SHLC CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT ACCELERATION FUND (CDAF)

As part of SHLC’s commitment to extend its work to the capacity strengthening of researchers in the global south, we developed the Capacity Development Acceleration Fund (CDAF). This scheme has supported 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.
