USAID Clean Air Catalyst Program Fact Sheet

The program seeks to address the significant health and environmental impacts of air pollution, which is estimated to cause 6.7 million premature deaths annually. The fact sheet outlines the program's strategy, which includes working in three initial pilot cities, using a novel approach that combines participatory science, structured media engagement, and assessment of public perceptions to build a shared understanding of pollution sources. The program also involves building coalitions of public- and private-sector partners to reduce emissions from key pollution sources. The document provides an overview of the program's goals, strategy, and partners, as well as contact information for additional information.
