Synthesis and scoping to inform future Climate-Resilient Food Systems’ programming Synthèse et cadrage pour guider la programmation future de Systèmes alimentaires résilients au climat As part of the development of its research investment, IDRC’s Climate-Resilient Food Systems (CRFS) program is using the current financial year to integrate lessons across the different parts of its current and past portfolio, both in terms of relevance for new large-scale research investments and to ensure programming is fit for purpose in the post-pandemic era. 

The objective is to leverage the learning process in parallel with a scoping exercise that will help narrow the parameters of CRFS’ research investments for Strategy 2030, in particular for a significant investment in the medium term to ensure focused and meaningful impact. Given the shifting global environment and policy priorities in the wake of the pandemic, this will clarify IDRC’s position and added value. Through this learning and scoping exercise, CRFS will also pre-identify research consortiums in geographical areas of interest that could apply a multidisciplinary lens in this emerging field. Dans le cadre du développement de ses investissements en recherche, le programme Systèmes alimentaires résilients au climat (SARC) du CRDI utilise l'exercice financier en cours pour intégrer les leçons tirées des différentes parties de son portefeuille actuel et passé, à la fois en termes de pertinence pour les nouveaux investissements en recherche à grande échelle et pour s'assurer que la programmation est adaptée à l'ère post-pandémique. 

L'objectif est de tirer parti du processus d'apprentissage parallèlement à un exercice de cadrage qui contribuera à restreindre les paramètres des investissements en recherche du programme SARC pour la Stratégie 2030, en particulier pour un investissement important à moyen terme afin de garantir des retombées ciblées et significatives. Compte tenu de l'évolution du contexte mondial et des priorités politiques à la suite de la pandémie, cela permettra de préciser la position et la valeur ajoutée du CRDI. Grâce à cet exercice d'apprentissage et de cadrage, le programme SARC déterminera également au préalable des consortiums de recherche dans des zones géographiques d'intérêt qui pourraient appliquer une perspective multidisciplinaire dans ce domaine émergent.
Engaging Canadians on the future of international development after COVID-19 Mobiliser les Canadiens pour l’avenir du développement international après la COVID-19 Despite the current scale of development challenges, popular sentiment across the Canadian political spectrum around international development is characterized by observers as ambivalent. Further, the view that domestic needs should receive priority has the potential to gain increased traction as Canada emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic and begins to assess its long-term impacts. With support from IDRC, the Canadian International Council will convene a series of events to engage Canadians around international development and foster national discussions. It will also conduct market research to inform the planned re-launch of the OpenCanada web portal. Malgré l’ampleur actuelle des défis en matière de développement, les observateurs estiment que le sentiment populaire à travers le spectre politique canadien est ambivalent autour de la question du développement international. En outre, l’idée selon laquelle les besoins intérieurs doivent être prioritaires pourrait gagner du terrain à mesure que le Canada sort de la pandémie de COVID-19 et commence à évaluer ses effets à long terme. Avec le soutien du CRDI, le Conseil international du Canada organisera une série d’événements pour mobiliser les Canadiens autour du développement international et favoriser un dialogue national. Il réalisera également une étude de marché pour étayer le relancement prévu du portail Web OpenCanada.
Accelerating the impact of the Economics of Tobacco Control Research Initiative Accélérer l’incidence de l’Initiative de recherche sur la dimension économique de la lutte antitabac The Economics of Tobacco Control (ETC) Research Initiative is a five-year partnership between IDRC and Cancer Research UK to address the health and development challenges posed by tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). By supporting collaborative research that provides the economic rationale for tobacco control in LMICs, the Initiative will encourage the use of robust local evidence to better inform and implement effective tobacco control measures, such as taxation and other economic incentives.

