To provide multi-sector support to conflict-affected populations in burkina faso

This $14,000,000 federal Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas program (CFDA 98.001), aims to provide multi-sector support to conflict-affected populations in Burkina Faso. The prime awardee, Action Contre La Faim (ACF), will deliver a range of critical humanitarian assistance and development services over the 2-year award period from July 2024 to June 2026.

Key products and services to be provided under this grant include: improving access to safe and equitable WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) services for vulnerable populations; diversifying and improving household incomes through alternative livelihoods development; conducting rapid health and nutrition assessments after shocks to guide emergency response; and providing psychosocial support services to improve the well-being and resilience of people suffering from psychological distress. ACF will collaborate with sub-awardees such as Impact Initiatives, a non-profit specializing in humanitarian information management and assessment, to deliver these comprehensive, multi-sector interventions.
