Deadline- 10 January 2014
All eligible applicants are invited to submit applications for Science and Power in Participatory Forestry (SCIFOR) Scholarships Program offered under University of Copenhagen. The objective of this program is to support equitable, environmentally sound, and economically rational forest management. The project involves investigations of management planning practices and outcomes in forests managed under Participatory Forest Management in Tanzania.
The 2 scholarships come with different requirements-
- The PhD scholarship entitled ‘Forest management planning, participation, and power in participatory forest management’ involves a case study aimed at understanding the role of management planning, i.e. preparation of the legally required operational plan in (i) shaping participation and inclusion in decision-making and benefit-sharing and (ii) informing actual forest management practices at the community level.
- The PhD scholarship entitled ‘Forest management planning and conservation in participatory forest management’ focuses on understanding the role of forest management planning in shaping conservation outcomes of community forestry, and thus involves forest inventories and remote-sensing analyses to document past and present forest condition, as well as participatory mapping and interviews to understand the knowledge used in forest management at community level.
Eligibility & Criteria-
Interested and qualified citizens of Tanzania (holding MSc degree or equivalent) to submit applications for 2 PhD scholarships related to the Danida financed project ‘Science and Power in Participatory Forestry’ (SCIFOR).
