#PostOfTheWeek The first in a three-article series by M&E expert Gareth Davies shares some of the lessons and insights from a study on the Strengthening Host and Refugees Populations in Ethiopia (SHARPE) program in Ethiopia. SHARPE, funded by the U.K. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, works at the intersection of market systems development and humanitarian relief, and the aim of the study was to examine how it is using grants to catalyze change and innovation among private sector actors.

Congratulations to photographer Gabriela Calix. from the USAID Building Climate Resilience Activity—who has been named a 2024 Climatelinks photo contest winner. In the photo, a Cooperativa Agropecuaria Nuevo Edén Limitada facilitator measures water quality in Santa Inés, Honduras. Increased rainfall, flooding, and temperature changes due to climate change can lead to contamination or reduced water quality but with regular monitoring, communities can detect and address issues promptly. The communities are currently restoring watershed function, identifying point pollution, and ensuring a safe water supply despite challenges posed by extreme weather.

An initiative implemented by the USAID Trade Central Asia activity has directly assisted 65 businesses across Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. These enterprises are now exporting to new markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, where they have secured 16 contracts totaling $6.9 million. Beyond these statistics are improved qualities of life for rural citizens and inspiration for countless other would-be entrepreneurs looking to join Central Asia’s small business sector. Opening new markets stimulates beekeeping’s development in the Kyrgyz Republic, motivating local producers to create environmentally friendly natural honey and other related products. Here's the story of one beekeeper: https://buff.ly/3UebEta
