Global Health Supply Chain - Rapid Test Kits (GHSC-RTK) Chaîne d'approvisionnements globale de santé - kits rapides d'essai (GHSC-RTK) The Global Health Supply Chain - Rapid Test Kits TO (GHSC- RTKs) serves as the singular means of procuring HIV RTKs within the GHSC Program. The GHSC was designed to provide supply chain technical assistance as well as commodity procurement for the Bureau of Global Health, regardless of the commodity type. As the primary diagnostic tool for determining HIV/AIDS status and the gateway for care and treatment of HIV positive people, RTKs play a vital role in combatting the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. Without an adequate and timely supply of quality RTKs, HIV/AIDS programs cannot function. Thus Remote Medical International (RMI) will play a vital role in supporting the USGs goal of achieving an AIDS-free generation in our lifetime. The primary objective of this Contract is to ensure the availability of approved HIV Rapid Test Kits (RTKs) using a global procurement strategy. An RTK is defined as an assay for the diagnosis of infection with HIV-1/2 or type specific diagnosis of HIV-1 and HIV-2, from which test results can be read directly, within 30 minutes of the time the specimen is applied to the device, without calibration or calculations. The USAID Global Health Supply Chain - Rapid Test Kits (GHSC- RTKs) project will have the responsibility for the procurement and shipment of HIV rapid test kits (RTKs) to designated destinations and stakeholders for use in host country HIV and AIDS programs. Other procurement and supply chain-related services will be provided by other contracts within the GHSC Program. This TO is a small business set aside. La chaîne d'approvisionnements globale de santé - les kits rapides d'essai À (GHSC- RTKs) sert de moyens singuliers d'obtenir HIV RTKs dans le cadre du programme de GHSC. Le GHSC a été conçu pour fournir l'assistance technique de chaîne d'approvisionnements aussi bien que la fourniture des produits pour le bureau de la santé globale, indépendamment du type des produits. Comme outil de diagnostic primaire pour déterminer le statut de HIV/SIDA et le passage pour le soin et le traitement des personnes séropositives, RTKs jouent un rôle essentiel en combattant l'épidémie globale de HIV/SIDA. Sans approvisionnement suffisant et opportun en qualité RTKs, les programmes de HIV/SIDA ne peuvent pas fonctionner. International médical à distance (RMI) jouera ainsi un rôle essentiel en soutenant le but d'USGs de réaliser une génération sans SIDAs dans notre vie. Le premier objectif de ce contrat est d'assurer la disponibilité des kits rapides approuvés d'essai d'HIV (RTKs) utilisant une stratégie globale de fourniture. Un RTK est défini comme analyse pour le diagnostic de l'infection avec HIV-1/2 ou le type diagnostic spécifique de HIV-1 et de HIV-2, desquels des résultats d'essai peuvent être lus directement, d'ici 30 minutes du temps le spécimen est appliqué au dispositif, sans calibrage ou calculs. La chaîne d'approvisionnements globale de santé d'USAID - le projet rapide des kits d'essai (GHSC- RTKs) aura la responsabilité de la fourniture et de l'expédition des kits rapides d'essai d'HIV (RTKs) aux destinations indiquées et des dépositaires pour l'usage dans des programmes d'HIV et de SECOURS de pays d'accueil. D'autres services liés à la chaîne de fourniture et d'approvisionnement seront fournis par d'autres contrats dans le cadre du programme de GHSC. Cette À est une petite entreprise a mis de côté.

Catalyze Blended Capital Investment Platform Catalysez la plate-forme mélangée d'investissement de capitaux Catalice la plataforma mezclada de la inversión de capitales This BAA is intended to address the challenge of how to most effectively increase private investment, in a developing country where private funds currently only flow to traditional asset classes (e.g. debt and equity in sovereign and investment grade borrowers) in order to address the gap between the amount of investment needed in the countries where USAID works, and the public sectors ability to finance these projects. Increasing private investment will require addressing problems with supply (those with funds to invest), demand (those seeking to receive finance), and intermediation (those who match supply with demand), as well as improving the overall enabling environment. Ce BÊLEMENT est prévu pour relever le défi de la façon augmenter le plus effectivement l'investissement privé, dans un pays en développement où les fonds privés coulent actuellement seulement dans les classes traditionnelles de capitaux (par exemple dette et capitaux propres dans des emprunteurs souverain et d'échelon d'investissement) afin d'adresser l'espace entre la quantité d'investissement requise dans les pays où des travaux d'USAID, et la capacité de secteurs publics de financer ces projets. L'investissement privé croissant exigera les problèmes d'adressage avec l'offre (ceux avec des fonds à investir), la demande (ceux cherchant à recevoir des finances), et l'entremise (ceux qui assortissent l'approvisionnement avec la demande), aussi bien qu'améliorent l'environnement permettant global. Este BAA se piensa para dirigir el desafío de cómo aumentar lo más con eficacia posible la inversión privada, en un país en vías de desarrollo adonde los fondos privados fluyen actualmente solamente a las clases tradicionales del activo (e.g deuda y equidad en prestatarios del grado soberano y de inversión) para dirigir el hueco entre la cantidad de inversión necesaria en los países adonde los trabajos de USAID, y a la capacidad de los sectores públicos de financiar estos proyectos. La inversión privada cada vez mayor requerirá los problemas de dirección con la fuente (ésas con los fondos a invertir), la demanda (ésas que intentan recibir finanzas), y la mediación (ésas que hacen juego la fuente con demanda), así como mejoran el ambiente de permisión total.
TRANSFORM: Transformational Strategies for Farm Output Risk Mitigation (USAID Global Health (GH)): With FY21 funding ETD's Transformational Strategies for Farm Output Risk Mitigation (TRANSFORM) project seeks to leverage the unique expertise, positioning, and commitments of the private sector as change agents to develop innovative, market-driven, and sustainable solutions that substantially advance progress in achieving global health security, through prevention of emerging zoonoses (diseases transmitted from animals to humans) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Solutions are expected to focus on the nexus between public and private sector collaboration, and will add value to existing-or develop new-approaches that are beyond the capacity of the public sector to achieve independently. TRANSFORM co-creation process will maximize engagement with the private sector, existing stakeholders (including academia and research institutions) and other international/multilateral resource partners to inform the design of an award. This project will build upon the robust foundation of work that USAID has done over 15 years to prevent, detect and respond to infectious disease threats, and contribute new approaches to pre-empt the emergence, and mitigate the impact from, emerging infectious disease and AMR threats.

