The project will evaluate the advantages of a pointing mirror as a technology candidate for reducing the detection threshold and increasing the coverage and capacity of GHGSat’s wide-angle Fabry-Pérot (WAF-P) spectrometer. The project will build on heritage technology from GHGSat, and its partners with lessons learned from a predecessor project supported by the Science and Technology Development Program (STDP) as well as updated simulations and operational experience from GHGSat’s existing satellite constellation. This project will advance technologies required for GHGSat’s next generation spectrometer sensor to achieve significantly reduced greenhouse gas detection thresholds while increasing coverage and measurement capacity. If successful, GHGSat intends to fly the next generation spectrometer sensor as an experimental hosted payload on a third-party satellite, followed by large-scale deployment in a constellation. Support for this project will accelerate GHGSat’s efforts to monitor facility-level greenhouse gas emissions from space to help operators and governments mitigate emissions in the fight against climate change.

The project aims to improve education outcomes for refugee, internally displaced, or host community girls and adolescent girls in humanitarian contexts, post-conflict, and host countries. The project does so by focusing on violence that might prevent their ability to access safe and quality education. Aligned with Data for Change I, this next phase of work expects to achieve this outcome by improving the use of evidence-based and solution-driven information to provide accessible, high-quality, gender-responsive and innovative formal and non-formal education for refugee, internally displaced, and host community girls by governments, donors, and other key stakeholders. The project’s activities prioritize countries with refugee and other forcibly displaced populations, including Uganda, Kenya, Honduras and Colombia. At the regional level, it intervenes in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Project activities include: (1) providing technical assistance for implementing the Violence Against Children Survey for Humanitarian Settings in Uganda, with special attention to sexual and gender-based violence and barriers to girls’ education; (2) disseminating the results of the Violence Against Children Survey for Humanitarian Settings among key stakeholders in the humanitarian sector; (3) providing technical assistance to the government of Honduras and Colombia to implement strategies and local action plans to prevent and respond to violence against girls and adolescent girls, focusing on the most vulnerable (e.g., internally displaced populations, refugees, and families affected by migration); (4) facilitating workshops on data-informed activism to support advocacy on issues surrounding sexual and gender-based violence, education and girls empowerment with adolescent girls and young women from selected countries in Latin America; (5) piloting school-based sexual and gender-based violence prevention and response interventions in selected districts in Kenya; and (6) supporting global and regional advocacy efforts in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa to advance local advocacy efforts on girls' empowerment, education and school-related gender-based violence.

This project enables the establishment of a regional training centre in Southern Africa, which aims to strengthen the biosafety and biosecurity capacities of states in this region. It supports the Signature Initiative to Mitigate Biological Threats in Africa, a collaboration between the G7-led Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
