Project’s General Description and Objectives Sample Clauses

Project’s General Description and Objectives. USAID launched the project ‘Saúde para Todos’ (Health For All, or HFA) in Angola at the beginning of 2017, to support the government’s efforts to increase quality health service delivery in the country. The five-year project builds on years of bilateral collaboration and is targeted toward major improvements in health through sustainable approaches and increased country ownership. HFA is led by Population Services International (PSI), who is the prime recipient, and implemented in partnership with Management Sciences for Health (MSH), Rede Mulher Angola (RMA), Tropical Health (TH), and The MENTOR Initiative. Together they form a team of global and local technical experts. The project will deliver a package of health interventions that cover Malaria (Result 1 and 2), HIV/AIDS (Result 3), Family Planning / Reproductive Health (Result 4) and Health Systems Strengthening (Result 5), in selected municipalities and provinces throughout the country, reaching the most vulnerable citizens of Angola. As the Health for All prime, PSI/A will serve as the program’s administrative secretariat, leading responses to mission requests, overseeing partners and implementation of agreements, and serving as the primary contact for USAID. ● For Result 1, PSI/A will lead workshops for the NMCP, DPS, and partners on how to implement distribution, share tools, disseminate mass distribution strategy, etc. as well as lead LLIN distribution in the 18 provinces, with support from selected local partners. ● For Result 2, PSI/A will develop the Provider Behavior Change Communication (PBCC) methodology and tools for Quality Assurance (QA), as well as collection and management of aggregated service delivery data through DHIS2. PSI/A will also lead the implementation of iCCM pilots and the strategy development for all SBCC under Results 1 and 2, and implementation in Lunda Sul, Lunda Norte, and Malanje. ● For Result 3, PSI/A will manage activities developed and implemented by MSH, whose responsibilities include establishing a sustainable model for providing high-quality HIV and AIDS services through the prevention, care, and treatment continuum (CoC), in support of the government’s efforts to maintain the country’s relatively low HIV prevalence. Interventions are only to be made in the province of Luanda, with possibility of extension to other provinces, as jointly determined by INLS/USAID. ● For Result 4, PSI/A will lead and implement all Family Planning(FP) activities such as reinforcing ...

  • Goals and Objectives of the Agreement Agreement Goals The goals of this Agreement are to: ● Reduce wildfire risk related to the tree mortality crisis; ● Provide a financial model for funding and scaling proactive forestry management and wildfire remediation; ● Produce renewable bioenergy to spur uptake of tariffs in support of Senate Bill 1122 Bio Market Agreement Tariff (BioMat) for renewable bioenergy projects, and to meet California’s other statutory energy goals; ● Create clean energy jobs throughout the state; ● Reduce energy costs by generating cheap net-metered energy; ● Accelerate the deployment of distributed biomass gasification in California; and ● Mitigate climate change through the avoidance of conventional energy generation and the sequestration of fixed carbon from biomass waste. Ratepayer Benefits:2 This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits of greater electricity reliability, lower costs, and increased safety by creating a strong market demand for forestry biomass waste and generating cheap energy. This demand will increase safety by creating an economic driver to support forest thinning, thus reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire and the associated damage to investor-owned utility (IOU) infrastructure, such as transmission lines and remote substations. Preventing this damage to or destruction of ratepayer-supported infrastructure lowers costs for ratepayers. Additionally, the ability of IOUs to use a higher- capacity Powertainer provides a much larger offset against the yearly billion-dollar vegetation management costs borne by IOUs (and hence by ratepayers). The PT+’s significant increase in waste processing capacity also significantly speeds up and improves the economics of wildfire risk reduction, magnifying the benefits listed above. The PT+ will directly increase PG&E’s grid reliability by reducing peak loading by up to 250 kilowatt (kW), and has the potential to increase grid reliability significantly when deployed at scale. The technology will provide on-demand, non- weather dependent, renewable energy. The uniquely flexible nature of this energy will offer grid managers new tools to enhance grid stability and reliability. The technology can be used to provide local capacity in hard-to-serve areas, while reducing peak demand. Technological Advancement and Breakthroughs:3 This Agreement will lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers to the achievement of California’s statutory energy goals by substantially reducing the LCOE of distributed gasification, helping drive uptake of the undersubscribed BioMAT program and increasing the potential for mass commercial deployment of distributed biomass gasification technology, particularly through net energy metering. This breakthrough will help California achieve its goal of developing bioenergy markets (Bioenergy Action Plan 2012) and fulfil its ambitious renewable portfolio standard (SB X1-2, 2011-2012; SB350, 2015). The PT+ will also help overcome barriers to achieving California’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction (AB 32, 2006) and air quality improvement goals. It reduces greenhouse gas and criteria pollutants over three primary pathways: 1) The PT+’s increased capacity and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) module expand the displacement of emissions from conventional generation; 2) the biochar offtake enables the sequestration of hundreds of tons carbon that would otherwise have been released into the atmosphere; and 3) its increased processing capacity avoids GHG and criteria emissions by reducing the risk of GHG emissions from wildfire and other forms of disposal, such as open pile burning or decomposition. The carbon sequestration potential of the biochar offtake is particularly groundbreaking because very few technologies exist that can essentially sequester atmospheric carbon, which is what the PT+ enables when paired with the natural forest ecosystem––an innovative and groundbreaking bio-energy technology, with carbon capture and storage. Additionally, as noted in the Governor’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan (2011), clean energy jobs are a critical component of 2 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) requires projects funded by the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) to result in ratepayer benefits. The California Public Utilities Commission, which established the EPIC in 2011, defines ratepayer benefits as greater reliability, lower costs, and increased safety (See CPUC “Phase 2” Decision 00-00-000 at page 19, May 24, 2012, xxxx://xxxx.xxxx.xx.xxx/PublishedDocs/WORD_PDF/FINAL_DECISION/167664.PDF). 3 California Public Resources Code, Section 25711.5(a) also requires EPIC-funded projects to lead to technological advancement and breakthroughs to overcome barriers that prevent the achievement of the state’s statutory and energy goals. California’s energy goals. When deployed at scale, the PT+ will result in the creation of thousands of jobs across multiple sectors, including manufacturing, feedstock supply chain (harvesting, processing, and transportation), equipment operation, construction, and project development. ● Annual electricity and thermal savings; ● Expansion of forestry waste markets; ● Expansion/development of an agricultural biochar market; ● Peak load reduction; ● Flexible generation; ● Energy cost reductions; ● Reduced wildfire risk; ● Local air quality benefits; ● Water use reductions (through energy savings); and ● Watershed benefits.
