The initiative focuses on solutions that are grounded in science and technology, and are robust, cost-effective, and scalable.  This approach promotes the expansion of ideas, engages new actors in creating solutions and brings to the fore solutions that might not otherwise receive support.  The inaugural USAID Grand Challenge for Development, \u2015Saving Lives at Birth: A Grand Challenge for Development, targeted improvements in maternal and newborn health. Under another Grand Challenge, USAID, World Vision and the Australian Agency for International Development are partnering to launch a multi-year initiative that seeks to improve early grade reading outcomes in \r\nlow-resource settings called, \u2015All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development.\u2016  Through this fund, USAID is working to bring clarity and attention to the problem, to articulate the fundamental barriers to success, and to fund the design and implementation of solutions. The Agency expects to achieve substantial global impacts in early grade reading by leveraging the power of research, capitalizing on innovation, catalyzing partnerships, and increasing the utilization of science, technology, and 21st century infrastructure.  Overall, the Grand Challenges for Development will increase the pool of solvers through open innovation and public engagement to USAID Open Government Plan v2.0. \r\n"}],"multiple":false},{"id":"2.1.2","parent":"2.1","text":"Prioritized list of systems (datasets)","due":"90 days","due_date":"2012\/08\/21","fields":[{"type":"text","name":"2-1-2-name","label":"System Name","options":[],"value":["U.S. Overseas Loans and Grants (Greenbook)","USAID Development Credit Authority Guarantee Data: Loan Transactions"]},{"type":"text","name":"2-1-2-description","label":"System Description","options":[],"value":["These data are U.S economic and military assistance by country from 1946 to 2010.
