This Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration will provide $990,000.00 to Ret International, a non-profit organization, to deliver humanitarian assistance programming in Mauritania. The funding will support increased protection and resilience of refugee youth and host communities through two key objectives: 1) strengthening local management structures for the provision of quality education, and 2) enhancing the psychosocial resilience of adolescents and youth in the Mbera refugee camp. The award is part of the Department of State's Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa, authorized under CFDA 19.517, which seeks to address the basic needs of refugees and conflict-affected populations across the African continent. Ret International will work with local partners to execute these activities focused on vulnerable displaced populations in Mauritania.
