The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $5,600,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to DAI Global LLC. The purpose of the project, titled HARENA, is to enhance biodiversity, species richness, and carbon storage, while reducing land-based emissions and increasing the resilience of people and ecosystem services in Madagascar. The project will run from March 29, 2024 to March 28, 2029.

Under the grant, DAI is collaborating with the Cooperative League of the United States of America (CLUSA) as a sub-grantee to implement sustainable economic development and private sector engagement activities as part of the natural resource management interventions. This supports the broader goals of the HARENA project to improve human wellbeing through enhanced environmental protection and community resilience.
