RTI is heartbroken by the passing of our colleague Liana Gertsch. Liana’s dedication to international development, her many contributions over decades, and her memory will always stay with us as we continue in her footsteps.
A final goodbye to our beloved colleague, Liana Gertsch On July 2, 2024, I received devastating news that our dear colleague at RTI, Liana Gertsch, passed away while on assignment as the Chief of Party (COP) of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Transforming the Education System for Teachers and Students in Liberia (TESTS) Activity. Liana joined RTI International in 2019 as the COP for the USAID-funded Okuu Keremet! (Learning is Awesome) education project in Kyrgyzstan. Since then, I spoke with Liana almost weekly and we became friends over time. Her kind and generous spirit was of the likes that we only wish to be honored to know. Liana knew how to look at the big picture while not missing a single detail, and even during the most difficult times she would focus on the positive sides of everything. Liana was a dream colleague and was known for her professionalism, friendliness, humor, and passion for many things including cultures, languages, and always helping others. She was a trusted leader, expert, and mentor, helping her teams achieve meaningful impact and improve lives in the countries and communities where they work. Above all, she spoke of her three children all the time, with a great smile and so much pride. My heart breaks for them and I wish them peace and strength during this difficult time, and most importantly, to know that their mother was one of kind. Liana’s passion, hard work, and big heart left an ever-lasting impact on me. Liana, I will miss you beyond measure. Thank you for everything that you taught me. You have done well, and your legacy lives on. Now rest and know that you are loved.

At the Bounkiling health center, located 50 km (30 miles) from Sédhiou, Senegal, the lack of running water had been a significant challenge. For up to 4 months at a time, the center was without water due to a broken borehole. The burden fell on patients' families to bring water for treatment, making infection prevention and control a constant struggle. Thanks to the USAID-funded Owod project, implemented by RTI International, a new borehole constructed by the local Health Development Committee is now providing relief to over 23,000 patients and 52 staff members. With clean premises and well-maintained facilities, the center can now offer quality care with renewed motivation. "Thanks to the borehole, we can smile again and are now equipped to offer quality care to the population. Our premises are clean, with well-maintained toilets, which improves our motivation on a daily basis," says Dr. Bou Diarra, the district's chief medical officer.

We believe that sustainable development is best achieved through locally led efforts. Reflecting on their recent visit to the Philippines, RTI’s President & CEO Tim Gabel and Executive Vice President Paul Weisenfeld highlight how local organizations like PLLENRO, IMAP, and the Forest Foundation Philippines are leading the charge in transforming systems for clean energy, health, and conservation. Their dedication and expertise are pivotal in building resilient and adaptive communities. Through USAID-funded projects, we’re honored to partner with these organizations and others to foster impactful, long-lasting change. Read Tim and Paul’s blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/e_jQ47v4

#LocallyLed development in action in Ethiopia! 🌱 The Feed the Future Ethiopia Transforming Agriculture project’s flexible design allows it to listen, support, and scale local solutions. By working with local partners to achieve their own development objectives, which align with the project’s strategic objectives, it fosters meaningful collaboration and sustainable outcomes. An example? The project supports local agriculture and food system actors to improve access to healthy diets. When local actors in the Oromia and Southern Regions of Ethiopia wanted to advance enset (an indigenous crop), the team saw an opportunity to partner for greater impact. How?
