[HOT] USAID's Development Innovation Ventures - Letter of Interest (Due April 15th)

[nicolas chavent]

Hi Kate,

Thanks for having spot this opportunity and I fully agree with you that HOT
has to launch some of its FR and grant_writting forces into those options.
The two Haitian projects (STM020, Cap103) as well as the Tech work (you and
Tim carried out) around the HOT Export as well as the USAID > OTI interest
in furthering support to tool development or to see projects ala HT STM020
and Cap103 being replicated/adapted in HT or elsewhere or the USAID strong
ties we developed since HT 2010 are great assets that would make HOT
efforts in seeking additional USAID grants likely to bear fruits.

Just wondering if you have already something in mind, or if we start our FR
brainstorming for HOT in 2014 and from a wide list narrow down the FR items
that fit the USAID grants you identified above ?

*Regionalization of the FR effort* : other National Dev Agencies have
similar programs, it would be good to list them as well and see how to work
with them
DFID - UK : who funded the HIF and the ongoing OAM proposal submitted)
France - Agence Française de Développement
Japan ?
Italy ?
Spain ?
Others ?

Best,
Nico
