This $2,802,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program aims to enhance humanitarian logistics and strengthen preparedness and collaboration for effective emergency response. The proposed activities are designed to strengthen humanitarian response systems by training and engaging key stakeholders, facilitating coordination through participation in meetings and collaboration with OCHA and the Logistics Cluster. This is expected to lead to improved logistics resilience, enhanced risk analysis integration into national emergency response plans, and a proactive approach towards joint humanitarian logistics response.

A sub-award of $720,000 was made to the Association Federation Handicap International, a foreign-owned non-profit organization, to provide a range of services including rehabilitation support for persons with disabilities, psychosocial services, protection services for refugees, health services, and emergency logistics assistance in regions such as Syria, Bangladesh, Thailand, Egypt, Colombia and Nepal. The project period is from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027.
