Caribbean Education Research Initiative (RISE Caribbean) (Barbados and Eastern Caribbean):  The RISE Caribbean Activity addresses systemic and classroom-related factors that affect student reading performance through capacity building  and research to support informed decision-making. Through collaboration with local organizations and regional institutions, the initiative conducts research activities that seek to improve primary school academic performance in Barbados and five Eastern Caribbean countries..RISE Caribbean i) conducts targeted research and analysis to inform policy and planning for Ministries of Education and relevant stakeholders; ii) engages in comparative and collaborative research with Higher Education Institutions; iii) builds the University of the West Indies Caribbean Education Research Center's resource library and maintaining a repository for education data for the region; and iv) enriches the education and general community through publications, public lectures, and other means of sharing research findings on designing and facilitating education research activities. This activity addresses systemic and classroom-related factors that affect students' learning outcomes, for instance, reading performance through targeted interventions and research to support informed decision-making as only 14% of students in Grades K-3 have been reading at or above grade level. These activities support improved learning outcome priorities as outlined in the 2017 Reinforcing Educational Accountability in Development (READ) Act and the U.S. Government Basic Education Strategy.....

An assessment of the unique situation in each country will be done prior to implementation of the activity. It will be implemented in two phases. Phase one will include Guyana, Suriname, Saint Lucia, and Grenada, while phase two will focus on Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, and St. Kitts and Nevis...Significantly constrained economic growth across the ESC has created the circumstances for unsustainable high public borrowing. There is a need for businesses and governments in the region to undertake reforms that will catalyze economic growth while simultaneously building resilience to disasters and improving risk mitigation in order to create sustainable, strong Caribbean economies...CBEE-R will improve services under five components: Electricity, Connectivity and Digital Economy, Digital Financial Services, Access to Finance, and Informality. Each of the sectors will be strengthened by introducing approaches to eliminate or reduce current bottlenecks or require upgraded systems. Under a sixth focus area, the activity will build the capacity of key stakeholders to support the development of a strong mechanism for public-private dialogue. By combining all approaches, CBEE-R will improve the regional environment for businesses to develop and thrive, promoting economic growth for each of the ESC countries involved and the overall Caribbean region. This activity will support USAID/ESC Mission's objective to promote a safe, prosperous, and resilient Caribbean region that promotes accountable institutions, economic development, and private sector-led growth, all in support of the Agency's Private Sector Engagement

The WASH SDG Consortium aims to sustainably deliver access to, and use of, safe drinking water for at least 450,000 people; and improve access to, and use of, sanitation and improve hygiene behaviours for at least 2 million people worldwide. The WASH SDG Consortium is formed by the partners WASH Alliance International (WAI ), SNV and Plan Netherlands. In alliance with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (DGIS / IGG), the Programme responds to the Dutch commitment to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 6, with the aim to reach an improved WASH situation for all. Particularly, to contribute to safe water and clean toilets for respectively 30 million and 50 million people, as communicated by Minister Ploumen during the Global Citizen 2015 Earth Day celebrations in Washington DC on 18 April 2015. The programme will be implemented between July 2017 to December 2022 in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nepal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, with two or more sub-national level programmes (sub-programmes) developed per country. These countries all have significant numbers of people with poor access to and use of WASH services, either in rural areas or in densely populated areas with uncontrolled urbanisation and deteriorating water security. In all these countries the consortium members have long-term presence and ongoing WASH programmes, as well as established influence at the national level.
Health Systems Advocacy Of all the Millennium Development Goals, MDG5 (Maternal Health) shows the biggest gap between achievement and goal. Despite all efforts, still, every day, 800 women worldwide die of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. 99% of these deaths occur in developing countries and almost all could have been prevented by access to proper healthcare and services.1 Stronger health systems, including adequate numbers of qualified health workers and access to essential Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) commodities, are urgently needed. The Health Systems Advocacy Partnership (HSA Partnership), comprising Amref Health Africa (Amref), the African Centre for Global Health and Social Transformation (ACHEST), Health Action International (HAI), Wemos, and the Dutch Ministry for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation (the Ministry), aims to close this gap in Sub-Saharan Africa. We will contribute to achieving Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) by creating space for a strong civil society to engage effectively with governments, the private sector and other stakeholders accountable for health systems, to deliver equitable, accessible and high-quality SRHR services.
