Capacity Development Acceleration Fund
The SHLC Capacity Development Acceleration Fund (CDAF) is now closed for applications. The fund will support a visiting research fellowship programme, as well as pilot research, knowledge mobilisation and research management projects, to help tackle urban, health and education challenges in neighbourhoods across fast-growing cities in developing countries.
