About the organization:

The Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d programme) is a joint funding initiative by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The r4d programme supports research aimed at solving global problems with a focus on least developed, low and middle income countries.

Call for Purpose:

The Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d programme, www.r4d.ch) is a joint funding instrument of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The r4d programme is organised around five thematic modules (employment, ecosystems, food security, social conflicts and public health) and one thematically open module. The 57 projects funded in the r4d programme focus on reducing poverty and global risks as well as on contributing to global sustainable development.

The second phase of the Digital Storytellers has the objective to produce short films that convey clear key messages in view of research contributions to the 2030 Agenda and address specific target audiences, i.e. following clearly identified dissemination opportunities (see link to Call document with all relevant information).
