The Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency awarded a $405,000 Project Grant to Lutheran World Relief Inc. under the Food for Progress program (CFDA 10.606) on January 16, 2024. The grant supports Lutheran World Relief Inc.'s efforts to improve agricultural productivity and expand trade of agricultural products in target countries through activities focused on sustainable agriculture practices, market systems analysis, agriculture value chains, and livelihood diversification. Lutheran World Relief Inc. has also received past Food for Progress grants and implemented related programs in countries such as Togo, Burkina Faso, and Nigeria. Additionally, the organization has been involved as a subrecipient on USAID grants, responsible for cacao sector activities including building the capacity of local agricultural institutions and developing a regional platform for knowledge transfer on cacao value chain development. The organization's federal grant activities appear to be primarily focused on agricultural development and humanitarian assistance programs.
