FFP General Support of NORCAP Roster-CashCap Project (USAID Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA)):  IDA award (AID-OFDA-A-16-00052) entitled "General Support of NORCAP Roster" for Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is managed by USAID/ Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA). Since Autumn 2016, OFDA has given general support to the NORCAP roster for its work on humanitarian coordination and has more recently included a modification for additional funding to specifically support the CashCap project. CashCap is NORCAPs most recent specialty roster. As the humanitarian sector is increasingly adopting cash transfer programming (CTP) to respond to emergency needs, the demand for cash-related expertise is growing significantly, and there is a lack of adequate expertise to meet this demand. While this deficiency can be felt at various levels, the areas most critical to advancing the cash agenda are the ones addressing the gaps within the humanitarian architecture as well as at the national level, i.e. with national governments. The CashCap Steering Committee has determined that CashCap should support multi-agency requests, deploying experts to support a response, not a particular agency.

Launched in March 2018, the Accelerating Local Potential Addenda to the STIP APS sought to build human and institutional capacity in developing country universities through partnerships with U.S. based universities.  After co-creation, four awards were selected that each sought to build capacity and self-reliance by strengthening developing country university institutions. One of the four awards is with the University of Colorado.  Globally there is a demand for statisticians and data scientists who can accelerate STIP by collecting, visualizing, and analyzing data and transform the results into data-driven policy recommendations.

Direct-to-Consumer Approaches to Fertility Awareness and Reproductive Health Information for Adolescents (DTC) - Howard Delafield International (USAID Global Health (GH)):  &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;!--br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Responding to needs identified in formative research, USAID launched a co-creation design seeking novel and scalable solutions that leverage direct-to-consumer channels to reach adolescents and their support networks with high-quality, accessible information in an unbiased manner. Howard Delafield International and local partners are developing a pilot program in India targeting urban and peri-urban girls ages 15-19 that combines the excitement of a choice-based, story-driven mobile game, with in-game reproductive health information and linkages to relevant products and care, and an integrated game microsite where girls can dig deeper into topics introduced within the game. The game will challenge players to make realistic age-appropriate family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) decisions and choices for their characters within a safe and private virtual space, enabling them to experience the simulated outcomes of their choices. An outcome evaluation will contribute to global learning on the effectiveness of direct-to-consumer digital interventions aimed at adolescents for FP/RH. A complimentary game aimed at boys will complete the intervention.
