Request for Proposal (RFP) for Travel, Accommodation, Flight, and Cab Booking Services for Pure Earth India
Introduction:
Pure Earthwww.pureearth.org is the leading international not-for-profit dedicated to reducing toxic pollution-related impacts on the health of the populations especially children and pregnant women. Pollution is the leading cause of death in the world, more than HIV, AIDS and TB combined. Pure Earth identifies and cleans up severely polluted places in low and middle-income countries, focusing on sites where human health, especially that of women and children, is most at risk. Since 1999, Pure Earth has completed 110 pilot projects in 27 countries, impacting 4.2 million lives.
This project will strengthen the state health system and create expertise to collect, store, analyze, and use childhood toxic exposure data, not only to identify sources but to also raise awareness and enable the state government to plan, advocate for, and enact sound, cost-effective policies and interventions to address root causes. The project will provide needed clinical guidance and training for health professionals on toxic pollution source monitoring, their prevention and the dissemination of information about toxic pollution exposure. To reduce toxic pollution and save lives, we partner with local and international organisations, communities, funders, and governments.
