Grant Description

The program is expected to bring significant new, non-public resources - whether money, ideas, technologies, experience or expertise - to address current weaknesses in early warning systems. OFDA intends to provide the catalytic resources needed to bring partners together, coordinate their involvement, and develop a better understanding of each partner's role as well as how each partner might benefit or further its own objectives through the proposed partnership. The proposed partnership should be able to continue beyond the duration of this program seeking new and innovative solutions to improving the effectiveness of early warning content and dissemination; and further enhancing community resilience without additional external donor resources.
