Applied Research Fund (ARF)
The Food & Business Applied Research Fund (ARF) addresses the knowledge and research needs of partners in the bilateral food security programmes of the 15 Dutch development cooperation partner countries. The ARF focuses on food security as a local challenge. It operates on the basis of a continuous call for proposals where local partners from the private sector, civil society and government join with knowledge and research institutions. Since the start of the programme in 2014, there have been three Calls for ARF with various rounds each. Please find below an overview of the research projects funded so far.
