ITEM 2 OF THE AGENDA
To RECEIVE, CONSIDER reviewed concept notes and RECOMMEND for approval by the JSC
4 1.1 Preamble
The Programme Document specifies that there should be three calls for research concept notes and research proposals. Therefore, the second call for concept notes was made through Majira of 21st October 2011, Guardian of 26th October 2011 and Daily News of 28th October 2011(see Appendix 1). The deadline for submission of both hard and electronic copy was 25th November 2011 at 15:30.
The call mainly focused on thematic area 1: Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management. The call was meant to cover areas that are not addressed in the ongoing research activities which included:
• Modelling of impacts of climate change and management scenarios in forestry, land-use, ecosystem and biodiversity,
• Assessment of innovative agricultural land use and farming systems for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change to support REDD initiatives,
• Development and testing of various range land management strategies for the purpose of reducing pressure on forest resources for adaptation and mitigation to climate change.
• In addition to proposals addressing thematic area 1, some proposals on “Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy” will be considered.
1.2 Evaluation/Review Process
A total of 48 concept notes were received (see Appendix 2) and screened to ensure that only the concept notes that met the requirements of the call were to be shortlisted. A total of 31 concept notes were short listed (see Appendix 3).
Nine reviewers were consulted and agreed to review the concept notes. The concept notes and subsequent reports were sent electronically. The names of the reviewers are:
(1) Dr Anne Mugaas, Norges Vel (2) Dr Stein Bie
(3) Dr Ladislaus Nshubemuki (4) Dr Jeremiah Haki (5) Dr Burhan Nyenzi
(6) Prof Kingiri Senelwa, Moi University (7) Prof Godwin Kowero, African Forest Forum (8) Mr. Trygve Refsdal,
(9) Dr Mahamane Larwanou, African Forest Forum
Each concept note was sent to at least two reviewers. The reviewers evaluated the concept notes based on the approved guidelines modified by adding a section 1.3 requesting the reviewers to indicate the weakness and strengths of each concept note and recommendation (see Appendix 4).
Reports from reviewers were summarized for each concept note as shown in Appendix 5. A total of 18 out of the 31 concept notes scored 60% and above thus considered eligible for development into full proposals (Table 1).

14 APPENDICES
Appendix 1: Second call for concept notes
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS, ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION PROGRAMME IN TANZANIA
SECOND CALL FOR CONCEPT NOTES ON
RESEARCH PROPOSALS FOR CCIAM COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROJECTS
1.0 BACKGROUND
The Royal Norwegian Government and the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania have signed an agreement to support the participation of Tanzania in the development and implementation of the programme to address challenges of climate change with the purpose of increasing Tanzania’s participation in the mitigation of/and adaptation of the effects of climate change.
Developing, optimizing and sustaining readiness and adequacy in capacity to address the challenges brought by climate change will require a number of interventions through raising awareness, training to build capacity at various levels, and conducting research and outreach activities.
The research component has the following specific objectives which are translated into thematic areas:
1) Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management.
2) Assessment of climate change impacts and vulnerability on ecosystem services and livelihoods under REDD initiatives.
3) Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy.
This call shall mainly focus on thematic are 1: Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management.
It is anticipated that this will cover areas that are not addressed in the ongoing research activities. The will include:
Modelling of impacts of climate change and management scenarios in forestry, land-use, ecosystem and biodiversity
Assessment of innovative agricultural land use and farming systems for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change to support REDD initiatives.
15
Development and testing of various range land management strategies for the purpose of reducing pressure on forest resources for adaptation and mitigation to climate change
In addition to proposals addressing thematic area 1, some proposals on “Policy and legal framework analysis of climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy” will be considered.
2.0 ELIGIBILITY
The call is open to researchers in collaborating institutions in Tanzania and in Norway. There are four collaborating institutions in Tanzania namely; Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA), Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and Ardhi University (ARU). There also collaborating institutions in Norway that are coordinated through the University of Life Sciences (UMB). Concept notes for collaborative research projects should be demand driven and aim at enhancing research activities related to mitigation and adaptation of climate change impacts with a strong emphasis on REDD.
It is expected that prospective research projects may be conducted in areas where the REDD pilot projects areas will be undertaken.
3.0 FORMAT FOR DEVELOPING CONCEPT NOTES
A concept note is a brief outline of a proposed research. The concept note should:
• Outline background, spell out research problem, objectives, methodology, location where the work is expected to be carried out and indicative budget;
• Identify the principal researcher and other researchers involved in the project, their qualifications, specific roles and their track records; and
• Not exceed 3 pages, excluding the attachments - with single spaced paragraphs and font size 12 Times New Roman in Microsoft Word.
If the concept note is accepted, one will be invited to prepare a full proposal. However, one may be asked to clarify certain issues before proceeding to the full proposal stage. In some cases, related concept notes may be advised to merge. The acceptance of the concept note will not guarantee that one’s proposal will ultimately be accepted for funding.

21 Appendix 4: Guidelines used to evaluate Concept notes
GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATING CONCEPT NOTES 1.0 Overview
A concept note is a brief outline of a proposed research. The concept note should:
• Outline background, spell out research problem, objectives, methodology, location where the work is expected to be carried out and indicative budget;
• Identify the principal researcher and other researchers involved in the project, their qualifications, specific roles and their track records; and
• Not exceed 3 pages, excluding the attachments - with single spaced paragraphs and font size 12 Times New Roman in Microsoft Word.
If the concept note is accepted, one will be invited to prepare a full proposal. However, one may be asked to clarify certain issues before proceeding to the full proposal stage. In some cases, related concept notes may be advised to merge. The acceptance of the concept note will not guarantee that one’s proposal will ultimately be accepted for funding.
1. 2. Organization and Format
The CCIAM Programme has three separate action research themes. Concept notes are invited from researchers from collaborating institutions intending to undertake action research on one of the thematic areas focusing on:
i) Development of appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in forestry, other land uses, ecosystems and biodiversity management
ii) Assessment of climate change impacts and vulnerability on ecosystem services and livelihoods under REDD initiatives
iii) Analysis of policies and legal frameworks on climate change adaptation and mitigation with emphasis on economic efficiency, ecological effectiveness and wider political legitimacy.
Concept notes addressing more than one of the above themes are encouraged. The organization of the concept note should be as outlined in Table 1.
