Comments: Evidence of local support for the project or interest in collaboration must be provided. Such letters must be submitted as part of the application for each proposed country. Some previous research topics have included the following: "Improving the Performance of Community Based Natural Resource Management Programs in Botswana: An Economic Perspective," "Revitalizing Wild Silk Production to Meet Conservation and Poverty Alleviation Goals in Madagascar" and "Performance of the Great Baga D'mba in Guinea." Because grantees are responsible for obtaining their own research clearances and visas, scholars should request information on procedures from colleagues in Africa at an early date and keep CIES informed.
