Malawi-Compact Malawi's $350.7 million Millennium Challenge Corporation compact is a single-sector program designed to increase incomes and reduce poverty by revitalizing Malawi's power sector and improving the availability, reliability and quality of the power supply.  The compact's Power Sector Revitalization Project seeks to increase the capacity and stability of the national electricity grid and bolster the efficiency and sustainability of hydropower generation.  Project activities will support an enabling environment for future expansion by strengthening sector institutions and enhancing sector regulation and governance. As a result of these activities, the compact intends to reduce energy costs to enterprises and households and improve productivity in the agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors.

Frontier Technology Livestreaming: Electrification of Rural Clinics in Zimbabwe Frontier Technology Livestreaming (FTL) is a DFID-funded initiative, implemented by IMC Worldwide, which aims to apply frontier technologies to the biggest challenges in development. The initiative aims to allow DFID to pilot, test and refine Frontier Technology solutions live in their programmes and countries of operation, producing a stream of learning, insights and innovations. The FTL Pilot Project for Electrification of Rural Clinics in Zimbabwe, managed by Africa Power Storage (APS) in partnership with Crown Agents, forms part of this initiative. The project is piloting an innovative solution to the significant challenge of access to electricity across Sub-Saharan Africa. There are 600 million people living in Sub-Saharan Africa either without access to power or with unreliable access to power. This lack of energy access negatively impacts on health care delivery, particularly in remote regions. It can mean that medical procedures have to be carried out by candle light, many types of medical equipment cannot be used, and the cold-chain for vaccines and other vital health products cannot be maintained. APS’ SolarEnabler is a smart, connected, solar generator with integrated, advanced lithium battery storage, designed to collect and store PV solar power and to distribute that power intelligently. APS have designed the SolarEnabler as an all-in-one wall-mounted unit which accepts standard PV solar connectors and outputs power through user-friendly power connectors. Relative to conventional solar generators, the SolarEnabler is simple and quick to install.

Second Emergency Demobilization and Reintegration Project in Rwanda The overarching goal of the RDRP Stage III is to contribute to  consolidate peace and stability in the Great Lakes Region (especially  in Rwanda and DRC) through the completion of the DDR process for the  remaining Rwandan Armed Groups and the further reduction in size of  the Rwandan Defense Forces. Four main objectives will be achieved  through this intervention.  These are:
 
 1.	The disarmament, demobilization and reintegration of up to 5,500  members of armed groups (including approximately 500 children)  operating outside of Rwanda and particularly those in the Eastern DRC;
 2.	The demobilization of circa 4,000 personnel from the Rwanda Defense  Forces once the threat of AGs is reduced, allowing for the diversion  of some defense sector resources to the social and economic sectors;
 3.	Reinsertion and socio-economic reintegration support for ex-AG  members, newly demobilized RDF and 500 phase-II beneficiaries,  complemented by Vulnerability Support Window grants (VSW), for  vulnerable ex-combatants; and
 4.	Support for approximately 10,000 dependants of repatriated AG  members.
 
 These activities fall under the third stage of the "Rwanda  Demobilization and Reintegration Program" initiated by the Government  of Rwanda in 1997 and later supported in its second stage by the World  Bank through IDA Cr 36340, approved on April 25, 2002 and Grant  TF52159, approved on July 18, 2003.  Both credit and grant closed on  December 31, 2008
GCRF - Drugs and (dis)order: Building sustainable peacetime economies in the aftermath of war The project aims to lead to new policy responses towards conflict management, addressing illicit economies and fostering inclusive health and development in fragile states. The primary beneficiaries of the project will be populations living in conflict and drugs-affected borderland regions of Afghanistan, Colombia and Myanmar. The project will also directly support partner research organisations in these countries, strengthening their capacity to produce evidence and shape policy that directly targets the drivers of conflict, drugs and poverty. The project directly addresses the challenges of how to develop sustainable and inclusive peace in the aftermath of war and how to support more developmental responses to illicit drug economies, upon which the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of households in each country are reliant. The Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) supports cutting-edge research to address challenges faced by developing countries. The fund addresses the UN sustainable development goals. It aims to maximise the impact of research and innovation to improve lives and opportunity in the developing world.
