21 Feb 2010: Three new projects for ECIAfrica

Mon, 21 Feb 2011 01:26:53 -0800

ECIAfrica is proud to announce it has been awarded three new projects, with funding from three different donors. These new projects mark exciting additions to the ECIAfrica portfolio for 2011. The National Treasury of South Africa is addressing under-spending on infrastructure and seeking to alleviate a chronic backlog in the rollout of health care facilities, classrooms, and other government buildings. Under a three-year, $750,000 contract with the country�s Infrastructure Delivery Improvement Programme, ECIAfrica will work with the Department of Education in Free State province to establish structures to plan, manage, and monitor infrastructure delivery. This process includes promoting a culture of cooperation within the relevant provincial government departments to support the delivery of infrastructure. Under a subcontract to RTI, and with funding from USAID/PEPFAR, ECIAfrica has also begun a seven-month, $199,000 project to support South Africa�s Thuthuzela Care Centres (TCCs), which provide care, treatment, and legal services to victims of sexual assault.The ECIAfrica team will develop a self-assessment tool to be applied at 25 TCCs, and then facilitate the self-assessments with a goal of building the centres' capacities to comply with the TCC blueprint, site-specific protocols, and National Department of Health standards. The Partnership for African Fisheries (PAF) advises the Southern African Development Community on disseminating information on fishing and fisheries, one of the region�s most important but under-developed and under-regulated sectors. ECIAfrica has won a two-month, $70,000 contract with the U.K. Department for International Development to help transform the PAF into a self-sustainable and independent trust. The PAF is currently under the custody of the African Union�s development arm (New Partnership for Africa�s Development, or NEPAD). ECIAfrica will review options for establishing a trust or institution and prepare an action plan for the PAF transformation.
