Mid-Term Evaluation of the Global Partnerships Institutional Support Contract (ISC) IBTCI was contracted by USAID to conduct a mid-term evaluation of an Institutional Support Contract (ISC) to USAIDs IDEA/PSP Global Partnerships Division. The evaluation was guided by five main questions covering the areas of program effectiveness, efficiency, stakeholder perceptions, relevance, and the ISCs support in the divisions strategic objectives. Data for the evaluation was collected through a variety of methods, including document review, key informant interviews with GP and implementer staff, focus group discussions with GP and implementer staff, and the examination of available financial data. The evaluation also conducted value-for-money (VfM) and cost-effective analyses of the ISC, focusing on staffing costs in the current structure and the effectiveness of staff services in training, communications, and events. The analyses included an examination of cost-effectiveness under alternative contracting mechanisms. Findings and conclusions from information obtained through the evaluation informed actionable recommendations for possible next steps to improve the current ISC structure.

PREDICT The goal of PREDICT is to establish a global early warning system for zoonotic (i.e., of animal origin) disease emergence that is capable of detecting, tracking and predicting the emergence of new infectious diseases in high-risk wildlife (e.g., bats, rodents, and non-human primates) that could have pandemic potential. Particular focus will be placed on establishing an enhanced wildlife monitoring capacity in those geographic hotspots that pose a particular risk for the emergence of new infectious disease threats. Surveillance will focus on specific priority pathogens including, but not limited to, retroviruses, influenza, corona viruses and filoviruses.

MPii: Project CHARISMA - Community Health Clinic Model for Agency in Relationships and Safer Microbicide Adherence Part of the microbicide product introduction initiative (MPii), project  CHARISMA aims to increase womens agency to consistently and safely use microbicides and mitigate intimate partner violence (IPV). Research to date suggests that male partner approval or active support is often desired, required or culturally indicated for womens microbicides use, although products are female initiated and designed to empower women to protect themselves from HIV autonomously. Participants in previous microbicides studies have described a wide spectrum of ways in which product use and partner relationships interact with one another. CHARISMA is awarded to Research Triangle Institute in collaboration with its partners, the University of Washington, FHI 360, Wits-RHI and Sonke Gender Justice. CHARISMA is a five-year cooperative agreement with a ceiling of $4.9 million. The period of performance is July 20, 2015 through July 17, 2020.

Sustainable Water Partnership (SWP) The Sustainable Water Partnership (SWP) looks at water through the lens of water security: the adaptive capacity to safeguard the sustainable availability of, access to, and safe use of an adequate, reliable and resilient quantity and quality of water for health, livelihoods, ecosystems and productive economies.  Funded by USAID and implemented by Winrock International, SWP provides sophisticated solutions to the water problems facing international communities. Closely collaborating with USAID missions and government counterparts, we customize activities to meet each communitys unique water needs. Our participatory, holistic approach to water resource management aims to strengthen water security, improve public health and livelihoods, alleviate poverty, encourage economic growth and promote political stability. We achieve these goals by following a few essential practices: We focus our activities on priority water risks, refusing to be overwhelmed by the enormity of water problems. We engage and empower water users to manage their own water resources. We attack the root causes of water problems, not just their symptoms, through a science-based, "systems thinking" approach. We bolster our decision-making by accounting for inevitable uncertainties, whether they be scientific, economic or behavioral. We develop negotiated integrated solutions that offer real benefits  developing infrastructure, managing watersheds, changing behaviors and improving institutions. We enable all concerned parties - from government officials to engineers to citizens - to adaptively manage water resources and to engage in social learning, thus improving the communitys resilience and ensuring its sustainability.
