USAID seeks information on how higher education institutions can address water, climate, and gender development challenges in Pakistan. The information could inform the scope of future USAID awards to U.S. universities. Responses to this Request for Information will inform the design of a potential $1.5 million Water, Climate, and Gender Activity (WCGA), subject to the availability of funds. This is not a request for proposal or application. American and Pakistani higher education institutions have the potential to be central actors in advancing Pakistan’s climate resilience and gender equity. Challenges around water, environment and climate change demand active involvement of diverse actors–especially universities–to solve these challenges. The U.S. - Pakistan “Green Alliance” is a framework for bilateral cooperation that enables both countries to jointly face the climate, environmental, and economic needs of the present and future. This framework delivers partnerships on agriculture, water, and clean energy. Women and girls, in all their diversity, play a critical leadership role in addressing the climate crisis. Globally, the relationship among women, girls, the environment, and their communities makes women and girls uniquely poised to develop and contribute to locally relevant and effective climate interventions reflective of the entire population. Further, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and related disasters are exacerbated by the climate crisis, which disproportionately affects women and girls.

The South Salt Lake Neighborhood Block Party Grant program is designed to foster community engagement and strengthen neighborly bonds within the city. Recognizing that strong neighborhoods are built upon positive relationships, this initiative directly aligns with a foundational mission of promoting community well-being and resident interaction. By offering financial assistance and support for event planning, South Salt Lake aims to empower its residents to create vibrant and connected communities, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life in the city. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are the residents of South Salt Lake, specifically those who host and participate in block parties. The program targets individuals and families within neighborhoods, encouraging them to come together for shared experiences. The impact goals are centered on building stronger community ties, fostering a sense of belonging, and increasing opportunities for family-friendly activities. This includes creating environments where neighbors can interact, build relationships, and collectively enhance their immediate living spaces. The program prioritizes events that bring residents together, offering financial help for eligible expenses such as food, paper goods, door prizes, and entertainment/performers. A key focus is on events that are open to all residents in the neighborhood and take place on the host's block within city boundaries. This ensures that the grant effectively supports broad community participation and localized engagement, emphasizing inclusivity and accessibility for all neighbors. The expected outcomes of the Neighborhood Block Party Grant program include an increase in neighborly interactions, a stronger sense of community identity, and a greater number of family-fun activities occurring in various blocks across South Salt Lake. Measurable results will include the successful execution of up to five block parties during the 2024 season, with each event potentially impacting numerous residents through social engagement and shared experiences. The program's theory of change posits that by providing direct support for community-led initiatives, residents will be more empowered to take an active role in shaping their neighborhoods, leading to more cohesive and supportive local environments.
