The Poverty and Economic Policy (PEP) Research Network of the African Economic Researchers Consortium (AERC), brings together and provides support to developing country researchers working to reduce poverty. This call for research proposals concerns the Poverty Monitoring, Measurement and Analysis (PMMA) and Modeling and Policy Impact Analysis (MPIA) networks and targets researchers residing in developing countries. Both networks offer financial ($CAN 20,000 research grants), technical and scientific support to member researchers.
