项目摘要

GS-DEV propose four interdisciplinary projects in the areas of health, nutrition, education and environment with great potential for innovation and impact. Evidence and lessons from these projects will be collected and analysed to develop general guidelines for improving the impact of future ODA-based research projects.1) Development of child micronutrient supplements with regional partners (Brazil, Jordan, Malaysia & Thailand) and regulatory bodies/manufacturers using locally sourced materials and building their R&D capabilities to enable future development of similar products independently. Creative writing and film-making will allow i) communication/engagement with users (children, youth and parents), the general public and the local government on the importance of balanced nutritional diet for child growth & development, and ii) debate the complex causes of malnutrition.2) Address food and nutrition insecurity in India, a problem confronting a vast majority of women and children, especially in rural, indigenous communities. This will be achieved by working with communities, especially women's groups, youth groups and students to generate and share knowledge on sustainable food systems, in particular production choices and technologies, diets and consumption practices, and their relationship to health and nutrition outcomes. Content, generated using a range of creative tools and strategies, will inform and be shared at scale through an interactive, audio community media platform; supplemented by a mobile app for smartphone users, to provide 24-h real-time response to community needs. Sustainability will be ensured through capacity-building of educational institutions, government functionaries and the wider public at multiple scales - local, regional, national and international.3) Development of a more sustainable, relevant and 'bottom-up' approach to family literacy, embedded in people's everyday activities and indigenous learning practices that can influence family well-being and livelihoods. In collaboration with UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning and UEA UNESCO Chair partner universities in Ethiopia, Nepal, Malawi & the Philippines, comparative ethnographic studies will be conducted on indigenous approaches to intergenerational learning and knowledge creation, alongside documentary analysis of existing family literacy programmes in these countries. The project includes research-policy interaction and dissemination activities to engage international, national and local stakeholders. Its major contribution will be to bring policy makers' and educators' attention to the disjunction between current mainstream approaches to adult/family literacy instruction and the ways in which adults and children learn in everyday life in order to enhance the contribution of education to sustainable development.4) Build a network of academics, industry partners and policy-makers in Malaysia to identify and quantify the distribution of microplastics and assess its potential environmental risks. Globally, around half of total plastic production is used for single-use packaging; around 10-14 million tonnes of this ends up in the oceans every year. Plastic gradually breaks down to produce ever-smaller microplastics, which are eaten by and cause stress to a wide variety of organisms that are vital parts of food webs. Counting microplastics in water and sediments is challenging. Through ongoing collaborative work, a cheap and quick methodology has been developed to map microplastic levels and distribution across a range of habitats and ecosystems. Alongside supplying simple equipment, the network will develop a multilingual video manual to aid its use and ensure consistency of practice for data comparisons. A "public information" film will disseminate microplastics-associated problems and research findings to the general public and policy influencers through a range of media options.

GS-DEV 在健康、营养、教育和环境领域提出了四个具有巨大创新潜力和影响力的跨学科项目。将收集和分析这些项目的证据和经验教训，以制定提高未来基于官方发展援助的研究项目的影响的一般准则。1) 与区域合作伙伴（巴西、约旦、马来西亚和泰国）和监管机构/制造商一起开发儿童微量营养素补充剂，使用当地采购的材料并建立其研发能力，以实现未来独立开发类似产品。创意写作和电影制作将有助于 i) 与用户（儿童、青少年和家长）、公众和地方政府就均衡营养饮食对儿童成长和发展的重要性进行沟通/参与，以及 ii) 就营养不良的复杂原因进行辩论。2) 解决印度的粮食和营养不安全问题，这是绝大多数妇女和儿童面临的问题，特别是在农村和土著社区。这将通过与社区，特别是妇女团体、青年团体和学生合作，生成和分享有关可持续粮食系统的知识，特别是生产选择和技术、饮食和消费习惯及其与健康和营养结果的关系来实现。使用一系列创意工具和策略生成的内容将通过交互式音频社区媒体平台大规模传播和共享；辅以针对智能手机用户的移动应用程序，提供 24 小时实时响应社区需求。将通过地方、区域、国家和国际等多个层面的教育机构、政府官员和广大公众的能力建设来确保可持续性。3) 制定更加可持续、相关和“自下而上”的家庭扫盲方法，将其融入人们的日常活动和能够影响家庭福祉和生计的本土学习实践中。将与教科文组织终身学习研究所和埃塞俄比亚、尼泊尔、马拉维和菲律宾的东英吉利大学教科文组织教席伙伴大学合作，对代际学习和知识创造的本土方法进行比较人种学研究，并对这些国家现有的家庭扫盲计划进行文献分析。该项目包括研究政策互动和传播活动，以吸引国际、国家和地方利益相关者的参与。其主要贡献将是让政策制定者和教育工作者注意到当前成人/家庭扫盲指导的主流方法与成人和儿童在日常生活中学习的方式之间的脱节，以增强教育对可持续发展的贡献。4) 在马来西亚建立一个由学者、行业合作伙伴和政策制定者组成的网络，以识别和量化微塑料的分布并评估其潜在的环境风险。在全球范围内，大约一半的塑料产量用于一次性包装；每年约有 10-1400 万吨最终流入海洋。塑料逐渐分解产生越来越小的微塑料，这些微塑料被作为食物网重要组成部分的各种生物体吃掉并对它们造成压力。计算水和沉积物中的微塑料具有挑战性。通过持续的协作工作，已经开发出一种廉价且快速的方法来绘制微塑料水平以及在一系列栖息地和生态系统中的分布。除了提供简单的设备外，该网络还将开发多语言视频手册以帮助其使用并确保数据比较实践的一致性。 “公共信息”电影将通过一系列媒体选择向公众和政策影响者传播与微塑料相关的问题和研究成果。
