The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to address the nutrition crisis in Mali. The grant, funded under USAID's Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program, will support UNICEF's efforts to deliver critical health, nutrition, protection, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) assistance to vulnerable populations in Mali. As an experienced implementer of USAID-funded programs, UNICEF has received over $1.5 billion in federal grants since 2005 to provide humanitarian and developmental aid aligned with USAID's objectives. This project grant builds on UNICEF's prior work, including a $50.7 million award from USAID to support similar interventions in Ethiopia from 2021-2023.
