Abstract

A proposal development grant awarded to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) was used to prepare a consortium research proposal on climate resilient economic development in African and Asian semi-arid lands (SAL). A range of activities were supported by the grant, including literature review and analysis, diagnostic missions in six countries, and a four-day workshop held in London involving consortium partners to develop the proposal. This paper reports on activities by the consortium in preparation for their research programme. The London workshop was a crucial point in the development of the consortium’s theoretical and methodological framework.
