OpportunityTitle: Workshops on Confronting Air Pollution at its Source
Description: The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi (PAS New Delhi) seeks proposals for a project entitled &#8220;Workshops on Confronting Air Pollution at its Source.&#8221; Through this project, a grantee will implement a series of workshops at the American Center for non-governmental organizations/actors who activities are contributing to the NCR&#8217;s air quality problem, offering them guidance on how similar activities are conducted in the United States with considerably lower emissions of fine-particulate matter. After the three workshops are completed, the grantee will prepare a report for distribution to all participants at a final session in which the participants can also share any activities (and any results) arising from the workshops. The grantee should organize a total of three two-day workshops at the American Center in New Delhi. Each workshop should focus on one of the following themes &#8211; construction dust, crop rotation and vehicular movement (including road dust). Each workshop should have a minimum of 15 participants, and they should be selected based on their involvement in the activities that cause air pollution and who have leadership positions in their sectors, either de jure or de facto (e.g., large construction companies, head of farmer cooperatives, municipal agencies). The participants should be from the NCR region, except for the crop rotation workshop, which will be populated by agriculture sector leaders from Punjab and Haryana. The grantee will be responsible for recruiting and securing participation of American experts and resources persons &#8211; at least one for each workshop. PAS New Delhi will provide final approval of the American speakers. After the three workshops are completed, the grantee will prepare a report for distribution to all participants at a final session in which the participants can also share any activities (and any results) arising from the workshops.
