Proposal Call - Rapid Appraisal of Good Practice within the CINDI Network

Interested researchers/journalists are invited to submit proposals for the above research project. It is envisaged that CINDI Members (over 50 organisations) will be given the opportunity to contribute details of creative and replicable projects to a Good Practice Document that will be included on the CINDI Website - to encourage the sharing of innovative and practical projects by national and international organisations working with children affected by HIV/AIDS.

CINDI would like the project completed by the end of June 2004 and has an initial budget of R30 000 to cover the costs of conducting interviews with participating CINDI Members and the preparation of the final printed document. (Funding is currently being sought for the web design and the production of a printed booklet).

Interested researchers are invited to submit a Plan of Action, a detailed budget, and an example of previous work by 26 March 2004 to [email protected]. Proposals will be adjudicated on the basis of the researcher's knowledge of the impact of HIV/AIDS on children, and a basic understanding of the work of CINDI and its Members over the past 8 years.
