Transform PIO grant

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $25,000,000 Project Grant under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA 98.001) to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to deliver a range of goods and services in Somalia. The grant, titled "TRANSFORM PIO GRANT," will support FAO's work to combat hunger, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture worldwide. Key activities funded through this 3-year grant include emergency humanitarian assistance, food security coordination and monitoring, agricultural livelihood support, disease surveillance and control, supply chain analysis, training on nutrition and climate-smart practices, and development of data systems for analyzing threats to agricultural livelihoods. FAO will leverage its technical expertise and partnerships with local organizations to execute these critical development programs and advance U.S. foreign policy objectives related to global health, economic growth, emergency response, and security.
