Emergency protection, water, sanitation and hygiene assistance to beneficiaries in the pacific region

Unicef PPD Division received a $1.59 million project grant award from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA 98.001) to deliver emergency protection, water, sanitation and hygiene assistance to beneficiaries in the Pacific region from May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2025. As the prime recipient, Unicef will implement critical WASH and emergency relief services for vulnerable populations aligned with the grant program's objective of supporting global health and humanitarian assistance overseas. Given Unicef's expertise in implementing nutrition, health, WASH and emergency programs under major USAID initiatives, the organization is well positioned to utilize this funding to accelerate access to safe water and sanitation for disaster-impacted communities in the Pacific region through April 2025.
