Our partner organization AFEW (International) is organising a community-based research programme. The programme consists of several trainings and a small grants fund for community-based research projects. The programme is meant for communities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (EECA) and is aimed to result in the submission of abstracts for the International AIDS Conference 2018, which will be held in Amsterdam.
Here you can find the link to the application form for the three-day face-to-face training on how to conduct community-based research. If you have more questions about the application, please email AFEW at research@AFEW.nl.
The training will take place in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on 8, 9 and 10 November 2016. This training is the first step in a community-based research programme. AFEW is looking for motivated participants from EECA region with a keen interest, some experience, and familiarity with community-based research. AFEW foresee to invite two participants per organisation: one decision maker and one research implementer. The training is free of charge.
Following the training, the participants will be able to access online training modules to further shape their research skills. On a later level, training participants are expected to fill in an application form for the community-based research fund. This call will be released towards the end of 2016.
AFEW (International) is accepting applications to attend the training. The deadline for application is Friday 9 September 2016.
