Reducing GHG emissions has long-term impacts on slowing climate change. Reducing GHG emissions can also have strong ancillary benefits for pollution, security, health, and women.
“Improved natural resource management” includes activities that promote enhanced management of natural resources for one or more objectives, such as conserving biodiversity, sustaining soil or water resources, mitigating climate change, and/or promoting sustainable agriculture. This is essential for preserving biodiversity and reducing the impact of climate change.
(Crosscutting Indicator) By requiring recipients to report on progress towards strengthening capacity on a regular (at least annual) basis, USAID is improving the capacity of public, private, for profit, and not for profit organizations in recipient countries to improve their financial management and their success in meeting the needs of their constituents.
(Crosscutting Indicator) USAID is increasing the number of awards made to local partners in order to strengthen country capacity by including local players alongside international donors, multi-lateral organizations, corporate investors, and non-governmental organizations. Strengthening local organizations will help USAID provide high quality development assistance to and through local systems to contribute towards increased sustainability and improved aid effectiveness.
(Crosscutting Indicator) USAID is increasing the amount of funds it gives to local organizations to strengthen country capacity by including local players alongside international donors, multi-lateral organizations, corporate investors, and non-governmental organizations. Strengthening local organizations will help USAID provide high quality development assistance to and through local systems to contribute towards increased sustainability and improved aid effectiveness. Because the U.S. Government can only give funds to organizations capable of managing those funds, an increased percentage in funds indicates higher capacity among local organizations.
(Crosscutting Indicator) Partner country systems are national arrangements covering Public Financial Management, procurement, audit, and the internal monitoring and evaluation functions of partner country governments. USAID’s assistance is most effective when it can work through partner country systems to improve local capacity. This ensures that the aid received reinforces the accountability of a government to its people and encourages partner countries to take the lead in managing their own development processes.

A hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. Areas are rated on a set of criteria and then prioritized according to their biological significance, which helps USAID decide where to focus its work. Improved natural resource management includes activities that improve management of natural resources for the objective of conserving biodiversity in areas that are identified as biologically significant through national, regional, or global priority-setting processes. This is essential for preserving biodiversity and reducing impact of climate change.
