PAANI (Nepal):  USAID/Nepal's PAANI activity enhances Nepal's ability to manage water resources for its multiple uses and users through improved  conservation and management of freshwater biodiversity in 12 priority watersheds of the Karnali, Mahakali, and Rapti river basins in Western Nepal. PAANI will strengthen the resilience of targeted human and ecological communities through increased knowledge of aquatic resources, behavior change, establishment of networks among stakeholders, and improvement of the ability of local communities to manage climate vulnerabilities. PAANI will develop watershed and basin-level plans and use surveys to demonstrate the biodiversity benefits of reduced threats and associated economic gains. It will also set up a long-term funding mechanism for river basin management and innovation for aquatic biodiversity conservation, and produce analyses for hydropower design to minimize impact on aquatic biodiversity. PAANI will support Community Based Anti-Poaching Units for protecting river stretches and aquatic biodiversity and will report illegal activities to the appropriate authorities for action..USAID chose to partner with DAI Global to implement this activity due to its strong technical expertise in managing natural resources development activities. PAANI contributes to the Agency's Indo-Pacific Strategy focus area of Natural Resources Management for a Prosperous Indo-Pacific.

DFID Funded Rural Renewable Energy Project in Sierra Leone Poor access to electricity is recognized as a constraint to long-term economic growth in Sierra Leone. The country is currently experiencing a net deficit of power and is in desperate need of new power sources. The Ministry of Energy (MOE) has developed a National Energy Policy and action plan to increase energy access and generation capacity. Part of the strategy is to tap into Sierra Leone's renewable energy resources to provide more reliable, secure electricity to rural communities and to boost'the economy. Under this programme the Governrnent of Sierra Leone engaged the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) to support a feasibility study to explore the expansion of off-grid solutions in rural areas. UNOPS was engaged to develop the Rural Renewable Energy Project study and implement it in order to increase accessibility to public services and enhance economic growth in  rural communities and electrification of priority institutions, such as community health clinics, schools and agricultural business centres.
