Awarding agency: U.S. Agency for international development cfda listing / assistance listing: 98.001 - USAID foreign assistance for programs overseas cfda narrative excerpt: the purpose of USAID's bureau for humanitarian assistance (BHA) international disaster assistance (IDA) program is to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance-including food, water, shelter, emergency healthcare, and other critical aid- to the world's most vulnerable and hardest-to-reach population affected by natural, man-made and complex disaster. BHA is the lead federal coordinator for international disaster assistance, harnessing the expertise and unique capacities of other U.S. Government, non-U.S. Entities & public international organizations (PIOS) to effectively respond to natural disasters, complex crises by providing emergency and food assistance around the world. Recipient: PALLADIUM international, LLC (PALLADIUM) this award will provide financial support to PALLADIUM international, LLC (PALLADIUM) for a program entitled, "market-based approached for sustainable livelihoods in mozambique's cabo delgado province" in mozambique. The theory of change is if the activity increases internally displaced persons' (IDP) and returnees' access to (1) agricultural technologies, (2) financial services, and (3) business and financial literacy skills, and does this by building linkages with private sector intermediaries. Then IDP and returnee households will have increased resources and opportunities that result in increased production, income, and food security, reducing reliance on assistance and supporting the transition of households from food assistance to sustainable livelihoods. The total number of beneficiaries that will be supported under this award is 175,620 individuals.
