growth in high potential areas are identified and implemented sustainably.
Management of the intensification in livestock production is improved to limit the negative impacts on the poor and the environment.
Field of research:
Poverty alleviation and sustainable management of water, land and forest resources (4a) Integrated land, water and forest management at landscape level
Sub-fields of research:
To develop analytical methods and tools for the management of multiple use landscapes with a focus on sustainable productivity enhancement.
To enhance the management of landscapes though changing stakeholder awareness and capacity for social-ecological planning at landscape and farm levels.
Establish effective rights and opportunities to ensure that the poor benefit equitably from forests and tree resources.
Optimize long-term productive use of water resources in river basins.
Creating multiple benefits and improved governance of environmental resources through the harmonization of inter-sectoral policies and institutions.
Field of research:
Improving policies and facilitating institutional innovation to support sustainable reduction of poverty and hunger (5c) Rural institutions and their governance General goal: Enhance the role that rural organizations and innovative institutional partner
Sub-fields of research:
Identify mechanisms for the strengthening of producers’ organizations and for modes of participatory research.
Identify new forms of partnership with NARS, the private sector, public extension agencies, NGOs and producers’ organisations, and public agencies from other sectors, such as envi-ronment and health to enhance the conduct and impact from agricultural rese
