This project aims to increase the economic independence of Venezuelan refugees and migrants, particularly women with professional qualifications in Peru's health sector. Project activities include: (1) facilitating the degree revalidation processes; (2) supporting skills upgrading of revalidated professionals by providing access to online education; (3) promoting certified Venezuelan professionals’ recruitment by employers in the health and other sectors; and (4) assisting professionals in gaining experience in the local job market by subsidized, short-term placements with local health facilities, health service providers, and other organizations in the public and private sectors.
The project targets at least 2,500 Venezuelan professionals (50% women) in the health sector including at least 600 professionals in other sectors. It aims to focus primarily on Lima, a concentrated area in Peru with 85% of the Venezuelan population, other regions with refugee and migrant populations, and where they are most needed.

Conflict-related Sexual and Gender Based Violence (GBV) linked to the conflict in Tigray has increased needs for support to survivors across Tigray, as well as the adjacent regions of Amhara and Afar. Gaps in services include women and girl’s safe spaces (WGSS) for increasing numbers of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Shire and Mekelle, and mobile medical teams offering reproductive health care, community outreach, and initial clinical response and referral for survivors of GBV.

This UNFPA project proposes to addresses gaps in response, assist in rebuilding government and local capacity for survivors of sexual violence, and increase GBV awareness and risk mitigation through protection measures. Essential Sexual Health and Reproductive services would reduce maternal morbidity and mortality, and serve as an entry point for GBV education and services.

The project would target locations in Tigray including Mekelle, Agidrat, Adwa, Axum, Shire, Maychew, Humera, Alemata, and areas in Afar and Amhara hosting IDPs as a result of the Tigray conflict.

The project aims to improve the health status of the Rohingya refugees in Cox’s Bazar to reduce vulnerabilities in the refugee camps and increase the utilization of comprehensive healthcare services by targeted refugees. Health services in the Rohingya refugee camps are inadequate in addressing the health-related needs of the over 900,000 refugees. Only 17% of the 200 health facilities in the camps have 24/7 access, and only three health facilities have surgical facilities. Women and adolescent girls’ access to sexual and reproductive health services have also been affected by the COVID-19 lockdowns and reallocation of health care resources. These sexual and reproductive health gaps can result in avoidable maternal and infant mortality and long-term gynaecological health problems. There is a low level of understanding and awareness of sexual and reproductive health exacerbated by stigmatisation around family planning, contraception and menstrual hygiene management. This cultural issue limits women and girls’

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.

The project will monitor K2-141b for three complete orbits of the planet with the MIRI LRS on the James Webb Space Telescope for just under 21 hours of time. These observations will allow measurements the vertical atmospheric structure on the dayside of the planet, to determine the presence of an extended atmosphere via the planet's nightside temperature, and to search for rock clouds that might form as the supersonic winds blowing towards the nightside cool and condense.