Low Carbon Development Initiative for Indonesia The Low Carbon Development in Indonesia is a program to implement new climate economy and new food and land use economy in Indonesia. It will undertake systematic economy-wide assessment and provide independent and authoritative evidence on the relationship between actions that strengthen economic performance and those that reduce the risk of climate change. In addition to examining economic sectors such as in forestry, agriculture, and peat, attention will be given to the overall performance of food and land-uses systems. The program intends to identify opportunities where policy reforms, investment and business solutions could yield large multiple benefits for the economy, society and the environment. It aims to contribute to building a low carbon development in Indonesia through new climate economy at a national level and sustainable food and land use economy in selected sub-national jurisdictions of East Kalimantan, South Sumatra, and Papua/West Papua. At a national level, it will develop an investment model to inform Indonesia’s Mid-term National Development Planning (RPJMN) strategic environmental assessment and to achieve Indonesia’s global commitment to emissions reduction. The investment model will be supported by background studies for several sectors, including forestry and agriculture, that document stakeholder’s knowledge in these sectors to inform the country’s development and investment options. Moreover, it will establish science-based targets and pathways at scale to include national and sub-national levels and agreed upon by multi-stakeholders in the public and private sectors; provide business solutions that raise ambition of the private sector; and present these in action roadmaps with innovations that can mobilize financing and investments. It will also identify key policies, investments and actions needed to establish a new food and land use economy, which enhances agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods, addresses food waste, improves diets while at the same time protecting forests and biodiversity and increasing Indonesia's resilience and adaptation to climate change. Combined these will aim at providing proof points for key sectors (such as in forestry and agriculture) in specified jurisdictions (such as in East Kalimantan) where opportunities and policy reforms are likely to yield the largest economic, social and environmental impacts and co-benefits.
New Climate Economy Coalition for Urban Transitions The Coalition for Urban Transitions seeks to build the global and national political commitment necessary to shift rapidly urbanizing countries towards a more compact, connected, coordinated model of urban development to support the SDGs and Paris Agenda. Launched in May 2016, the Coalition is a special initiative of the New Climate Economy (NCE) and is hosted by the World Resources Institute (WRI) Ross Center for Sustainable Cities and jointly managed by the C40 Climate Leadership Group. The Coalition is a partnership of 20+ leading urban focused institutions and leaders. Our mission is to support national governments - working together with city leaders - to unlock the power of cities to support enhanced national economic, social, and environmental prosperity, including reducing climate risks. It recognizes that successful cities are at the core of prosperous countries. The Coalition has two components – a Country Program and a Global Solutions Program – which will be complemented by flagship global synthesis reports, and active outreach and dissemination to decision - makers directly and at convening moments.
NDC Partnership Support Unit and CAEP The NDC Partnership (the Partnership) is a global coalition of countries and institutions collaborating to drive transformational climate action while enhancing sustainable development. The Partnership is working directly with developing country governments, mobilizing resources and expertise to support and accelerate their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) implementation and increased ambition in updated NDC around the worlds. The Partnership is recognized as a neutral broker among stakeholders and a trusted partner, evidencing a strong governance structure, clear theory of change, and transparent strategy. Guided by a Steering Committee, the Partnership is comprised of developed and developing nations and international institutions and led by Co-Chairs from the Republic of Costa Rica and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. A Support Unit, which facilitates the work of the Partnership, has grown and consolidated to support its ambitious vision. As more governments seek support for turning NDCs into action, membership continues to grow considerably. The NDC Partnership’s Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) is a new offering of the Partnership designed to be a targeted, demand-driven, and impact-focused fast-track initiative to deliver support for implementing and enhancing NDCs to set countries up for success in achieving raised ambition. It will allow countries to address the challenges of the first generation of NDCs by providing support for the development and implementation of evidence-based, high-quality NDCs with broad ownership from society and government. CAEP has two core elements: Leveraging new and existing support for NDC implementation and updating from member countries and institutions; Establishing a Technical Assistance Fund (TAF) for fast deployment of additional resources beyond those available through existing initiatives; and Partnership members able to quickly deploy technical and financial support will have the first option to respond to country requests under CAEP. Remaining gaps in support can then be covered by members of the Partnership with the required expertise but without available resources, by accessing the TAF. The TAF is a financial delivery instrument of CAEP. It is a pooled funding mechanism that will receive contributions from multiple development partners and allocate resources to multiple implementing partners in response to NDC enhancement requests under CAEP.

