Expected Results

The USAID/Malawi MOMENTUM award(s) will contribute to the selected MOMENTUM APS results. The intermediate results identified are specific to this Round only. Validating the needs and gaps within these results will take place throughout the APS co-creation process. Co-creation enables coordinated problem-solving and solution development, making it easier to identify opportunities for innovation and systems changes, and also offers a valuable platform for forging new network connections and partnerships through which to implement activities.
