New award for health, protection, MPCA, and hcima in syria

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $10,090,000 Project Grant under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). This 2-year grant, with an award date of October 1, 2024 and a completion date of September 30, 2026, will support critical health, protection, and gender-based violence prevention services in Syria.

As a global development agency focused on sexual and reproductive health, population issues, and gender equality, UNFPA will utilize this federal funding to deliver a range of essential humanitarian assistance in the crisis-affected region. Specific services include maternal healthcare, family planning, gender-based violence prevention and response, sexual and reproductive health services, humanitarian coordination and information management, and protection against sexual exploitation. UNFPA regularly partners with other UN agencies as sub-awardees to implement multi-sector programming aimed at saving lives, alleviating suffering, and supporting long-term resilience in challenging global contexts.
