SUMMARY:SUMERNET Call for Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:Background \nSUMERNET is a regional research network focused on the six countries of the Mekong region. Its overall focus is to undertake research that influences and informs policy on sustainable development in the region thereby bridging the science to policy continuum. The new phase\, SUMERNET 4 All (S4A)\, will have a strategic focus on “reducing water insecurities for all in the Mekong Region”. The network takes a participatory approach in identifying and finding ways to meet the strategic focus of the new phase S4A and utilize the rich research and policy engagement experiences of our partners. Through this approach the network aspires to transform the lives of communities affected by water insecurity in the Mekong Region. To know more about SUMERNET 4 All\, details are available here: https://www.sei.org/projects-and-tools/projects/sumernet-4-all-engaging-with-water-insecurity-in-the-mekong-region/#sumernet-4-all \nOne of the S4A’s outcomes is to enhance the knowledge\, attitude\, and skills of knowledge producers so that they can deliver credible\, gender inclusive\, human rights-based\, conflict-sensitive\, and poverty-reduction focused research on key water insecurity challenges in the Mekong Region. The knowledge producers can improve their research practice and contribute to enhancing the discourse on water insecurities in the region.
