Interagency Agreement with State for Research Grants under the Middle East Regional Program (MERC) Interagency Agreement (IAA) with the U.S. Department of State for Funding of Selected Research Grants under the Middle East Regional Program(MERC). Grants encourage Arab and Israeli scientists to collaborate in solving problems constraining development in the Middle East region. By combining expertise in agriculture, biomedical research, engineering, social sciences, and natural resources management, Arab and Israeli scientists have been able to address common problems more effectively in a regional approach, while at the same time promoting peaceful coexistence in the Middle East. The MERC Program was created in the aftermath of the original Camp David Peace Accords and is administered by the USAID. This program funds applied research aimed at solving regional development problems, and seeks projects that are likely to contribute to development in an estimated time frame of ten years or less.

Activity under preparation EU-Brunei Darussalam Partnership Facility ¿ Phase 2 By fully respecting and integrating the principles set out in the Joint Communication on the EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific[1], this Action seeks to enable the EU to further reinforce its partnership with Brunei Darussalam through selective and ad hoc modalities of engagement based on mutual interest, reciprocity, and complementarities. In this context, the Action aims to address the short and medium-term foreign policy opportunities in and with Brunei Darussalam by deepening bilateral relations and dialogues, enhancing mutual awareness, understanding, and appreciation across a range of policies, and by forging tailored alliances and partnerships through public-, economic-, and cultural diplomacy tools, primarily in the fields of higher education and research, and the environment, as well as security and defence. This includes a specific focus on research and innovation, which are crucial for the green and digital transitions and for promoting growth and social welfare; as well as on promotion of cooperation in human capital development, including exchanges between and mobility of researchers and students. This also includes a focus on protection of biodiversity and restoration of degraded ecosystems (on land and/or in the ocean) as well as strengthened mitigation strategies and effective adaptation practices to climate change and in the fight to counter biodiversity loss, pollution and other forms of environmental degradation, including increased awareness of the importance of investing in renewable energy. More in general, this Action aims to help advance existing dialogues and open avenues to expand relations to new selected areas of engagement through public diplomacy and policy dialogue activities, in line with prevailing priorities of shared interest. This may potentially include possible exchanges on trade and business relations, cultural affairs and media, civil society and women¿s rights, connectivity and digitalisation, multilateralism and the international rules-based order, security and defence, and other relevant thematic sectors in which policy dialogues with Brunei Darussalam are in progress or have the potential to be further explored in areas of mutual interest. Whenever possible and appropriate, the action will also seek synergies with and promote interventions supported under the EU¿s Global Gateway initiative.[2] This is the second phase of a short-term intervention already funded under the Rapid Response Pillar of NDICI. Building on the momentum created by activities organised in the first phase and capitalising on the lessons learnt, this new action aims at giving continuity and further broadening relationships and bilateral engagements in an increasingly complex and challenging multilateral environment, thus contributing to strengthen the overall relations between the EU and Brunei.[1] https://www.eeas.europa.eu/sites/default/files/jointcommunication_2021_24_1_en.pdf [2] https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/stronger-europe-world/global-gateway_en

Procurement Support for Learning Improvement for Results in Education Project (LIRE) in Niger Learning Improvement for Results in Education Project (LIRE), which aims to help the government of Niger improve access to education; quality of teaching and learning environments; and strengthen education planning and management in Niger.\n\nNiger's education system is evolving in a context marked by heavy demographic pressure, limited resources, and risks of major vulnerabilities. Despite recent progress, improving access and learning outcomes remains a significant challenge.

In addition, security issues amplify disparities in access to education with schools closing in areas where insecurity persists
