Make recommendations to catalyze sustainable access to improved urban sanitation, address gender issues, and enhance coordination among WASH and nutrition programs.	Agency for International Development	2	USAID-ETH-30		Analytical writing, Cultural diplomacy, Data analysis, Data visualization, Design thinking, Political Analysis, Research, Social media management, Storytelling/blogging/vlogging	Ethiopia achieved its Millennium Development Goal target of 57 percent access to safe drinking water, halving the number of people without access to safe water since 1990. Yet access to improved sanitation remains stubbornly low at only 28 percent. Despite these strides, safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) coverage remains insufficient. Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services and poor hygiene practices negatively impact health; diarrhea is one of the leading causes of under-five mortality in Ethiopia. To catalyze sustainable access to improved sanitation, we are helping to create widespread demand for sanitation products and services through a community-led total sanitation and hygiene approach. This project opportunity will enable students to support the design of our new urban sanitation program through review of research and synthesis of findings and recommendations.

Analytical writing, Data analysis, Economic analysis, Research	Participation of women in Self Help Groups: Impact on Gender Based Economic Violence	The proposed research would be to examine the association between women’s participation in Self Help Groups (SHG) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Gender Based Economic Violence (GBV) they experience.	Agency for International Development	2	USAID-USA-42		Analytical writing, Data analysis, Economic analysis, Research	Women Self Help Groups (SHG) are composed of 15-25 or more selected individuals who form a group and functions as a group based on the concept of provision of public goods through collaboration. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) the main activity of these groups is to create a loan fund-by pooling their own saving- to provide access to finance in the form of loans to its members. Some of these groups also collaborate in improved farming practices to increase production and productivity and improving access to agricultural markets. The proposed research will explore opportunities reducing for Gender Based Economic Violence (GBV) through participation in SHGs. The GBVs that could be considered include limited access to institutional finance (credit) and household finance; controlled access to health care, employment, education, including agricultural resources (land); exclusion from financial decision making; and discriminatory traditional laws on inheritance, property rights, and use of communal land. Literature from South Asia-Bangladesh, Vietnam and India- shows positive association between women’s participation in SHGs and access to credit and women’s health and education outcomes. The proposed research will survey the SHGs in SSA and examine the association between women’s participation in SHGs on variables like access to credit, household finance, access to health care, education, property rights and financial decision making. The hypothesis here would be that there is a positive association between participation/membership in SHGs and the above variables, which implies reduced gender based violence against SHG members.

Agency for International Development	2	USAID-USA-12		Analytical writing, Design thinking, Economic analysis, Research	1. What We Do Recognizing that no one organization alone can solve the world’s most intractable agricultural and nutrition challenges, USAID Bureau for Food Security’s Office of Market & Partnership Innovations (USAID/BFS/MPI) seeks to build partnerships that leverage the combined skills, assets, technologies, and resources of the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. More than 90% of financial flows from the United States to the developing world come from private sources, and the private sector plays a critical role in driving sustainable economic development around the world. USAID/BFS/MPI builds dynamic, mutually beneficial alliances with global and local companies to foster economic growth that is focused on smallholder farmers and their families, reduce poverty, and improve nutrition outcomes for women and children. Our best partnerships are ones where we have a strong sense of shared value. By shared value, we mean partnerships that advance the company’s core business interests while also contributing to the USAID’s development objectives. Some examples of this include: -Coffee Farmer Resilience Fund, a program in which USAID partnered with major US coffee companies to assist coffee farmers in financing and implementing sustainable coffee cultivation practices. -Partnering for Innovation, a program that has developed more than 50 partnerships with businesses whose products or services have helped smallholder farmers tackle a variety of issues, including cold storage, water management, and animal health. 2. What We Need From You USAID/BFS/MPI needs einterns to act as virtual shared value analysts to help us identify and vet potential partners to collaborate on future work.

