The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration has awarded a $3.4M Cooperative Agreement to Alight (formerly the American Refugee Committee) to implement the Livelihood, Economic, Accountable and Protective Solutions II (LEAPS2) program for refugees and host communities in Uganda. This 1-year award, effective September 1, 2023, will provide a range of humanitarian assistance and development services to address the basic needs of refugee populations in Uganda, including livelihood support, economic empowerment, protection, healthcare, nutrition, water/sanitation/hygiene, gender-based violence prevention, mental health and psychosocial support, and child protection. Under this Cooperative Agreement, Alight has sub-awarded a portion of the funding to The Center for Victims of Torture (CVT) to deliver specialized trauma rehabilitation services for refugee communities impacted by torture and violent conflict. CVT will leverage its expertise in providing direct psychological care, capacity building, and resilience efforts to support the broader LEAPS2 program objectives in Uganda. The Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa (CFDA 19.517) fund this cooperative agreement, which commonly awards $500K to $4M annually to non-profit organizations implementing humanitarian aid and development programs for refugee populations across the African continent.
