University of Dar es Salaam, State University of Zanzibar and University of Copenhagen, Denmark, herewith announce two Post Doc positions offered under the research project Himili Pamoja, Gendered Encounters in Climate Change Adaptation”, funded by Danida Fellowship Centre (DFC), Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (DANIDA). From a Gender transformative perspective, the Himili Pamoja project (Adapt Together) investigates how climate change adaptation is practiced by households and how extension services and district authorities engage with communities to promote adaptations and resilience. The overall objectives of the Himili Pamoja project are:
- To investigate women’s and men’s options for adapting to climate change in rural communities
- To understand how women’s and men’s livelihoods, health situation and security may change while adapting to climate change
- To understand how the district government and technical officers interact with women and men in local settings to support climate change adaptation
- To create opportunities and materials needed for developing analytical and implementation-related skills to promote equitable climate change adaptation for women and men.
The project is implemented in collaboration between the University of Dar es Salaam (Centre for Climate Change Studies), the State University of Zanzibar (Department of Geography), and the University of Copenhagen (Department of Global Health, Public Health).
