This project aims to reduce the transmission risk of the COVID-19 pandemic and other infectious diseases in Maldives. This project contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by disposing of the newly sanitized waste through the regular waste management system rather than incinerating it. Project activities include: (1) procuring approximately 40 autoclaves, which sanitize medical waste; (2) installing the autoclaves in medical facilities across ten island atolls; and (3) providing training to staff in medical facilities on the use and maintenance of autoclaves. This project expects to directly benefit healthcare workers and patients by reducing the risk of transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases by providing a safe way to sanitize medical waste.

P007020001: This project aims to reduce disparities in learning and academic achievement for girls from 6 to 12 years old in the first cycle of primary education in the regions of Mopti and Ségou. Project activities include: (1) providing conditional financial assistance to targeted vulnerable families to support girls’ education; (2) implementing innovative initiatives to improve the safety, protection and transportation of students, especially girls; (3) developing a digital teaching-support platform that has gender-sensitive educational and instructional tools and resources; and (4) holding training workshops for teachers on the content of a new curriculum and on inclusive and gender-responsive teaching.
This project will benefit 44,500 people, including teachers, parents and community/religious leaders, 57% of them women.

Coastal areas are of paramount importance for global economic and social development. Vegetated coastal ecosystems provide numerous ecosystem services and are among the most productive habitats and efficient carbon sinks worldwide. Arctic expansion of vegetated coastal ecosystems may play an essential role in future biodiversity and carbon sequestration along the long Canadian coast, but quantitative tools are lacking.

The project proposes to evaluate the potential of two hyperspectral cameras developed within the frame of the WaterSat initiative to assess three major forms of algae found in the sub-arctic marine environment: phytoplankton, fixed and floating patches of macro-algae (e.g., kelp). The work will increase the research team's capability to map environmental parameters from Earth Observation data such as algal biomass and primary productivity, as well as their temporal variability and transportation along the coast.
