To deliver life-saving emergency assistance to flood-affected people in pakistan, including nutrition assistance and hygiene/sanitation supplies

The Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) awarded UNICEF a $1.0 million Project Grant on September 12, 2025, under the Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for South Asia (CFDA 19.523) to deliver emergency humanitarian assistance to flood-affected populations in Pakistan. The award, with a completion date of March 11, 2026, funds the delivery of life-saving emergency relief services including nutrition assistance and hygiene/sanitation supplies to vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters.

UNICEF, through its Programme and Policy Development Division, will implement this assistance in accordance with internationally accepted Sphere standards of care. The funding supports emergency response activities designed to ensure flood-affected populations have access to life-sustaining resources, with particular emphasis on nutrition support and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions. This award aligns with the federal grant program's objective to provide humanitarian assistance and protection services to vulnerable populations across South Asia while advancing U.S. policy priorities in the region.
