Please note that these two work assignments have tight and strict deadlines (can't be extended). Also, the experience working with US Agency for International Development (USAID) is very different from a typical research grant in terms of the substantial co-creation process, timely delivery of high-quality, insightful reports, and additional institutional recusal requirement. The research study findings (reports) will have direct impacts on the design of upcoming USAID resilience, food, and nutrition security programs in these two countries. We have done a similar study in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) last year and the reports are available on laserpulse.org under Research--> Resource Library. Please feel free to contact me (yih@purdue.edu) if you have any questions or need more information. There will be more funding opportunities through LASER PULSE in the future and please feel free to join our network (laserpulse.org) to get future notifications.
