III. Purpose of RFP
The Centre for Health Research and Innovation (CHRI) under USAID’s PLUS program plans to develop a digital resource platform tailored to meet the dynamic needs of the Climate and Health landscape. This innovative platform under Sustainable Action for Climate and Health (SACH) Initiative is envisioned as a comprehensive solution to the challenges faced by stakeholders seeking relevant information, tools, and services in this critical field.
At its core, the platform seeks to redefine accessibility and convenience by serving as a centralized hub for a wide spectrum of resources pertinent to Climate and Health. By adopting the concept of a 'one-stop-shop,' the platform aims to consolidate diverse offerings into a singular, user-friendly interface. This approach eliminates the inefficiencies associated with navigating multiple sources or platforms, offering users a seamless and efficient experience.
Through its unique design, the platform will not only facilitate easy access to information but also foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among stakeholders. By housing a diverse array of resources, including research findings, best practices, tools, and services, the platform would empower users to explore, engage, and innovate within the realm of Climate and Health resilience.
The detailed Scope of work is mentioned in Annexure-A.