Under the ETC Initiative, seven joint research teams are working across 18 countries to produce new and updated evidence specific to local contexts to improve the design and implementation of tobacco control policies. To bring this knowledge into use in decision-making, this knowledge accelerator project will increase the accessibility and relevance of the research produced through the ETC Initiative. Synergy grants will maximize the uptake and collective impact of this knowledge and enhance leadership and collaboration among the multi-disciplinary teams of the ETC initiative. These grants will support peer learning and enable influential and informed champions of effective economic tools to curb the tobacco epidemic, highlighting the gender and equity impacts of these policies. L’Initiative de recherche sur la dimension économique de la lutte antitabac (ETC) est un partenariat quinquennal entre le CRDI et Cancer Research UK visant à remédier aux problèmes de développement et de santé inhérents à la consommation de tabac dans les pays à faibles revenus et à revenus intermédiaires. En soutenant la recherche collaborative qui fournit la justification économique de la lutte antitabac dans les pays à faibles revenus et à revenus intermédiaires, l’initiative encouragera l’utilisation de preuves locales solides pour mieux informer et mettre en œuvre des mesures efficaces de lutte antitabac, telles que la taxation et d’autres incitations économiques.

Dans le cadre de l’Initiative ETC, sept équipes de recherche conjointes travaillent dans 18 pays pour produire des données nouvelles et actualisées propres aux contextes locaux afin d’améliorer la conception et la mise en œuvre des politiques de lutte antitabac. Afin de mettre ces connaissances en pratique dans la prise de décision, ce projet d’accélérateur de connaissances augmentera l’accessibilité et la pertinence des recherches produites par l’Initiative ETC. Les subventions de synergie permettront de maximiser l’adoption et l’impact collectif de ces connaissances et de renforcer le leadership et la collaboration entre les équipes multidisciplinaires de l’Initiative ETC. Ces subventions soutiendront l’apprentissage par les pairs et permettront aux champions influents et informés d’utiliser des outils économiques efficaces pour freiner l’épidémie de tabagisme, en mettant en évidence les effets de ces politiques sur la sexospécificité et l’équité.
Catalyzing an ecosystem of AI for development-oriented entrepreneurs and innovators Catalyser un écosystème d’IA pour les entrepreneurs et les innovateurs orientés vers le développement Every day, Africa’s burgeoning community of data scientists, machine learning specialists, and researchers is exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) can contribute to tackling local challenges south of the Sahara. Failure to invest in responsible AI development, which strives to be inclusive, rights-based, and sustainable, may lead to a future where AI exacerbates inequality, fragility, and the effects of climate change in Africa.

This project, through a small-grants call and mentorship program, will catalyze an ecosystem of development-oriented entrepreneurs and innovators who are deploying AI in Africa. It is part of the four-year Artificial Intelligence for Development in Africa (AI4D Africa) program, a joint endeavour between the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and IDRC. 

The AI4D Africa program supports policy, innovations, and expanded leadership to spur responsible AI development in Africa. It focuses on three main pillars to advance responsible AI to improve Africans' lives and advance innovation: capacity strengthening and amplifying AI communities in Africa, supporting rights and inclusion through the development of responsible AI policy, and advancing AI innovation networks to address Africa's development challenges. Chaque jour, la communauté africaine des scientifiques, des spécialistes de l’apprentissage automatique et des chercheurs explore comment l’intelligence artificielle (IA) peut contribuer à relever les défis locaux au sud du Sahara. Si l’on n’investit pas dans un développement responsable de l’IA qui vise à être inclusif, basé sur les droits et durable, on risque de voir l’IA exacerber les inégalités, la fragilité économique et les effets des changements climatiques en Afrique.

Par le biais d’un appel à propositions pour de petites subventions et d’un programme de mentorat, ce projet catalysera un écosystème d’entrepreneurs et d’innovateurs orientés vers le développement et qui déploient l’IA en Afrique. Il fait partie du programme d’une durée de quatre ans intitulé Intelligence artificielle pour le développement en Afrique (IAPD Afrique), une initiative conjointe de l’Agence suédoise de coopération au développement international (ASDI) et du CRDI. Le programme IAPD Afrique soutient l’élaboration de politiques, des innovations ainsi qu’un leadership élargi pour stimuler un développement responsable de l’IA en Afrique. Il se concentre sur trois piliers principaux pour faire progresser l’IA responsable en vue d’améliorer la vie des Africains et de faire avancer l’innovation : le renforcement des capacités et l’amplification des communautés d’IA en Afrique, le soutien des droits et de l’inclusion par l’élaboration d’une politique responsable en matière d’IA, et l’avancement des réseaux d’innovation en IA pour répondre aux défis de développement de l’Afrique.
Shaping the macro-economy in response to COVID-19: a responsible economic stimulus, a stable financial sector, and a revival in exports Façonner la macro-économie en réponse au  COVID-19 : une relance économique, un secteur financier stable et une reprise des exportations This project aims to contribute to the knowledge on macroeconomic policies that are key for responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in low-income countries. The impacts of the pandemic on the economies of these countries is significant, contributing to growing poverty and hunger. There is an urgent need for credible data, analysis, and advice for the economic policies and the fiscal and monetary measures required to mitigate the impacts and promote an inclusive and sustainable recovery.  

