Enabling and Protecting Civic Space (EPCS) Illuminating New Solutions and Programmatic Innovations for Resilient Spaces (INSPIRES) project Soluciones de iluminación cívicas de permisión y de protección del espacio (EPCS) nuevas e innovaciones programáticas para el proyecto resistente de los espacios (INSPIRA) The Enabling and Protecting Civic Space (EPCS) Illuminating New Solutions and Programmatic Innovations for Resilient Spaces (INSPIRES) project will increase knowledge and capacity to respond to growing restrictions on democratic freedoms of association, assembly, and expression around the world. With civic space shifting rapidly around the globe, faster and more potent interventions are critical for bolstering local civil societies. Many current best practices have been developed through a series of ad hoc responses to closures of civic and political space. Through in-depth research, earlier forecasting of civic space shifts, and rigorous evaluation of different interventions, civil society can be better supported to navigate and influence these shifts in proactive, effective, and strategic ways. Las soluciones de iluminación cívicas de permisión y de protección del espacio (EPCS) nuevas y las innovaciones programáticas para el proyecto resistente de los espacios (INSPIRA) aumentarán conocimiento y capacidad de responder a las restricciones cada vez mayor en libertades democráticas de asociación, de asamblea, y de expresión en todo el mundo. Con el desplazamiento de espacio cívico rápidamente en el mundo entero, intervenciones más rápidas y más potentes son críticas para alentar a sociedades civiles locales. Muchas mejores prácticas actuales se han desarrollado con una serie de respuestas ad hoc a los cierres del espacio cívico y político. Con la investigación profundizada, el pronóstico anterior de los cambios de espacio cívicos, y la evaluación rigurosa de diversas intervenciones, la sociedad civil puede ser apoyada mejor para navegar y para influenciar estos cambios de maneras dinámicas, eficaces, y estratégicas.
Catalyze Blended Capital Investment Platform Catalice la plataforma mezclada de la inversión de capitales Catalysez la plate-forme mélangée d'investissement de capitaux This BAA is intended to address the challenge of how to most effectively increase private investment, in a developing country where private funds currently only flow to traditional asset classes (e.g. debt and equity in sovereign and investment grade borrowers) in order to address the gap between the amount of investment needed in the countries where USAID works, and the public sectors ability to finance these projects. Increasing private investment will require addressing problems with supply (those with funds to invest), demand (those seeking to receive finance), and intermediation (those who match supply with demand), as well as improving the overall enabling environment. Este BAA se piensa para dirigir el desafío de cómo aumentar lo más con eficacia posible la inversión privada, en un país en vías de desarrollo adonde los fondos privados fluyen actualmente solamente a las clases tradicionales del activo (e.g deuda y equidad en prestatarios del grado soberano y de inversión) para dirigir el hueco entre la cantidad de inversión necesaria en los países adonde los trabajos de USAID, y a la capacidad de los sectores públicos de financiar estos proyectos. La inversión privada cada vez mayor requerirá los problemas de dirección con la fuente (ésas con los fondos a invertir), la demanda (ésas que intentan recibir finanzas), y la mediación (ésas que hacen juego la fuente con demanda), así como mejoran el ambiente de permisión total. Ce BÊLEMENT est prévu pour relever le défi de la façon augmenter le plus effectivement l'investissement privé, dans un pays en développement où les fonds privés coulent actuellement seulement dans les classes traditionnelles de capitaux (par exemple dette et capitaux propres dans des emprunteurs souverain et d'échelon d'investissement) afin d'adresser l'espace entre la quantité d'investissement requise dans les pays où des travaux d'USAID, et la capacité de secteurs publics de financer ces projets. L'investissement privé croissant exigera les problèmes d'adressage avec l'offre (ceux avec des fonds à investir), la demande (ceux cherchant à recevoir des finances), et l'entremise (ceux qui assortissent l'approvisionnement avec la demande), aussi bien qu'améliorent l'environnement permettant global.

Human Rights Systems, Policies and Protection Sistemas, políticas y protección de los derechos humanos Evaluation is the systematic collection and analysis of information about the characteristics and outcomes of programs and projects as a basis for judgments, to improve effectiveness and inform decisions about current and future programming. Evaluations are distinct from (a) needs assessments, which are designed to examine country or sector context to inform project design, (b) internal informal reviews of projects and (c) audits (conducted either internally or by an external audience). Such efforts should not be included in PO.3. However, evaluability assessments -- those assessments completed with the purpose of determining whether or not an evaluation of an activity can be conducted -- should be included in PO.3. This program area should include all evaluations designed and funded with foreign assistance funding, including the components of contracts with task orders for evaluations (regardless of the mechanism). It should also include all independent contractors hired solely to produce an evaluation(s); all other contractors (e.g., those whose job responsibilities may include support or management of evaluation but not the production of an evaluation as a deliverable) should be placed in PO.2 La evaluación es la colección y el análisis sistemáticos de la información sobre las características y los resultados de programas y de proyectos como base para los juicios, mejorar eficacia e informar a decisiones sobre la programación actual y futura. Las evaluaciones son distintas (a) de las evaluaciones de necesidades, que se diseñan para examinar el país o el contexto del sector para informar a diseño de proyecto, (b) los estudios informales internos de proyectos y (c) las auditorías (condujo internamente o por una audiencia externa). Tales esfuerzos no se deben incluir en PO.3. Sin embargo, evaluaciones del evaluability -- esas evaluaciones terminaron con el propósito de la determinación de independientemente de si una evaluación de una actividad puede ser conducida -- debe ser incluido en PO.3. Esta área del programa debe incluir todas las evaluaciones diseñadas y financiadas con la financiación extranjera de la ayuda, incluyendo los componentes de contratos con los órdenes de la tarea para las evaluaciones (sin importar el mecanismo). Debe también incluir todos los contratistas independientes empleó solamente para producir una evaluación; el resto de los contratistas (e.g., los cuyas responsabilidades del trabajo pueden incluir la ayuda o la gestión de la evaluación pero no la producción de una evaluación como entregable) se deben colocar en PO.2

Developing Acute Care and Emergency Referral Systems(ACERS) The Developing Acute Care and Emergency Referral Systems Project assesses the added value of a program of implementation research, action, and capacity building to timely care-seeking behavior and effective referrals to improve maternal and neonatal care in two regions of Ghana. Project efforts build off the Three Delay Model, with a focus on the second and third delay for obstetric and neonatal emergencies. Ghana continues to experience high maternal and neonatal mortality rates despite a well-organized, decentralized system of health care. Additionally, the lack of policies and guidelines for comprehensive care at the district level have resulted in emergency care and referral initiatives that are not well-coordinated and have unknown efficacy and impact. The ACERS project will augment the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) platform with activities around acute care and emergency referral systems from the community to the district level, seeking to prove that separate components of care can be assembled into a sustainable single system with scale-up capabilities. ACERS will be woven into the fabric of Ghana s regional, district, and community health system structures to ensure the implementation of a sustainable and scalable model. This implementation research effort, co-managed and co-financed by USAID Ghana, supports the Government of Ghana s vision of improved service delivery and progress towards self-reliance.
