    The USAID NOFO No. 72044021RFA0002 addresses the "Reducing Pollution" initiative, outlining expectations for applicants in various phases of implementation, including Discovery, Organize for Action, and Implementation. USAID emphasizes the need for applicants to showcase their capabilities and a clear vision for achieving program goals earlier on, despite certain details being finalized post-award during the Discovery phase.
