Grants and Contributions

Via this project, ODI-HPG will examine how the humanitarian sector can engage with the social
and political dynamics that influence humanitarian assistance through their new Integrated
Programme (IP). ODI-HPG will explore five research projects from a range of different angles,
in order to examine how the humanitarian sector can engage with the social and political
dynamics that influence humanitarian assistance.

Project activities for the Integrated Programme include: (1) Designing the research approach
and methodology through a comprehensive scoping and refining process; (2) Producing and
publishing in-depth research through literature reviews and case studies in partnership with
key actors; and (3) Develop final reports and recommendations and communicate findings through
policy engagement with key programme and policy actors.

This project aims to support a range of countries experiencing fragility, conflict, and violence to improve the quality and gender-responsiveness of their education systems and better address the health-related barriers that impede girls’ and adolescent girls’ access to quality education and learning, including for those with disabilities. This project is implemented by the World Bank in collaboration with the Global Financing Facility (GFF).

Through a dynamic agenda of keynote addresses, high-level panels, practitioner workshops, and peer-learning sessions, the Summit will provide a unique opportunity for participating officials to: Share local innovations in prevention and safeguarding social cohesion; Engage in in-depth discussion on strengthening national-local coordination; Explore inclusive responses to online hate and digital radicalisation; and Connect with peers, civil society actors, and international institutions to build sustained partnerships.

The project aims to partner with women's rights organizations in crisis- and conflict-affected and fragile situations of sub-Saharan Africa to build their capacity to effectively produce and use quality data and evidence to advocate for women and girls’ right to education and to make their voices heard in decision-making processes. Project activities include: (1) adapting Equal Measures 2030’s Data for Advocacy training curriculum to focus on barriers to girls’ and women’s education in crisis- and conflict-affected or fragile situations; (2) delivering this curriculum in a workshop to 50 women’s rights organizations from crisis- and conflict-affected or fragile sub-Saharan African countries; (3) conducting deeper analysis of the data, evidence and research on barriers to girls’ and women’s education by women’s rights organizations in two crisis- and conflict-affected or fragile countries; (4) completing a research and opinion leader survey on barriers to girls’ and women’s education in crisis- and conflict-affected or fragile situations; and (5) influencing key targets to collect and use quality data on barriers to girls’ and women’s education in crisis- and conflict-affected or fragile situations.

This project seeks to increase global health programming effectiveness, including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) programming. The Canadian Partnership for Women's and Children's Health (CanWaCH) implements this project. Project activities include: (1) hosting online knowledge exchange fora and an interactive database of international projects; (2) identifying Canadian experts to support improved measurement of results for Canadian efforts in developing countries; (3) promoting international standards in tracking and measuring results and facilitating related training opportunities; (4) supporting collaboration among organizations, including civil society organizations, academia and the private sector; and (5) providing Canadians with information on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health through public engagement and/or outreach activities.

The project expects to benefit the CanWaCH membership of over 90 Canadian organizations working to improve women's, adolescents' and children's health in developing countries; ultimately benefiting women, newborns, children and adolescents targeted by the CanWaCH membership programming.

This project aims to support the Executive Office of the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General to establish an Innovation Lab in order to develop stronger internal innovation and policy capacity that will leverage disruptive technologies and innovation practices. This project develops more powerful platforms and uses the UN’s convening power to serve as an effective global catalyst for responsible innovation.

Project activities include: (1) developing and mainstreaming data analytics applications to monitor the spread of COVID-19 and inform the pandemic response; (2) developing skills sets and tools to enable more effective data and evidence-driven approaches; (3) facilitating the flow of knowledge and ideas, including the adoption of innovation best practices and standards to coordinate approaches across the UN innovation ecosystem; and (4) adopting and using predictive analytics and analytical frameworks for violence prevention under the Prediction for Prevention Programme.

The purpose of the grant will be to hep fund costs for the 2024 conference. The BC Seed Orchard Association (BCSOA) is a group of tree seed orchardists interested in the exchange of technical, operational, research and development information to promote good seed orchard management. The BCSOA is planning to host the next BCSOA Conference and Field Tour on June 18-19 at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. The main objective is to collaborate and network with other tree seed orchards to improve business of sustaining high quality seed supply for the province of BC and Canada.

The project will enhance capacity to integrate and operate existing RPAS BLVOS through national standardized information and training for the achievement of BVLOS authorization and subsequent operation in SAR functions.

This project is about enhancing the use of GIS in search and rescue so as to improve final outcomes, improving interoperability between resources and among jurisdictions as well as streamlining record keeping and reporting. Currently, many GSAR teams are using freeware (e.g. OziExplorer, Avenza) that is not compatible with other jurisdictions and does not take advantage of many modern tools, such as mobile technologies. GSAR teams often do not have the technical knowledge, time, funds or skill to adapt these technologies to their situations. This project will build on the initial work that GSAR teams in Newfoundland have done to roll-out GIS for ground search and rescue. It aims to further the application of GIS through the use of web GIS tools and cellular technologies to improve search and rescue outcomes. This project will use ESRI Canada's ArcGIC platform, the MapSAR plug-in for ArcGIS, the integrated MapSAR functionality in D4H, and available web GIS apps and will be able to integrate with the Motorola radio system used by PEI GSAR.

The project improves the quality of schools by: (1) establishing accelerated learning programs for 5,700 students (2,850 girls; 2,850 boys); (2) training teachers on gender-responsive pedagogy; and (3) supporting school-based management committees and local education authorities to implement action plans to make schools safer and more girl-friendly based on girls’ feedback.