USAID-USA-1 Guidance on greenhouse gas calculators for agriculture Help develop guidance for users of calculators that estimate greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. Research, Writing	Guidance on greenhouse gas calculators for agriculture	Help develop guidance for users of calculators that estimate greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.	Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-1		Research, Writing	Agriculture is a major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change, especially in the tropics, and stakeholders need to estimate the influence development projects could have on these emissions, both in advance and after implementation. A number of calculators have been developed to support this need including (for example) Ex-Act, the CCAFS MOT, the ALU tool, and the Cool Farm Tool. These tools vary in a number or respects, making each one more or less useful for different users. Within and beyond USAID, there is a strong need for guidance to help users understand the strengths of each calculator and the types of projects and uses for which it is appropriate. Collaborating with staff in the Office of Global Climate Change (GCC), and building on existing GCC analysis, the Fellow will develop a framework for comparing these calculators and guidance for users. This effort could also result in identification of gaps in user needs that none of the existing tools meet. The user guidance could include case studies to illustrate the strengths and limitations for different tools. The Fellow will begin by reviewing previous comparisons of these tools and experimenting with the tools to gain first-hand familiarity and insights. From there, the Fellow will develop a framework for comparison, with guidance from GCC staff, and will use that framework to refine the comparison and develop guidance materials. This guidance will form part of a larger set of analyses that GCC has supported to enable low-emissions agriculture development, and will complement other guidance materials GCC has developed for Agency staff designing climate change programs.

Agency for International Development	1	USAID-USA-21		Analytical writing, Data analysis, Economic analysis, Research	Economic growth in the developing world in the past two decades has helped reduce poverty and increase the size of the middle class. In addition to the impacts on poverty and inequality, a growing middle class will also stimulate growth in demands for consumer goods and a host of services sector outputs. These in turn could result in increased private investment-including US private sector investment, international trade, employment generation and host of other secondary economic impacts. In this context, this research will explore the trends in size of the middle class in SSA in relation to the significant economic growth in the sub-continent. It will compare the growth of middle class in SSA vis-à-vis the trends in other regions of the developing world and test the hypothesis that middle class growth path in SSA is comparable to those in other regions of the developing world. An increasing size of the middle class could trigger a second wave of economic growth and poverty reduction in SSA. This research will explore the impact of growth in middle class on economic growth and poverty reduction. It will also analyze the impacts of a growing middle class market on private investment, employment and other economic impacts. The expected results will inform policies for promoting economic growth and poverty reduction. It will also inform opportunities for U.S. private investment in context of a growing middle class market.		United States			2018-06-03 23:59:23	100		1491

To limit the extent of dangerous climate change, there is a strong need to retain carbon in the landscape by protecting forests and accelerating reforestation, especially in developing countries. A number of analyses and guidance materials contribute to USAID’s efforts to achieve this objective. They include, for example: Assessing the relative impact of a given investment in reforestation vs. forest protection in selected countries; Assembling and writing concise summaries of how decentralization of control over natural resources from National to Local governments contributes to carbon storage in landscapes; Developing communications materials about how development programs can reduce unsustainable harvesting of trees for charcoal or firewood; Conducting retrospective analyses of development programs designed to limit land use change (to assess success many years after programs finished); Using geospatial analysis of land use change where development projects have been implemented to assess project success and inform future designs.

To limit the extent of dangerous climate change, there is a strong need to limit agricultural expansion while ensuring a secure supply of food, especially in developing countries with high rates of poverty and malnutrition. In response to this need, development agencies including USAID have advanced numerous efforts to increase crop production on a parcel of land while avoiding expansion and other negative consequences of some agricultural practices (“sustainable intensification”). However, implementing these programs successfully is challenging and frequently focuses on increasing production with scant attention to expansion into forests and other ecosystems. Collaborating with staff in the Office of Global Climate Change (GCC), and building on existing GCC analysis, the Fellow will develop a series of case studies that illustrate necessary conditions for sustainable intensification to succeed, the types of evidence required to assess success, and the integrity of past claims of success. These case studies will form part of a larger set of guidance materials intended to help USAID staff design effective sustainable intensification programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use change while improving food security.

Since the end of the Liberian Civil War in 2003, the country has held three national elections generally perceived as free and fair. It has also taken on the difficult task of rebuilding its economy, and strengthening its educational and health care delivery systems. The 2014-2015 Ebola Virus Disease outbreak drained the Government of vitally needed resources, slowed economic growth, and delayed key development projects. The worldwide response led by the United States helped bring the worst of the outbreak under control. Our work helps build confidence in public governance, brings reforms to key institutions and fosters measurable improvements in the lives of average Liberians. You will conduct desk research using appropriate resources (e.g. academic papers, indices, local and international news stories, blogs, social media) on a wide range of topics to create products, such as matrices, databases, reports, infographics, briefing memos, and presentations to help the Mission leadership make project and strategy decisions.
