The Future of Work Research Initiative is a grants-awarding programme aimed at advancing research on the rapidly changing nature of work in the region. As part of the IDRC-funded FutureWORKS Collective, a five-year initiative focused on the Global South, the hub fosters high-quality research, evidence-based policymaking, and regional capacity-building. Led by ISSER in partnership with the Bureau d'Analyses Macro-Économiques of the Institut Sénégalais de Recherches Agricoles (ISRA-BAME), the West and Central Africa Hub will award sub-grants to institutions across both regions to support research prioritising social protection for marginalised groups and strategies to mitigate climate change.
