Following the two previous calls for proposals, which closed last September, GEOACT Is launching a new Call for Proposals focused on “Strengthening education on natural risks at primary, secondary and higher levels”.

GEOACT aims to improve collaboration in the Caribbean region between civil society organisations (CSOs), citizens, entrepreneurs, innovators, universities, research centers, regional organisations and public authorities (in so-called ‘‘living labs’) in order to develop inclusive, smart and sustainable innovative solutions (based on end-users needs) that will enable Caribbean countries to adapt to the effects of natural hazards and climate change.

GEOACT  is implemented by a consortium of 6 partners: IRD (Research Institute for Development) (Project coordinator); Association of Caribbean States (ACS), Trinidad &Tobago; Caribbean Science Foundation (CSF), Barbados; Fondation FOKAL, Haiti; Sir Arthur Lewis Community College (SALCC), St. Lucia; Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF), Haiti.

GEOACT is one of the 12 projects that have received funding from the European Union under the  ACP Innovation Fund which is part of the OACPS R&I Programme.
