Overview
The Global Development Conference on Biodiversity and Sustainable Development will focus on substantive and inclusive discussions at the highest level of expertise, grounded in empirical evidence and focused on these interrelated topics of mainstreaming biodiversity: financing nature and biodiversity, diverse knowledge systems, nature-based alternative solutions to development challenges, the interplay between agriculture and food production with biodiversity and ecosystem preservation, links to poverty and inequality, as well as the implementation of the landmark agreement at the last COP15 – the United Nation’s Convention on Biological Diversity. This grant provides promising researchers and activists from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America the opportunity to disseminate their work, interact with academics and policymakers, and network globally. The conference brings forth new knowledge and southern perspectives on the intersection of biodiversity, sustainable development, and women’s economic empowerment.

for African scholars to attend the Global Development Conference
The Global Development Conference on Tax Policy for Sustainable Development is a prestigious event held in different regions and on different themes each year. It hosts high-level, inclusive, evidence-based debates on current development challenges and priorities. It provides promising developing country researchers with an opportunity to disseminate their work, interact with world-renowned academics and policymakers, and network globally. This grant supports the travel and participation of African-based scholars in the 2022 conference. The conference brings forth new knowledge and Southern perspectives on sustainable development issues mostly debated in developed countries and reinforces cooperation and development effectiveness.
for support to the Campbell Collaboration co-chairs
The Global Development Network will oversee the work being done by the Campbell Collaboration. The Campbell Collaboration supports the production and use of systematic reviews of evidence in social and economic policy. This grant will support the Campbell co-chairs to build Campbell's international profile and increase the use of evidence in policy. This work will involve consulting with stakeholders to inform the production of strategy discussion notes and fundraising materials. The co-chairs will also explore possible arrangements for an expanded secretariat.