Strengthening Forest Legality through Transparency and Accountability The Strengthening Forest Legality through Transparency and Accountability Project builds on previous rounds of FGMC support. The first round supported WRI to launch Global Forest Watch (GFW), an online platform monitoring forests everywhere in near-real time. In the second round, WRI worked to demonstrate how transparency combined with customized information technology solutions could strengthen timber legality enforcement and private sector compliance, and drive greater accountability for tropical forest management. In the third FGMC round, WRI will deepen gains in forest and timber trade transparency while securing emerging processes and practices to hold governments and the private sector accountable for forest management and land use decisions. GFW remains central, and the Project will maintain and expand the global functions and reach of GFW. We will also expand ongoing engagement with actors and political processes globally and in key VPA and processing countries (Cameroon, Republic of Congo, China) to scale use of targeted information technology solutions. These include: Forest Watcher – a mobile app that brings near-real time deforestation alerts offline and into the field to assist law enforcement and civil society to identify and interdict forest crime. Forest Atlases – nationalized versions of the GFW platform owned and operated by forest ministries to enhance forest land use transparency and related policy enforcement. Open Timber Portal (OTP) – a web-based platform promoting trade in legal forest products by compiling information about forest sector compliance from government, companies and third-party forest monitors in producer countries. Uptake of these tools will support governments and private sector to implement their commitments to eliminate deforestation and illegal logging, and enable civil society to hold these actors accountable for their commitments.
Small Pond of OHIS Industrial Site Clean-up The Project “Small Pond of OHIS Industrial Site Clean-up” is designed to support remediation of the most critical environmental hotspot in North Macedonia - the industrial pollution at the site of the former Organic Chemical Industry of Skopje. The European Union (EU) will provide 2.5 million Euros through the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) III to fund the Project, which will be implemented by UNOPS over a period of 24 months.\n\nThe overall objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the environmental standards in North Macedonia through enhanced application of environmental policies in remediation of industrial hot-spots, and by decreasing the pollution-related risks to the environment and human health.

Safe Motherhood Overall submission description (humanitarian context & prioritization) The DPRK continues to suffer from chronic food insecurity and underdevelopment, and the consequences of frequent natural disasters. Although the overall humanitarian situation has improved slightly over the last 12 months, the structural causes of people’s vulnerability persist. External assistance is needed and continues to play a vital role to address the needs of millions whose food security, nutritional status, access to clean and safe water and general health would otherwise be seriously compromised. Out of the total population of 24.6 million, around 16 million people remain chronically food insecure and highly vulnerable to production gaps. Furthermore, the country is facing a multiplicity of health challenges, particularly in the areas of maternal, child and reproductive health, compounded by a deteriorating health care infrastructure and a lack of medicines. The high malnutrition rates mentioned above only makes this issue worse, having a number of negative consequences on overall health and resistance to infections. International assistance has declined due to the worsening political situation since late 2012. Political developments in 2013 have meant both an increase in the enforcement of existing sanctions and the imposition of new ones. The severe under-funded situation has forced UN agencies to reprioritize and suspend some programme activities affecting the most vulnerable people, whose health, nutritional, WASH and food security status depend largely on international humanitarian assistance. The ERC agreed to an underfunded emergency allocation to DPR Korea because resource mobilization for vital humanitarian programming continues to be hindered by the political situation. Some US$6 million was allocated to UN agencies in the 2013 second underfunded emergencies round ($15 million total in 2013).

Application Summary The Dry Corridor of Honduras is experiencing the worst drought in a decade. According to the government, some 186,311 families are directly affected. In an area already vulerable due to poverty and limited health and education services, the effects of the drought have been severe and fragile families are resorting to negative coping strategies. An Emergency Food Security Assessment carried out in September 2014 reported decreasing food consumption, deteriorating water availability and increasing malnutrition rates as compared to previous years. The most likely scenario in the Dry Corridor is a progressive increase in the severity and number of food insecure people as the prolonged drought threatens the upcoming "Postrera" agricultural season. This scenario would extend food insecurity until the next Primera harvest in August 2015. To mitigate the further impact of the drought, the government and humanitarian partners have elaborated a Plan of Action and Preliminary Response Plan. On 21 October 2014, the RC for Honduras submitted a CERF rapid response request for $2.6 million in support of priority activities in the plans. The CERF funds will benefit some 25,000 food insecure people in 13 municipalities of the Dry Corridor with food security programmes, health and nutrition activities, and WASH services.
