On July 22, 2021, USAID’s Bureau for Global Health and New Partnerships Initiative Expanding Health Partnerships activity hosted a forum with implementing partners to discuss transition awards, which provide a unique opportunity for USAID to strengthen and fund local organizations. This webinar shared guidance and lessons learned from speakers with experience in designing, implementing, and managing USAID Transition Awards. Presenters and panelists from USAID/Washington, USAID/Ethiopia, and international and local organizations provided insights on best practices and challenges in achieving a successful transition. Two local organizations, Pakachere Institute of Health and Development Communication in Malawi, and Auranitis Lifeline in Jordan, were highlighted.

This is the second webinar in a year-long series (2021-2022) of webinars on local capacity development (LCD) and global health. The series brings together USAID and international and local implementing partners to provide a collaborative learning platform to facilitate discussions across regions and countries on best practices, challenges, and current trends in LCD and global health.
