Grants and Contributions

The objective of this project is to provide targeted technical assistance to the authorities of Pakistan in the short and medium term to enhance border management controls, through coordinated engagement with the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) in Islamabad. The initiative leverages INTERPOL’s unique mandate and capabilities in international police cooperation and secure information exchange to support Pakistan in strengthening its border management framework and operational effectiveness.
Project activities will include: (1) a comprehensive assessment of existing technical and operational capacities at the NCB in Islamabad, Islamabad International Airport, and selected land border crossing points; (2) the development and delivery of a tailored training curriculum on the use of INTERPOL policing capabilities and priority crime areas, including the provision of necessary equipment as identified through the assessment; and (3) in the final phase, the practical application of acquired knowledge and skills acquired during the training phase to ensure effective implementation and sustainability.

Through this project, the United Nations Office for Project Services supports the Haitian National Police (HNP) to equipping and improving infrastructure at their National Police School and Academy (ENP and ANP) to build their ranks and expertise to effectively counter gang violence and regain control of the country. Project activities include: (1) procuring and distributing essential goods and equipment to enhance training quality, operational effectiveness, and security; and (2) acquiring and oversee rehabilitation processes of infrastructure, which could include electrical system improvements to ensure that training installations adhere to modern safety, security, health, and accommodation standards.

Project activities that include: (1) providing technical assistance to agri-SMES at the pre- and post-investment stage to increase their capacity to access and manage financing; (2) building capacity for lenders to adapt their product offering, enhance their staff expertise, improve and create environmental, social, and governance policies; and (3) conducting data and learning activities to inform adjustments to incentive levels and technical assistance as the market evolves.

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.

This project will collect data with NIRISS and NIRSpec for 15 of the most promising water-world candidates. It will provide vital constraints on the existence of water worlds and will allow characterization of the chemical diversity of their atmospheres. The existence of water worlds has important implications for theories of planet formation, and they represent a new regime of atmospheric chemistry that has until now remained uncharted.

This project will observe a uniquely hot and dense sub-Neptune exoplanet, TOI-842b, in order to determine its structure and composition. The study will determine if the exoplanet is an exposed Neptune mantle, like Neptune that lacks the large H2 envelope, as well as determine the composition and thermal structure of its atmosphere. These results will obtain one of the deepest understandings of a sub-Neptune planet yet, as well as expand the understanding of sub-Neptune formation.
