The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $10,000,000 Project Grant under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to Lead Exposure Elimination Project Inc., a non-profit organization, to support a 2-year initiative to enable a global switch to lead-free paint. The project aims to address the critical public health issue of lead exposure, particularly in developing countries, by catalyzing the transition to safer, lead-free paints. The funding will be used to develop and implement programs to phase out lead-based paints, raise awareness, and build local capacity to manufacture and use lead-free paint alternatives. This grant aligns with USAID's broader objectives of promoting sustainable development, protecting public health, and advancing U.S. foreign policy interests in target regions.