The project will be led by the Overseas Development Institute in the UK, in collaboration with think tanks in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Tanzania, and Peru, and the network Southern Voice. This partnership will develop credible evidence that can support national and international policies in response to the pandemic, focusing on macroeconomic performance, growth scenarios, and macroeconomic policy options, with a focus on gender equality and climate change outcomes. Ce projet vise à contribuer aux connaissances sur les politiques macroéconomiques qui sont essentielles pour répondre à la pandémie de COVID-19 dans les pays à faible revenu. Les répercussions de la pandémie sur les économies de ces pays sont importantes et contribuent à l’augmentation de la pauvreté et de la faim. Il existe un besoin urgent de données, d’analyses et de conseils crédibles permettant de formuler les politiques économiques et les mesures fiscales et monétaires nécessaires pour atténuer les effets et promouvoir une reprise inclusive et durable. 

Le projet sera mené par l’Overseas Development Institute au Royaume-Uni, en collaboration avec des think tanks au Bangladesh, au Sri Lanka, au Kenya, en Tanzanie et au Pérou, et le réseau Southern Voice. Ce partenariat permettra de produire des données crédibles susceptibles de soutenir les politiques nationales et internationales en réponse à la pandémie, en se concentrant sur les performances macroéconomiques, les scénarios de croissance et les options de politique macroéconomique, en mettant l’accent sur l’égalité des sexes et les résultats en matière de changement climatique.
IMCHA knowledge translation, communication, and dissemination IMCHA application, communication et diffusion des connaissances As the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) initiative prepares to close on July 31, 2021, knowledge translation, communication, and dissemination activities are key to promote the uptake of research findings into national and regional policies and practices. They also increase visibility of the initiative, enriching discussions between donors about a future partnership. 

This project establishes a mechanism for IMCHA to authorize expenditures for knowledge translation, communication, and dissemination activities until the end of the initiative. It also enables investments in strategic activities as opportunities arise to lay the groundwork for future programming. 

IMCHA seeks to improve maternal, newborn, and child health by using primary healthcare as entry points to strengthen health systems, ensuring they are more equitable. It supports 19 research teams conducting 28 research projects, and two health policy and research organizations. This $36 million initiative is funded by Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and IDRC. L’initiative « Innovation pour la santé des mères et des enfants d’Afrique » (ISMEA) prenant fin le 31 juillet 2021, les activités d’application, de communication et de diffusion des connaissances sont essentielles pour promouvoir l’intégration des résultats de la recherche dans les politiques et pratiques nationales et régionales. Elles augmentent également la visibilité de l’initiative, enrichissant les discussions sur de futurs partenariats entre les bailleurs de fonds. 

Ce projet établit un mécanisme permettant à l’ISMEA d’autoriser les dépenses pour les activités d’application, de communication et de diffusion des connaissances jusqu’à la fin de l’initiative. Il permet également d’investir dans des activités stratégiques alors que des occasions jetant les bases de la programmation future font leur apparition. 

L’ISMEA souhaite améliorer la santé des mères, des nouveau-nés et des enfants en utilisant les soins de santé primaires comme point d’insertion pour renforcer les systèmes de santé et assurer une meilleure équité. Soutenant 19 équipes menant 28 projets de recherche et deux organismes de recherche et de politiques de santé, cette initiative de 36 millions de dollars est financée par Affaires mondiales Canada, les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada et le CRDI.
